The Optio S1 has a “Movie SR” function to reduce camera shake during
movie recording (p.112), and it enables you to record movies in
1280×720 pixel (16:9) HDTV format (*) (p.111).
* When connecting to and playing back images on AV equipment, the
recorded data is output at normal screen resolution. To view movies in
HDTV, transfer the data to a computer and play it back on the
computer.
The Optio S1 has a variety of
functions to let you enjoy playing
back and editing images without
having to connect the camera to
your computer. The camera is all
you need to take and edit still
pictures and movies (p.136).
