Image Size And Frame Rate; Movie Mode - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 Instruction Manual

IMAGE SIZE AND FRAME RATE

Movies can be recorded at two sizes: 544x408 and 320x240. The larger the image size,
the higher the image quality and the larger the file sizes. Image size is set in the movie
menu.
Movies can be recorded at two frame rates: 15 fps and 30 fps. The higher the frame rate,
the smoother the moving image and the larger the file sizes. Frame rate is set in the
movie menu. The computer environment may affect the playback of 544x408 30fps
movies.
If image size or frame rate is
changed, the frame counter displays
the approximate number of seconds
that can be recorded at that setting on
the installed memory card. The total
time that can be stored on a memory
card is determined by the size of the
card and the recording rate. The
actual file size is determined by the
scene; some subjects
compressed further than others.

MOVIE MODE

The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Three options are available
on the movie menu:
Standard movie - to record a color movie under normal lighting conditions.
Night Movie - to record under low light levels. Night Movies are black and white. While
Night Movies can be recorded under normal conditions, bright outdoor lighting may be
beyond the exposure control range.
Auto select - automatically switch between standard and Night Movie modes depending
on the lighting conditions. When recording, the mode is fixed.
