Selecting the Number of Recorded Pixels and Frame Rate for Movies

You can choose the number of recorded pixels and frame rate settings for movies.

The more pixels there are, the clearer the details and the bigger the file size. The more frames per second, the better the quality of the movie, but the file size becomes larger.
