D Movie Options
Select the desired movie option to record. Larger image sizes and faster movie
bitrates mean greater image quality and larger movie file sizes.
• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. Variable
bitrate (VBR) encoding is used to automatically adjust the bitrate depending on
the subject being recorded. When recording movies with large amounts of
motion, the file size increases.

• When recording normal speed movies, select one of the normal speed movie
options (E52), and when recording HS movies, select one of the HS movie
options (E53).
