NOTES
Movies recorded in MXP mode cannot be saved on AVCHD discs. Use
an external Blu-ray Disc recorder to copy MXP movies onto Blu-ray
discs or use the supplied software VideoBrowser to create AVCHD
discs*.
The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.
The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to mode.
* MXP scenes will be converted to an image quality similar to that of FXP scenes.
