Set the mode switch to the movie-recording position (1). Before
recording, the data-panel and monitor frame counters show the
maximum time in seconds that can be recorded. The length of
the movie clip depends on the image size and frame rate, and
the space available on the memory card. The maximum recording
time is 6 minutes with 544x408 30fps movies or 15 minutes with
other size and frame-rate combinations; low light levels can
shorte this time. Image size and frame rate is selected with the
movie menu (p. 112). For more on movie recording, see page
114.
