Note

time by several seconds (p. 50).
Depending on video quality settings, on-screen display may
become difficult to decipher. Set after confirming appearance
on actual images.
Block noise may become noticeable if a large video size and
low target bit rate are set.
The data size may increase depending on the type or
movement of the subject. If the frame rate remains low or
other undesirable conditions continue for a prolonged
period, lower the video size or quality setting.
If you are using RM-Lite, it is necessary for you to set [I
Frame Interval (sec)] as shown below depending on the
value selected for [Frame Rate (fps)] in [H.264].
Note that if you are using included RM-Lite, the hard disk
usage will also be affected during recording.
[Frame Rate (fps)] [I Frame Interval (sec)]
30 fps 0.5 sec.
15 fps 1 sec.
10 fps 1.5 sec.
Important
The on-screen time display is not suitable for usage where high
