Viewing Time-Lapse Movies

When a movie is recorded using the Time-lapse movie option, two files are created: the original and a second, smaller copy for playback on the camera. The original is recorded at the image quality and size settings in effect when shooting begins, while the copy has an image quality of NORMAL and a frame size of 320 × 240 pixels. On the memory card, the copy will have a file number one greater than the original; if the original had the file name “MSCN0001.MOV,” the copy would be named “DSCN0002.MOV.” Originals can only be played back on a computer; when viewed on the camera, they are displayed as still pictures showing the movie’s first frame.
