You can shoot a number of still images
consecutively (GIF animation). Because the
file size is small, these images are ideal for
use on a home page, or for attaching to an e-
mail message.
• Clip Motion images are restricted to color
levels of 256 colors and below. This is a
characteristic of GIF format recording. For this
reason, the image quality of some images may
deteriorate.
NORMAL (160×120)
The maximum number of frames you can
shoot in one Clip Motion shot is 10. This is
the best choice for use on a home page.
MOBILE (120×108)
Two frames is the maximum number that
can be shot in Clip Motion in this mode.
• MOBILE mode has strict file size limits, so
picture quality falls accordingly.
• For the number of images you can record using
Clip Motion, see page 87.

Shooting techniques
The color of the subject that you see will be
captured according to the lighting
conditions. Under the bright summer sun,
everything will appear bluish, under a light
sources like a light bulb, white objects will
appear reddish. The human eye has an
excellent ability to adjust. Even when
lighting conditions change, the eye can
adjust and recognize the correct color almost
instantly. However, digital still cameras are
greatly influenced by light. Normally, this
camera adjusts automatically, but if you
notice that the color of the entire image
seems to be a bit unnatural when replaying
an image on the LCD screen, it is
recommended that you adjust the white
balance.
