Notes (DSC-W730)
The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit
Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter
because more memory is required for recording.
The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image
