Recording Time and Recording Speed

Time required for recording (recording speed)
When recording video, the length of time required for recording depends on the REC mode
setting (such as FX, HD FH, SP, etc.) on a camera used to shoot the video, and the number of
scenes the video 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.
