Movie Shooting

Available Shooting Modes p. 218

The following movie modes are available.

The recording time will vary according to the capacity of the memory card you use (p. 210).

Standard

You can select the recording pixels and record until the memory card is full*1. The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this mode (p. 58).

•Maximum Size: 4 GB*2/movie

Compact

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 have only the specified color remain and change all others into black and white, or change a specified color into a different color (pp. 103, 105). As with the Standard mode, you can also select the recording pixels and record until the memory card is full*1.

•Maximum Size: 4 GB*2/movie

Time Lapse

Select a shooting interval (1 or 2 sec.) to have a single frame shot at that interval. When played back, two hours worth of recorded frames is compressed to 8 minutes (1-sec. interval) or 4 minutes (2-sec. interval). You can record events from a fixed perspective, such as the spectacle of a flower budding over time, or view changing elements in a short period. Sound cannot be recorded in this mode.

• Maximum recording session: 2 hours.

*1 When a super high-speed memory card is used: SDC-512MSH is recommended.

*2 Even if the file size has not reached 4 GB, the recording is stopped when the recording time reaches one hour. Depending on memory card capacity and data write speed, recording may stop before the file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches one hour.
