What is bit rate
This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher 
when the number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is 
an abbreviation of “Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period 
of time) is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the 
recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded.
 
Motion pictures recorded using [High Speed Video] Scene Mode are recorded in Motion 
JPEG with a picture size of QVGA (320×240 pixels).
