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 for
“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.
Applicable modes:
The method for achieving focus varies depending on the focus mode ([AFS/AFF/AFC]
(P147)
and Manual Focus
(P158)
) and the [Continuous AF] setting in the [Motion Picture]
menu.
•
The interchangeable lens (H-H020A) utilises a lens drive system to realize a compact and
bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is
not a malfunction.
•
Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, operational sound may be recorded when
the Auto Focus is operated while recording a motion picture. It is recommended to record with
[Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if the sound of operation bothers you
to avoid recording the lens noise.
•
When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.
•
When the interchangeable lens (H-H020A) is used, [AFF] and [AFC] cannot be set.
