The more pixels there are, the clearer the details and the bigger the file
size. 24fps will give smoother movies than 15fps, but file size will
increase.
The default setting is F (1280×720, 15fps).
• The flash does not discharge in C (Movie) mode.
• The focus mode can be changed before recording starts.

• When the shooting mode is set to C (Movie), Face Priority is
automatically set to on. You can select Face Priority Off by pressing
the I button before starting recording a movie (p.61).
