Shooting a Movie
The following four movie modes are available.
Standard
You can select the resolution and frame rate* yourself and
record until the SD card is full (when a super high-speed
SD card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH
model). The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this
mode.

Use this mode to record fast moving subjects, such as
in sports photography.
• Resolution:
(320 x 240)

Since the resolution is low, this mode is convenient for
sending movies as e-mail attachments or when the SD card
capacity is low.

My Colors
You can change image colors and then shoot (p. 102). As
with the Standard mode, you can also select the resolution
and frame rate* yourself and record until the SD card is full
(when a super high-speed SD card is used, such as the
recommended SDC-512MSH model).
• Resolution:
(640 x 480), (320 x 240)
• Frame Rate: (30 frames/sec.), (15 frames/sec.)

second. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the motion.
