the recorded video can be played back at low speed (x1/2).

 

 

 

"60p"/"30p" indicates the camcorder will record in progressive scan mode at 60/30 frames per second.

Recorded files are encoded with Variable Bit Rate (VBR). VBR is an encoding system that automatically adjusts the bit rate according to the recording image.

High resolution images occupy more memory space than low resolution images. If the higher resolution is selected, there is less space to record videos in the memory.
