* Recorded in 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Movies recorded using other recording modes are recorded in 1,440 x 1,080 resolution.
NOTE:
  • Images recorded in MXP mode cannot be saved to the disc by using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Please use the supplied software PIXELA ImageMixer 3 SE to save the images.
  • In FXP/XP+/SP/LP mode, recording continuously for more than approximately 13 hours is not possible. In MXP mode, recording continuously for more than approximately 9 hours is not possible. In each case, operation stops automatically when the specified time has elapsed.
  • 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 camcorder to EASY mode.
