Recorded Pixels and Quality Level for Movies
Choose the number of recorded pixels and quality level best suited to your purpose.
The number of recorded pixels indicates the image resolution. Larger numbers produce clearer movie images, but result in larger filesizes. The frame rate indicates the number of images that are displayed per second. Higher numbers produce smoother motion, but also result in larger filesizes.
Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and quality level for movies on the [ARec. Mode] menu.
