Video Frame Rate

Select the frame rate for movie recording (“Available movie quality options”).

  • When shooting movies that will be viewed on a television, select a frame rate that matches the video standard used in the device, as the movie may not play back smoothly otherwise. Video standards vary by country or region: some use NTSC, others PAL.

    • When shooting for display on NTSC devices, select 60p (30p)
    • When shooting for display on PAL devices, select 50p (25p)
Video Bit Rate Select the compression rate for movie recording (“Available movie quality options”).
  • Operation sounds of the lens and camera may be recorded when recording a movie. To prevent these from being recorded, reduce the operation sounds by minimizing the button operations of the camera.
  • Sound is not recorded with high-speed movies or movies shot with g (Diorama) selected for picture mode.
  • When Movie Sound Recording is set to [Off], V is displayed.
