The numbers in parentheses are minimum recording
times.
[Tips]

The maximum number of recordable scenes is as
follows.
– AVCHD: Up to 3,999
– XAVC S: Up to 600

The continuous recording time is about 13 hours.

The unit uses VBR (variable bit rate) to automatically
adjust the bit rate (volume of data recorded within a
specified period) according to the scene. Therefore,
recording times for memory cards may vary. For
example, a video with fast moving images will take
up a larger amount of space on a memory card to
record the images clearly, thereby reducing the total
recording time for the card.
