What is bit rate

This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes

higher when the number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method.

“VBR” is an abbreviation of “Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for

definite period of time) is changed automatically depending on the subject to record.

Therefore, the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is

recorded.
