Movie Shooting

Shooting Mode

The following movie modes are available.

For information on the recording pixels and frame rate in each mode, refer to Recording Pixels and Frame Rates (p. 38).

Standard

You can 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).

The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this mode (p. 28).

• Maximum Size: 1 GB/movie*

Fast Frame Rate

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

• Maximum Clip Length: 1 minute

Compact

Since the recording pixels are few and 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

zThe recording time will differ according to the memory card used (p. 110).

*Even if the size of the movie data has not reached 1 GB, recording will stop when a shooting time of 1 hour has elapsed. Depending on the volume and data writing speed of the memory card, recording will stop after 1 hour of continuous recording even if the recorded data volume has not reached 1GB.
