Recording Settings and Shooting Modes
* You can view details about the video quality with the following procedure.
To view information on the video quality
1 Touch [I].
• A screen with the resolution, bit rate and frame rate will appear.
2 Touch [K].
• For details on approximate recording times, refer to the Ref-
erence Tables (A 297).
• If you select 50P or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at
50 frames per second, progressive.
• Bit rate (measured in Mbps) indicates how much video data is
recorded in 1 second.
• Depending on the video quality used, you may not be able to
use the iOS/Android device to check movies before saving
them or to play back movies after saving them.
• Movies recorded in 50P or MXP mode cannot be saved on
AVCHD discs. You can copy such movies from the memory
card onto Blu-ray discs using a Blu-ray Disc recorder that has
an SD card slot and is compatible with AVCHD ver. 2.0.
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video
so the actual recording times will vary depending on the con-
tent of the scenes.
