C Notes About Frame Rates and Bit Rates
• Frame rates describe the number of frames captured each second. Movies with higher frame rates
are smoother, but their file sizes are larger.
• Bit rates describe the amount of data captured each second. The camera uses variable bit rate
(VBR) encoding to automatically adjust the bit rate depending on the subject being recorded.
Movies of subjects with large amounts of motion have larger file sizes.
B Notes About HS Movie

• Zoom position, focus, exposure, and white balance are locked when you start recording.
