Recording will not be possible on an SD memory card in a speed class lower than speed class 4 or on a card that does not support speed classes. *2: To record in HG and HE modes, use a speed class 2 or better SD memory card. Recording will not be possible on an SD memory card in a speed class lower than speed class 2. *3: This is the highest image quality mode for this unit. ◆ NOTE: • This unit supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording, which automatically varies the bit rate (data rate per time period) for a subject. This recording mode uses more space for recording fast-moving subjects, so available recording time is reduced. • The indicated capacities include a management area so the total area available for recording is somewhat smaller. • Continuous recording provides up to 12 hours of recording. • The recording conditions listed below may produce mosaic noise on a playback screen. - Background with a complex pattern - Recording fast-moving subjects (especially during shooting in the HE recording mode) • The recording time may decrease on an SD memory card that is frequently recorded and deleted. Reformat such SD memory cards in the unit before use. Formatting an SD memory card will delete all data recorded on the card and make subsequent recovery impossible. Store important data on a PC. • One recording session from start to end is one clip. • Pressing the STOP button to stop a short recording will not immediately stop data write operations to an SD memory card. The unit will not recognize the pressing of the STOP button in a situation like this. • When an SD memory card is inserted, SD memory card information is loaded into the unit, and the access lamp blinks in orange. Wait until the access lamp is lit steadily in orange, and press the REC + PLAY button to start recording. • An SD memory card can record up to 900 clips. 162 AVCHD Recording and Playback: Using an Optional AVCHD Board
