Image size (movie)

Movies can be recorded at two sizes: 640x480 and 320x240. The larger the image size, the higher the image quality and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).

Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. 640x480 size image can only be recorded at 15fps. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the moving image and the larger the file sizes. Frame rate is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).

Movie file sizes

If image size or frame rate is changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of seconds that can be recorded. The total time that can be recorded is determined by the available memory and the recording rate. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.

Movie mode

The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard produces a normal movie clip. Night Movie uses high camera sensitivity to record under low light levels; camera sensitivity will automatically increase in low light. Image quality can be lower with Night Movies because of the higher sensitivity. The movie mode is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).
