The following movie modes are available.

Frame Rate: (30 frames/sec.), (15 frames/sec.)

Fast Frame Rate

Use this mode to record fast moving subjects, such as in sports photography.

Recording Pixels: (320 x 240)

Frame Rate: (60 frames/sec.)

Since there are few recording pixels and also the data size is small, this mode is convenient for sending movies as e-mail attachments or when the memory card capacity is low.

Maximum Clip Length: 3 minutes

Color Accent Color Swap

You can shoot and change all colors except a selected one to black and white or shoot and change a selected color to another (pp. 63, 64). As with the Standard mode, you can also select the recording pixels and frame rate and record until the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH).
