Image size not only affects the resolution of the movie image, but also changes the
maximum length of the movie clip. The recording rate for a 320 X 240 size movie is
approximately 340 KB/sec, and approximately 85 KB/sec for a 160 X 120 movie.
Recording time is only limited by the capacity of the memory card. A 16 MB memory card
can contain approximately 41 seconds of digital video recorded at 320 X 240 or 150
seconds at 160 X 120.
The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard produces a normal
movie clip. Night Movie uses high camera sensitivity to record under low light levels;
camera sensitivity will automatically increase in low light. Image quality can be lower with
Night Movies because of the higher sensitivity.
