Selecting the Video Quality
(Recording Mode)
• 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
mode.
The camcorder offers 4 recording
modes. Changing the recording mode
will change the recording time available
on the memory. Select FXP or XP+
mode for better movie quality; select LP
mode for longer recording times. The

This camcorder supports Exif 2.2 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between
camcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camcorder’s image data at the time of shooting is
used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.
Recordings made with the [PF25] frame rate are converted and recorded on the memory as 50i.
