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. ∫ About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures Even when a compatible device is used, recorded motion pictures may be played back with reduced picture and sound quality, or they may not be played back. Also, recording information may not be displayed correctly. Use this unit to playback in such case. • If you want to use another device to play back motion pictures recorded in [FHD/28M/60p], [FHD/24M/30p], [FHD/24M/24p] of [AVCHD] or if you want to transfer them to the device, a PC installed with "PHOTOfunSTUDIO" or a compatible Blu-ray disc recorder is required. • For motion pictures recorded with [MP4] set to [4K/100M/30p] or [4K/100M/24p], refer to "Watching 4K motion pictures on a TV/ Saving 4K motion pictures on your PC or recorder" on P332. 242
