Checking the Available Recording Time

When the camcorder is in <CAMERA> mode, the screen indicates which CF card slot is in use and the available recording time (in minutes*) that remains on each CF card.

* The approximate available recording time is based on the current bit rate.

When the camcorder is in <MEDIA> mode, the side panel indicates the available recording time.

On the [Media] status screen, you can check the available recording time, total space and used space of each recording media, and the available number of photos.

Follow the procedures below to display the [Media] Status Screen.

Press the <STATUS> button.

Push the joystick up/down or use the <SELECT> dial to scroll through the status screens.
