Movie Options
Select the type of movies that are recorded.
• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bitrate
(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.
