'Q'Tips
• Figures such
as
9M and 6M
in
the table show the average bit rate. M stands for Mbps.
• If you use a double-sided disc, you can record
on
both sides ofthe disc (p.l03).
Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format
to
automatically adjust image quality
to
suit the
recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations
in
the recording time of a disc. Movies containing
quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and this reduces the overall recording
time.
