Shooting multiple
frames
– Clip Motion
Mode selector:
You can shoot a number of still images
consecutively (GIF animation). Because the
file size is small, these images are ideal for
use on a home page, or for attaching to an e-
mail message.
• Clip Motion images are restricted to color
levels of 256 colors and below. This is a
characteristic of GIF format recording. For this
reason, the image quality of some images may
deteriorate.
Normal (160×120)
The maximum number of frames you can
shoot in one Clip Motion shot is 10. This is
suitable for use on a home page.
Mobile (120×108)
Two frames is the maximum number that
can be shot in Clip Motion in this mode.
This is suitable for use with portable data
terminals.
• Mobile mode has strict file size limits, so
picture quality falls accordingly.
