with focusing or it may take time to focus.
•When [ ], [ ] or [ ] is set, the recording may  be brighter or darker from the second picture 
depending on changes in the brightness of the subject.
•Recording is performed by the electronic shutter when [ ] or [ ] is selected, so the recorded

•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.
