Recording a video
In Movie mode, you can record high-definition videos in 1280 X
720 HQ resolution. You can record up to 4 GB (approximately
11 minutes) at 1280 X 720 HQ resolution and the camera saves
recorded videos as MJPEG files.
•Some memory cards may not support high definition recording. If this
occurs, set a lower resolution. (p. 41)
•Memory cards with slow writing speeds will not support high
resolution videos and high-speed videos. To record high-resolution or
high-speed videos, use memory cards with faster writing speeds.
•If you have activated the Optical Image Stabilization, the camera may
record your video with the sounds the OIS makes when operating.
