Notes
•Reading and writing data takes more time than normal image recording.
•Due to the limitations of the GIF format, the number of colors for Clip Motion images is reduced to 256 colors or less. Therefore, the picture quality may deteriorate for some images.
•The file size is reduced in MOBILE mode, so the picture quality deteriorates.
•GIF files not created on this camera may not be displayed correctly.
