Sony MVC-FD87 service manual Creating Clip Motion Files, Recording still images for e-mail E- Mail

Tips

The size of the image is indicated by the pixel unit. The higher the number of pixels, the more information is included. So, an image that is saved using a large number of pixels is suitable for a large- format print and one that is saved using a smaller number of pixels is suitable for attaching to an E-mail. Normally, an image is recorded in the ratio of four to three to fit the monitor ratio. This camera can also record the image in the ratio of three to two to accommodate the most common printing paper size. This is the same ratio as the one used in photo- developing shops.

Creating Clip Motion Files

Clip Motion is an animation function 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 is convenient for creating home pages or attaching images to an e-mail.

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.

Recording still images for e-mail (E- MAIL)

The E-MAIL mode records a small- size (320×240) image at the same time as a still image. Small-size images are convenient for e-mail transmission, etc. Images in E-MAIL mode are recorded in the JPEG format.
