Recording motion pictures

• The quality becomes higher when the number of bit rate gets bigger. This unit uses the

“VBR” recording method, and the bit rate is changed automatically depending on the

subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast

movement is recorded.

• Limitations on continuous recording (→41)
