Movie Mode
The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Three options are available on the
movie menu:
Standard movie - to record a color movie under normal lighting conditions.
Night Movie - to record under low light levels. Night Movies are black and white. While Night
Movies can be recorded under normal conditions, bright outdoor lighting may be beyond the expo-
sure control range.
Auto select - automatically switch between standard and Night Movie modes depending on the
lighting conditions. When recording, the mode is fixed.
Image Size and Frame Rate
Movies can be recorded at two sizes: 544x408 and 320x240. The larger the image size, the higher
the image quality and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in the movie menu.
Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. The higher the frame rate, the
smoother the moving image and the larger the file sizes. Frame rate is set in the movie menu. The
computer environment may affect the playback of 544x408 30fps movies.
If image size or frame rate is changed, the
frame counter displays the approximate
number of seconds that can be recorded
at that setting on the installed memory
card. The total time that can be stored on
a memory card is determined by the size
of the card and the recording rate. The
actual file size is determined by the scene;
some subjects can be compressed further
than others.
