64 A DVANCED RECORDING
Image size (movie)
Movies can be recorded at two sizes: 640x480 and 320x240. The
larger the image size, the higher the image quality and the larger
the file sizes. Image size is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p.
44).
Frame rate
Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. 640x480 size image can only be
recorded at 15fps. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the moving image and the larger the file
sizes. Frame rate is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).
Movie file sizes
If image size or frame rate is changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of sec-
onds that can be recorded. The total time that can be recorded is determined by the available mem-
ory and the recording rate. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be
compressed further than others.

Movie mode
The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard produces a normal movie
clip. Night Movie uses high camera sensitivity to record under low light levels; camera sensitivity
will automatically increase in low light. Image quality can be lower with Night Movies because of the
higher sensitivity. The movie mode is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).
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 infor-
