This is the highest quality mode of this unit.
This unit uses the VBR recording system. “VBR” stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in which •
the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is being
shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.
Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be •
slightly shorter.
The unit is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 12 hours.•
Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions:•
When there are complex patterns in the background ·
When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode) ·
Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SD •
Memory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using this unit. When a card is formatted, all
of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Save any
valuable data on your computer or other storage media or other storage media prior to formatting.
