to delete the demonstration movie on your
camcorder.
Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit

Rate) format to automatically adjust image
quality to suit the recording scene. This
technology causes fluctuations in the recording
time of the media. Movies containing quickly
moving and complex images are recorded at
a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the overall
recording time.
