Caution
If you select 50P or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at 50 frames per second, progressive.
Bit rate (measured in Mbps) indicates how much video data is recorded in 1 second.
Depending on the video quality used, you may not be able to use the iOS / Android device to check movies before saving them or to play back movies after saving them.
Movies recorded in 50P or MXP mode cannot be saved on AVCHD discs. You can copy such movies from the memory card onto Blu-ray discs using a Blu-ray Disc recorder that has an SD card slot and is compatible with AVCHD ver. 2.0.
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 following types of MP4 scenes will be recognized as multiple files on other devices.
- Scenes exceeding 4 GB.
- Scenes recorded at 35 Mbps exceeding 30 minutes.
- Scenes recorded at a video quality other than 35 Mbps exceeding 1 hour.
Depending on the TV, you may not be able to play back movies recorded in 50P or at 35 Mbps.
