#### P2 card recording times

(Example when a 64 GB card is used)

System mode | Recording format (codec) | Recording time
--- | --- | ---
1080P | AVC-Intra 200 30PN AVC-Intra 200 25PN AVC-Intra 100 | Approx. 32 min
AVC-LongG 25 | Approx. 128 min
AVC-LongG 12 | Approx. 240 min
1080i, 720P | AVC-Intra 200 | Approx. 32 min
AVC-Intra 100 | Approx. 64 min
AVC-Intra 50 | Approx. 128 min
AVC-LongG 50 | Approx. 128 min
AVC-LongG 25 | Approx. 256 min
AVC-LongG 12 | Approx. 480 min
DVCPRO HD | Approx. 64 min
480i, 576i | DVCPRO50 | Approx. 128 min
DVCPRO | Approx. 256 min
DV | Approx. 256 min

NOTE

- The above table shows values for regular recording. With native recording, even longer recording times are available depending on the system mode.

- In the case of 32 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/2 of the above recording times, in the case of 16 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/4, and in the case of 8 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/8.

- Indicated capacities include management and other area, so the space available for recording is less than the values in the table above.

## Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards

If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer. When recording on microP2 memory cards that exceed 32 GB in AVC-LongG codec, recording can be continued as the same clip by selecting [ONE FILE] from the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. It will also be divided to recording files of approximately 128 seconds each when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. However, they can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnail of the clips are operated on the P2 device. When using the rec during upload function, you can speed up timing when the partition unit of the recording file becomes small and clip transfer is started by selecting [SHORT SPLIT]. [SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval, one-shot, loop, and background recording modes.

Recording format (excluding native recording) | Continuous recording time
