"_° Tips
• Figures such as 9M m_d6M in the table show the avcrage bit rate. M stands lbr Mbps.
• II you use a double-sidcd disc, you can record on both sides of the disc (p. 103).
Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) lbrnmt to automatically adjust image quality to suil the
recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of a disc. Movies conlaining
quickly moving and complex inmges are recorded al a higher bit rale. and lhis reduces the overall recording
