Enter shooting mode Mtap F MD Movie options

Select the desired movie option to record. Larger image sizes and faster movie bitrates mean greater image quality and larger movie file sizes.

The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. Variable bitrate (VBR) encoding is used to automatically adjust the bitrate depending on the subject being recorded. When recording movies of a subject with large amounts of motion, the file size increases.

See “Movie Options and Maximum Movie Length” (A98) for information about maximum movie length.

When recording normal speed movies, select one of the normal speed movie options

(E83), and when recording HS (high speed) movies, select one of the HS movie options (E84).
