See “Recording Movies in Slow Motion and Fast Motion (HS Movie)” (E54) for
more information.
* The maximum recording time refers only to the section shot for slow motion or fast motion playback.
• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bitrate (VBR)
system has been adopted, the movie recording rate 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.
