Using Basic modes

Using the Movie mode

In Movie mode, you can customize settings to record HD videos (1280X720) of up to 20 minutes in length. The camera saves recorded videos as MP4 (H.264) files.

This mode is available only when you insert a memory card into the camera.

H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is a high-compression video format established by the international standards organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T.

Some memory cards may not support high definition recording. If your card does not, set a lower resolution.

Memory cards with slow writing speeds will not support high-resolution videos. To record high-resolution videos, use memory cards with faster write speeds.

If you use the zoom function when recording a video, the camera may record the noise of the zoom operating. To decrease zoom noise, use the Sound Alive function. (p. 75)
