•Specifications: Motion JPEG (➝p.120), Without sound

•Quality selection method: $(320 × 240 pixels)

•Frame rate (➝p.120): 10 frames per second (fixed)

•The brightness and color of the LCD monitor shown during movie recording may differ from those shown before recording begins.

•Pressing the shutter button down fully fixes the focus, however the exposure and white balance are adjusted to the scene being shot.

•If recording is stopped immediately after it begins, 1 second of the movie is recorded onto the xD-Picture Card or internal memory.

•Because a movie is recorded onto the xD-Picture Card or internal memory as it is saved, it cannot be recorded correctly if the camera suddenly loses power (if the batteries run out or the AC power adapter is disconnected).

•A movie file taken by FinePix A400 / Fine Pix A500 may not be playable on other cameras.
