same way in mode as in mode. For details, refer to Dual
Shot Mode (0 44).
Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)

mode will change the recording time available on the memory. Select
MXP or FXP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer
recording times. The following table gives approximate recording
times.
NOTES
• 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.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to mode.
