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. 29).

• 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 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. 58, 59).

As with the Standard mode, 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).

•Maximum Size: 1 GB/movie*

•The recording time will differ according to the memory card used (p. 124). * Even if the size of the movie data has not reached 1 GB, recording may

stop when a shooting time of 1 hour has elapsed.
