Note
• The recording time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the
shooting scene.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time
is shorter because a lot of memory needed to record.
The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject
or the setting of image quality/size.
