Shooting multiple frames

–CLIP MOTION Mode dial:

You can shoot a number of still images consecutively (GIF animation). Because the file size is small, these images are ideal for use on a home page, or for attaching to an e- mail message.

•Clip Motion images are restricted to color levels of 256 colors and below. This is a characteristic of GIF format recording. For this reason, the image quality of some images may deteriorate.

NORMAL (160× 120)

The maximum number of frames you can shoot in one Clip Motion shot is ten. This is the best choice for use on a home page.

MOBILE (120× 108)

Two frames is the maximum number that can be shot in Clip Motion in this mode.

•MOBILE mode has strict file size limits, so picture quality falls accordingly.

•For the number of images you can record using Clip Motion, see page 91.
