FRAME RATE
Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. 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).
Frame rate | 15 fps |

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).

Movie file sizes
If the 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.
Frame rate | Approximate recording rate |
30 fps | 450KB/s |
15 fps | 230KB/s |
Approximate number of seconds that can be stored on a 16MB memory card.
30 fps | 29 seconds |
15 fps | 57 seconds |
The performance of the memory card may prematurely end the recording of a movie clip. Test the card before important events. Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility infor- mation:
