SHOOTING A MOVIE
Movie Image Quality
Before shooting a movie, you should specify a movie image
quality setting. Movie image quality is a standard that
determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of a movie during
playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HQ) setting will result
in better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time
you can shoot.
• Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording
stops automatically after 10 minutes of recording.
