• “ALL-Intra” refers to a data compression method
in which each frame is compressed. The file size

of motion pictures recorded in this method becomes larger, but this method can prevent the loss of image quality because editing does not require re-encoding.

•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.

•Depending on the [Rec Format] and [Rec Quality] of a motion picture, the speed class rating required for the card differs. Use a card that meets the rating. For details, refer to “About the motion picture recording and speed class” on P15.
