Available Movie Quality Options
The options available for movie quality vary with the movie mode (P. 67) and the
options selected for [Video Frame Rate] and [Video Bit Rate] in the video menu
(P. 125).
• When shooting movies that will be viewed on a television, choose a frame rate that
matches the video standard used in the device, as otherwise the movie may not play back
smoothly. Video standards vary by country or region: some use NTSC, others PAL.
- When shooting for display on NTSC devices, choose 60p (30p)
- When shooting for display on PAL devices, choose 50p (25p)
The following options are available when the mode dial is rotated to a position
other than n:
