• 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.
