Advanced Shooting
This chapter covers advanced shooting functions, such as Spe-
cial Scene modes and Baby mode. For details about basic 
video shooting, refer to  Basic Shooting and Playback  (A 41).
Selecting the Movie Format (AVCHD/MP4) 
You can choose to record movies in AVCHD or MP4 format. AVCHD 
movies are ideal for playback with fantastic picture quality. MP4 mov-
ies are versatile and can easily be played back on smartphones or 
uploaded to the Web. 
Operating modes:
Selecting the Video Quality
The camcorder offers several video quality options (measured by bit 
rate*) for recording movies. For AVCHD movies, select 60P or MXP 
mode for higher quality and select LP for longer recording times. Simi-
larly, for MP4 movies, select 35 Mbps or 24 Mbps mode for higher 
quality and 4 Mbps mode for longer recording times. If you select 60P 
or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at 60P frames per second, pro-
gressive.
The table after the following procedure gives approximate recording 
times.
* Bit rate indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video and also 
affects recording time available on the memory. Movies with higher bit rates will 
have higher video quality while those with lo wer bit rates will have smaller file sizes, 
allowing you to record longer and upload more quickly.
