This unit records in VBR. VBR is an abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a subject with sharp movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.

Mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image in the following cases. jWhen there is a complicated pattern in the background

jWhen the unit is moved too much or too fast

jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded (Particularly if it has been recorded in [LP] mode.)

If you record still pictures on the HDD or an SD card, the recordable time available for the motion picture will become shorter.
