About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
The picture quality or sound quality of recorded motion pictures may be deteriorated even
when they are played back with the compatible devices. Also, recording information may
not be displayed correctly. Use this unit to playback in such case.
If you want to use another device to play back motion pictures recorded in [FHD/60p], [FHD/
30p], [FHD/24p] of [AVCHD] or if you want to transfer them to the device, a PC installed with
“PHOTOfunSTUDIO” or a compatible Blu-ray disc recorder is required.
If you want to use another device to play back or edit motion pictures recorded in [MOV], a
high-performance PC environment or a PC installed with “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” is required.
Please check the following website about the compatible devices for details.

D Frame rate (sensor output)
“ALL-Intra” refers to a data compression method in which each frame is compressed. The file
size of motion pictures recorded in this method becomes larger, but this method can prevent
the loss of image quality because editing does not require re-encoding.
What is bit rate
This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher when the
number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation for
“Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period of time) is changed
automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened
when a subject with fast movement is recorded.
