How much movie recording time does the SP-550UZ have?
The amount of movie recording time depends on the Image Quality mode used to shoot the movies and the length of each shot. The two settings that comprise an Image Quality mode are image size and frame rate. Image size is the resolution of each frame in the movie and is measured in pixels. Frame rate is the number of movie frames that are stored per second of recording time. The SHQ quality mode uses the largest image size and fastest frame rate, so it produces the highest-quality movie files; however, the files will be larger than recordings of equal duration that are shot using other quality modes. Therefore, SHQ mode will exhaust storage capacity more quickly. In movie mode, the SP-550UZ can, in most cases, record continuously up to approximately the capacity of the storage medium. When using Standard or Type M xD-Picture Card media, the maximum recording time per movie in the SHQ quality mode is 15 seconds.
