Selecting the Image Quality/Size
You can select the image quality of still images, and the image size of still images and
movies.
Still images are compressed and recorded in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group).
Movies are recorded in Motion JPEG.
The number of still images and maximum recording time of movies that can be recorded
on a memory card vary according to the recording condition. The estimated figures are as
follows:
Number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card:
Maximum recording time of a movie on a memory card:
Depending on the number of images on the memory card (Windows: more than
1800 images; Macintosh: more than 1000 images), you may not be able to
download images to a computer. In such case, use a card reader.
Connection to a PictBridge compliant printer will not work when the memory
card contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend
to keep the number of images on the memory card less than 100.
Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer
using a USB cable, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min.
in 320 x 240 and 35 min. in 160 x 120.
