FRAME RATE AND 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/audio recording menu (page 57).
If image size or frame rate is
changed, the frame counter
displays the approximate number of
seconds that can be recorded with
the installed card. The total time
that can be stored on a card is
determined by the capacity 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 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 set lower with Night Movies because of the higher
sensitivity. The movie mode is set in section 1 of the movie/audio recording
menu (page 57).
