C Notes on Frame rate and Bitrate
• The frame rate values indicate the number of frames per second. With a higher frame rate, the
movies become more seamless but the file size also becomes larger.
• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bitrate (VBR)
system has been adopted, the movie bitrate varies automatically according to the subject so that
more data is recorded per second for movies containing frequently moving subjects, thus
increasing movie file size.
HS Movie
When recorded movies are played back, the camera plays back the movies in slow
motion or fast motion.
See “Recording Movies in Slow Motion and Fast Motion (HS Movie)” (E51) for
more information.
