Konica Minolta dimage z5 User Manual

Movies can be recorded at three size and quality combinations:
640x480 Fine, 640x480 Standard, and 320x240 Standard. Image
size and quality are the same as those for still images: the larger
the image size and higher the quality, the larger the file size.
Quality is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).

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 section 1 of the movie
menu (p. 44).

If quality or the frame rate is changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of sec-
onds that can be recorded with 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 can be compressed further than others.

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. The movie mode is set in section 1 of the movie menu (p. 44).

The performance of the memory card may prematurely end the recording of a movie clip. Test the
card before important events. Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility infor-
