D Movie Options
Options can be selected for the movie that is shot when the movie mode switch is
rotated to HD. The higher the resolution and bitrate, the higher the picture quality;
but the file size also becomes larger.
• 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 (fps) in any options.
