3Setting the Movie-Recording Size

 

With [z4: Movie rec. size], you can set

 

the movie’s image size, frame rate per

 

second, and compression method. The

 

frame rate switches automatically

 

depending on the [53: Video system]

 

setting.

 

In the <A> mode, these menu options

 

are displayed under [z2].

 

 

Image size

 

A[1920x1080]

: Full High-Definition (Full HD) recording quality.

 

The aspect ratio will be 16:9.

B[1280x720]

: High-Definition (HD) recording quality. The

 

aspect ratio will be 16:9.

C[640x480]

: Standard-definition recording quality. The

 

aspect ratio will be 4:3.

Frame rate (fps: frames per second)

6/8 : For areas where the TV format is NTSC (North America, Japan, Korea, Mexico, etc.).

5/7 : For areas where the TV format is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.).

4: Mainly for motion pictures.

Compression method

XIPB : Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. Since the file size will be smaller than with ALL-I, you can shoot longer.

WALL-I (I-only) : Compresses one frame at a time for recording. Although the file size will be bigger than with IPB, the movie will be more suited for editing.
