Your camera uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
format to automatically adjust image quality to
suit the recording scene. This technology
causes fluctuations in the recording time of the
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media. Movies
containing quickly moving and complex
images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and
this reduces the overall recording time.
