SHOOTING A MOVIE Movie Image Quality Before shooting a movie, you should specify a movie image quality setting. Movie image quality is a standard that determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of a movie during playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HQ) setting will result in better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time you can shoot. • Audio is stereo, except when "LP" image quality is selected, when it is monaural. • Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 10 minutes of recording.
