Setting the frame rate
Follow the procedure below to set the frame rate at which video clips are recorded. The frame
rate tells you how many frames are recorded each second. The greater the frame rate, the
smoother the motion in the video clip, but also the larger the size of the video clip file.
Caution
œ
Although video clips recorded at different frame rates can be joined using the video clip editing
functions (see page 139), the video clip recorded at 30 frames/second will be converted to 15
frames/second. If you are going to join video clips together, it is recommended to record them
at the same frame rate.
