Available Settings List (FUNC.)

Available menu items vary depending on the operation mode. Default settings are in
boldface text. For details on each function, see the reference page.

1

This option is available only when recording still images on the memory card

.

Recording mode: You can choose between XP (high quality), SP (standard play) or LP
(long play).


Recording in LP mode gives you a longer recording time; however, depending on the
condition of the disc (long usage, imperfections, etc.) the picture and sound recorded in
LP mode may be distorted. We recommend using the XP or SP mode for important
recordings.



Approximate recording times with the supplied DVD-R blank disc are as follows:
XP (high quality): 20 min., SP (standard play): 30 minutes, LP (long play): 60 minutes.
The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) when encoding the video data so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.



Depending on the recording mode, you might occasionally notice a brief stop of the
picture or sound at the point where the scene changes.
