•The movie bit rate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bit rate (VBR) system has been adopted, the movie recording rate varies automatically according to the subject so that more data is recorded per second for movies containing frequently moving subjects, thus increasing movie file size.
•The frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second in any options.
