Movie mode
Movie can be recorded with and without audio. Audio is set in the movie menu (p. 44). When audio is
off, the optical zoom can be used during movie recording.
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 will
automatically increase in low light. Image quality can be lower with Night Movies because of the high-
er sensitivity. The movie mode is set in the movie menu (p. 44).
In movie recording, some functions can be changed with the movie menu. Exposure, focus, and cam-
era sensitivity are automatic. Exposure compensation can be used (p. 41).
The optical zoom can be used during recording if the audio is turned off in the menu. A 4X digital
zoom is available with or without audio during recording when the frame rate is set to 15fps.
When the red low-battery indicator appears (p. 14), power is insufficient for movie recording.
Depending on the image size and frame rate, the writing speed of the memory card in use may pre-
vent an entire movie clip from being recorded. Check the Minolta web site for the latest compatibility
