REFERENCE
- In LP mode, recordings are more liable to be affected by imperfections of the disc used or recording conditions and you may experience some anomalies (blocky video artifacts, banding, skipping audio, etc.) during playback. We recommend using XP or SP mode for important recordings.
- 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.
