varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This
means if a subject with sharp movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.
≥ Mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image in the following cases.
jWhen there is a complicated pattern in the background
jWhen the unit is moved too much or too fast
jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded
(Particularly if it has been recorded in [LP] mode.)
