When recording a video, smoother motion and better image clarity can be achieved by a higher pixel rate (resolution) and a faster frame rate. However, the file size will also be proportionately larger, requiring longer times to edit and store (page 47). It is recommended that you adjust the settings to those suitable for the desired purpose. Note that this menu is also used for recording audio only files.
