  2. Bit Rate is described by system rate(including movie, sounds and others).
  3. PS mode (28Mbps) and FX mode (24Mbp) are peak bit rate.
  4. With SteadyShot stabilization inactive.
  5. Capacity will vary based on type and complexity of images recorded.
  6. Approximate number when recording only still images.
  7. Not available in the recording mode 60p (PS), 24p(FX/FH) and 60i(FX).
  8. Backlight brightness will automatically be set "Bright" when connected to AC adaptor.
