Bit rate is the data volume for a given period of time. The bigger the volume, the
higher the picture quality. This unit uses 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.
●
The aspect ratio of motion pictures is set using [Rec Quality]. The aspect ratio of
motion pictures will not be changed even if you operate the aspect ratio selector
switch.
●
You can record motion pictures to the built-in memory only in [VGA] mode.
