Selecting the Video Quality
The camcorder offers several video quality options (measured by bit
rate*) for recording movies. For AVCHD movies, select 60P or MXP
mode for higher quality and select LP for longer recording times. Simi-
larly, for MP4 movies, select 35 Mbps or 24 Mbps mode for higher
quality and 4 Mbps mode for longer recording times. If you select 60P
or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at 60P frames per second, pro-
gressive.
The table after the following procedure gives approximate recording
times.
* Bit rate indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video and also
affects recording time available on the memory. Movies with higher bit rates will
have higher video quality while those with lower bit rates will have smaller file sizes,
allowing you to record longer and upload more quickly.
