This is the highest quality mode of this camera.
This camera uses the VBR recording system. “VBR” stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in
which the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is
being shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.
Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be slightly shorter.
The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 1 hours.
Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions:
When there are complex patterns in the background
When the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quickly
When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode)
Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SD
Memory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using the camera. When a card is formatted,
all of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Save
any valuable data on your PC prior to formatting.
