[Encode Mode]

Lets you select the encoding mode for converting analog image data into digital data. You can choose from the following three modes.

Specify the encoding size control method and target file size when encoding JPEG files.

●[Variable File Size]:

The file size increases or decreases depending on the image. Specify this to maintain the constant image quality.

*Note that maximum recording time varies when recording JPEG files with this option as the file size increases or decreases.

●[Average File Size]:Multiple JPEG files are encoded to reach the designated size as average size.●[Constant File Size]:

Each JPEG file is encoded to reach the designated size. Since the processing load is heavy with the Constant File Size, which decreases the maximum processing frame rate by approximately one quarter of the average frame rate speed.

*You can specify the file size from the [Image Quality] bar in the [Device Settings] (☞Page 28) on the [Camera Record Setting] window.

Note

•If the comb-like noise (jagged noise) which occurs on the edge of moving objects annoys you, select the required encoding mode, then select the check box next to [Interpolate].
