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 with the installed memory card. The total time that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the recording rate. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.
