You can shoot a number of consecutive still
images (GIF animation). The GIF format
has a small file size, making it convenient
for creating home pages or attaching images
to e-mail.
• Due to the limitations of the GIF format, the
number of colors for Clip Motion images is
reduced to 256 colors or less. Therefore, the
image quality may deteriorate for some images.
NORMAL (160×120)
Clip Motion of up to 10 frames can be
recorded. This is suitable for use on home
pages, etc.
MOBILE (120×108)
Clip Motion of up to two frames can be
recorded. This is suitable for use with
portable data terminals.
