The following movie modes are available.
The recording time will vary according to the capacity of the memory
card you use (p. 200).
[] Standard
You can select the recording pixels and record until the memory card
is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the
recommended SDC-512MSH). The digital zoom can be used while
shooting in this mode. (p. 60)

this mode is convenient for sending movies as e-mail attachments or
when the memory card capacity is low.
