At the time of purchase, the built-in memory contains about 70 MB of music files and 5 MB of image files.

NOTE

Scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be saved onto AVCHD discs. Save such scenes onto Blu-ray discs or use the supplied PIXELA's VideoBrowser to back up such scenes. If you use PIXELA's Video-Browser, however, scenes will be converted to FXP mode quality.
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 camcorder to <> mode.
