FRAME RATE & MOVIE FILE SIZES

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 section
1 of the movie menu (p. 40).

30 fps
15 fps

30 fps
15 fps

Approximate recording rate

If image size or frame rate is changed, the
frame counter displays the approximate
number of seconds that can be recorded with
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. The writing speed of the memory card
may prematurely end the recording of a movie
clip.

MOVIE MODE

The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard produces a normal
movie clip. Night Movie uses high camera sensitivity to record under low light levels;
camera sensitivity increases automatically in low light. Image quality can be lower with
Night Movies because of the higher sensitivity. The movie mode is set in section 1 of the
movie menu (p. 40).
