Specifying Movie Image Quality (Quality (Movie))

Procedure

[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * » Quality (Movie)

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