Instruction manual
If image size or frame rate is changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of seconds
that can be recorded at that setting on the installed memory card. The total time that can be stored
on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the recording rate. The actual file size is
determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.
The writing speed of the memory card may prematurely end the recording of a movie clip. Test the
card before important events. Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility

Image size and frame rate
Movies can be recorded at three sizes: 800x600, 640x480, and 320x240. The larger the image size,
the higher the image quality and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in the movie menu.
Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps; 800x600 movies can only be recorded
at 15 fps. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the moving image and the larger the file sizes.
Frame rate is set in the movie menu.
