    Recording modes
    The camcorder offers three video quality options (bit rates*) for recording movies. Select 24 Mbps for higher video quality; select 4 Mbps for longer recording times or smaller file sizes.

    NOTE
    • Bit rate (measured in Mbps) indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video and therefore affects also the recording time available on the memory card.
    • Depending on the device used, you may not be able to play back your recordings on other devices.
    • 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.
    • Long scenes, whose video data exceeds 4 GB, will be recognized as multiple files on other devices.

    IMPORTANT
    For approximate recording times, see Approximate recording times (VIXIA mini / LEGRIA mini).
