RECORDING SIZE
The image quality of video clips and still images is determined by the
recording size (number of pixels). The larger the recording size, the better the
image quality will be, but the file size will also be larger. Select the recording
size that is correct for the intended purpose.
Movies
You can record video clips in either the HD mode (16:9 horizontal to vertical
aspect ratio) or the SD mode (4:3 aspect ratio). In addition, the higher the
frame rate number, the smoother playback will be. However, as with the
recording size, the file size is also proportionately larger, using up more
memory. This menu is also used when making audio recordings.
