Choosing the Movie Mode
(Normal/Frame)
The Frame mode can be used when you want to look at a video, scene by scene, free from field slippage
(the “flicker” that normally occurs when you pause a video). The vertical resolution of the image is
improved by 1.5×. During playback, pause the video at any time if you would like to view a crystal clear
still image in the display or on a connected TV screen. It is also possible to transfer your favorite still
pictures to a PC for image enhancement and print out.
Since the frame rate is close to that of a movie, this mode can be used to create “cinematic-like appearance.”
1. Turn the POWER dial to any recording program except Easy Recording.
2. Open the camera menu and select CAM. SET UP.
3. Select MOVIE MODE, then select FRAME setting.
4. Close the menu.
FRAME appears in the viewfinder.
Notes:
To return to normal video shooting, you need to re-select NORMAL from MOVIE MODE at the camera
menu.
Frame mode cannot be used with the Easy Recording program.
Frame video may not appear completely smooth during normal playback.
