Internet Mode

The Internet Mode allows you to record videos with predefined video settings for easy upload to the Internet website.

The Internet supports two file upload standards:

•Single File Uploader. The maximum video file size is up to 100 MB.

•Internet Uploader. The maximum video file size is up to 1 GB.

Most uploaded video length ranges within 5 minutes.

Therefore when you record using the YouTube mode, the following standards are followed:

•Recorded videos are set to Internet standard resolution of 640 X 480.

•Recording automatically stops when the file reaches 100 MB.

•To record a YouTube video, select from the Movie size function. Available recording time for a YouTube video is up to 10 minutes.

Using the Stabilizer Feature

The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera’s ability to auto focus.

How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
