≥ Turning this camera application off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the unit
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording
interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases.
[For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the number of pictures would be
reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number of pictures given above (based upon one picture
taken every 30 seconds).]
Recording motion pictures
(Recording with picture quality set to [FHD 30p])
Recordable time Approx. 130 min

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.
