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 of subjects with large
amounts of motion, the file size increases.
• The frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second for all options.
• For information about recording time, see A 84.
