  1. [Image Quality/Size] [Frame Rate].

  1. Select the desired frame rate.
60i
For ordinary recording, this frame rate is recommended.

60p
You can record movies with a volume of data twice that of 60i with this setting, and this will allow you to enjoy clear images. When you play a movie recorded with this setting on a TV, the TV must be compatible with 60p movie playback and you have to set [HDMI Resolution] to [1080p/480p]. If the TV is not compatible with 60p movie playback, the movie will be output as a 60i movie.

Notes

  • The media that the recorded images can be saved on will depend on the recording mode that has been set during recording.
