SHOOTING A MOVIE
SHOOTING A MOVIE
Before shooting a movie, you should specify a movie image
quality setting. Movie image quality is a standard that
determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of a movie during
playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HQ) setting will result
in better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time
you can shoot.
• Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording
stops automatically after 10 minutes of recording.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2. On the “Quality” tab, select “ Quality” and
then press [X].
3. Use [S] and [T] to select the quality setting
you want and then press [SET].
Movie File Formats
Movies are recorded in Motion JPEG standard AVI format.
Movies you shoot with your camera can be played back on a
computer using the following software.
– Windows Media Player
– Macintosh QuickTime
