The movie menu offers the options shown below. Increasing the image size and bitrate will increase the image quality, but file size will also increase.
Option | Description | |
xHD 720p (1280 × 720) | Movies with an aspect ratio of 16:9 are recorded. | |
(default setting) | • Movie bitrate: 9.0 Mbps | |
yVGA (640 × 480) | Movies with an aspect ratio of 4:3 are recorded. | |
• Movie bitrate: 3.0 Mbps | ||
| ||
zQVGA (320 × 240) | Movies with an aspect ratio of 4:3 are recorded. | |
• Movie bitrate: 640 kbps | ||
| ||
|

• The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bitrate (VBR) system has been adopted, the movie recording rate varies automatically according to the subject so that more data is recorded per second for movies containing frequently moving subjects, thus increasing movie file size.
• The frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second in any options.
