•What is bit rate

This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher when the number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation for “Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period of time) is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded.

How to set focus when recording a motion picture (Continuous AF)

Focusing varies depending on the settings of the [Focus Mode] and the [Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu.

Focus Mode	Description of settings
AFS/AFF/AFC	The camera automatically keeps focusing on subjects during
	recording.¢
	• To readjust the focus, press the shutter button halfway.
MF	You can focus manually.

¢When [Continuous AF] is set to [OFF], the focus is locked to the position set at the start of

recording.

•Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, operational sound may be recorded when the Auto Focus is operated while recording a motion picture. It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if the sound of operation bothers you to avoid recording the lens noise.

•When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.
