HDV/DV recording in SP mode is recorded at a data rate of 25mbps (approx 3.5MB/s). This data rate equals approx. 13GB/hr.
Attention:
- Depending on the tape and its usage condition, picture and sound recorded in LP mode may be distorted. We recommend using SP mode for important recordings.
- If you record in SP and LP modes on the same tape, the playback picture may become distorted, and the time code may not be written correctly.
- If you play back on this camcorder, a tape that was recorded in LP mode with another digital device or vice versa, the picture and sound may become distorted.
