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. - 160 -
