Recording Time and Video Lengths

Time required for recording
When recording video, the length of time required for recording depends on the REC mode

contains. Typically, more time is required to record videos onto a disc if the video was
recorded with a higher image quality (bit rate) setting. The chart below provides a general
estimate of time required to record.
