that plays back still images in
succession. Clip Motion images are
played back on this camera at
approximately 0.5 s intervals. The
images are stored in GIF format, which

Notes
•
Reading and writing data takes more time
than normal image recording.
•
Due to the limitations of the GIF format,
the number of colors for Clip Motion
images is reduced to 256 colors or less.
Therefore, the picture quality may
deteriorate for some images.
•
The file size is reduced in MOBILE mode,
so the picture quality deteriorates.
•
GIF files not created on this camera may
not be displayed correctly.
