DVANCED RECORDING
IMAGE SIZE (MOVIE)
Movies can be recorded at three sizes: 640x480, 320x240, and
160x120. The larger the image size, the higher the image quality
and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in the movie menu (p.
44).
FRAME RATE
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 the movie menu (p. 44).

Approximate recording rate
If image size or frame rate is changed, the frame counter will display the approximate number of sec-
onds that can be recorded at that setting on the installed memory card. One memory card can con-
tain movie clips with differing sizes and frame rates. 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.
