Shooting multiple
frames
– CLIP MOTION
Mode dial:
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 ten. 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 91.
