What is bit rate
This is the volume of data for a defined period of time. The quality is higher when the number
gets larger. This camera uses the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation for
“Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for defined 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.
Available in the following modes:
The method for achieving focus varies depending on the focus mode (P140) and the
[Continuous AF] setting in the [Motion Picture] menu.
•
When the focus mode is set to [AFS], [AFF] or [AFC], if you press the shutter button halfway
while recording a motion picture, the camera will re-adjust the focus setting.
• Depending on the recording conditions, an operational sound may be recorded when 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] to
avoid recording the lens noise.
• When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, refocusing may take time.
