Still images are compressed and recorded in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group).
Movies are recorded in Motion JPEG. You can select the image quality of still images, and
the image size of still images and movies.
The number of still images and maximum recording time of movies that can be recorded
on a memory card vary according to the recording condition. The estimated figures are as
follows:
Number of still images

Image Size

160 x 120

Depending on the number of images on the memory card, you may not be able
to download images to a computer (Windows: more than 1800 images;
Macintosh: more than 1000 images). In such case, use a card reader.
Connection to a PictBridge compatible printer will not work when the memory
card contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend
to keep the number of images on the memory card less than 100.
Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer
using a USB cable, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min.
