NOTES ON MOVIE RECORDING
The recording mode option switches between
recording movie clips or audio.
Image size not only affects the resolution of the
movie image, but also changes the maximum
length of the movie clip. The recording rate for a
320 X 240 size movie is approximately 340
KB/sec, and approximately 85 KB/sec for a 160 X
120 movie. Recording time is only limited by the
capacity of the memory card. A 16 MB memory
card can contain approximately 41 seconds of
digital video recorded at 320 X 240 or 150
seconds at 160 X 120.
For more on white balance, see page 43. See
page 49 for more on the color mode. Any changes
to these two options will also affect the recording
mode.
