Sony P50 Manual

The number of Clip Motion frames
that you can record on a “Memory
Stick” (4 MB)

∗

When recording 10 frames per Clip
Motion file

Notes

• You cannot change the image size partway

through a Clip Motion recording.

• Reading and writing data take more time

than normal image recording.

• Due to the limitations of the GIF format,

the number of colors for Clip Motion
images is reduced to 256 colors or less.
Therefore, the picture quality may
deteriorate for some images.

• The file size is reduced in MOBILE mode,

so the picture quality deteriorates.

• GIF files not created on this camera may

not be displayed correctly.

• All the frame images are immediately

recorded on the “Memory Stick” if the
mode dial is switched or the power is
turned off.
