•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 of “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.

•[GFS]/[FSH] can record motion pictures with even higher definition and picture quality than [GS], [SH].

•GPS information can be stored when you record with [AVCHD] set to [GFS] or [GS].

•It cannot be recorded to built-in memory except for the [QVGA].
