•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 for 
“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.
Applicable modes: 
The method for achieving focus varies depending on the focus mode  (P139) and the 
[Continuous AF] setting in the [Motion Picture] menu.
•
When the focus mode is set to [AFS], [AFF] or [AFC], if you press the shutter button halfway 
while recording a motion picture, the camera will re-adjust the focus.
•Depending on the recording conditions, operat ional sound may be recorded when the Auto 
Focus is operated while recording a motion picture.
It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if 
the sound of operation bothers you to avoid recording the lens noise.
•When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.

sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following: –
Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide]  (P239) in the [Playback] 
menu. 
The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record 
approximately 3 seconds longer.
