Movie Image Quality

Your camera lets you select from among three image quality settings (HQ, Normal, LP) for movies. For best camera performance, use the “HQ” (High Quality) setting for movie recording.

Movie quality is a standard that determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of the image during playback. Reducing image quality let’s you shoot longer, so you can switch to “Normal” or “LP” conserve remaining memory capacity if you start to run low.

For details, see pages 84 and 246.
