SHOOTING A MOVIE

Movie Image Quality

Before shooting a movie, you should specify a movie image quality setting. Movie image quality is a standard that determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of a movie during playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HQ) setting will result in better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time you can shoot.
