Notes

You cannot change the image size partway through a Clip Motion recording.

Reading and writing data take 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.

All the frame images are immediately recorded on the “Memory Stick” if the mode dial is switched or the power is turned off.

1 Set the mode dial to , S, A, M, SCN or .

The focus is fixed and the 9 (manual focus) indicator appears.

You can select from 15 focus settings (unit: m) including the 9 position:

0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0, 15.0 and (infinity)

Notes

Focal point information may not completely show the correct distance. Use the information as a guide.

The focus preset cannot be set when attaching a conversion lens.

Focusing error increases if the lens is pointed up or down.

If you shoot a subject within 0.2 m

(7 7/8 inches) while the zoom is set to the T side, you cannot get a clear focus. In such cases, the focal point information flashes. Press the zoom W button until the indicator stops flashing.
