Image size (movie)

Movies can be recorded at four sizes: 800x600, 640x480, 320x240, and 160x120. The larger the image size, the higher the image quality and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in the movie menu (p. 44).

Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. 800x600 size images 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 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.

The writing speed of the memory card may prematurely end the recording of a movie clip, especially with 800 X 600 images or 640 X 480 images at 30 fps. Test the card before important events. Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
