Shooting multiple
frames

– CLIP MOTION

Mode dial:

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 ten. This is
the best choice 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.

MOBILE mode has strict file size limits, so
picture quality falls accordingly.

For the number of images you can record using
Clip Motion, see page 91.
