Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the
recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of a disc.
Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and this reduces
the overall recording time.
