Recorded Pixels And Frame Rate Of Movies - Pentax Optio WP Operating Manual

Recorded Pixels and Frame Rate of Movies

Choose the recorded pixels and frame rate according to how you intend
to use the movies you have taken.
The number of recorded pixels indicates the resolution of the image. The
higher the number of recorded pixels, the clearer the image, but the
bigger the file size.
The frame rate indicates the number of frames per second. The more
frames per second, the better the quality of the movie, but the bigger the
file size.
Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and frame rate in
[Movie] on the [A Rec. Mode] menu.
