C Frame Rate and Bitrate
• The frame rate is the number of frames per second.
• 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 a subject with large amounts of motion, the file size increases.
HS Movie Options
Recorded movies are played back in fast or slow motion.
See “Recording Movies in Slow Motion and Fast Motion (HS Movie)” (E77).
* While recording movies, the camera can be switched between normal speed movie recording
and slow motion or fast motion movie recording.
The maximum recording time shown here refers only to the portion of the movie that is recorded
in slow motion or fast motion.
B Notes About HS Movie
• Sound is not recorded.
• Zoom position, focus, exposure, and white balance are locked when movie recording starts.
• The h HS 480/4× setting cannot be used with Soft or Nostalgic sepia in special effects
mode (A51). If you try to use both settings at the same time, only the setting made first is
enabled. Even if you first select Soft or Nostalgic sepia in special effects mode and then switch
to another shooting mode and select h HS 480/4×, the movie options setting automatically
changes to i HS 720/2× when you return to special effects mode and select Soft or
Nostalgic sepia.
