Notes on playing back AVI-format movie files on a computer• Before playing back a video file on your computer, copy and save the video file from themedia (xD-Picture Card, SmartMedia or Microdrive) to your computer’s hard disk. Then playback the saved file.• Video files contain large amounts of data. Depending on the performance of your computer,the video may not play back smoothly because your computer cannot process the imagesquickly enough. (The video can still be played back normally on the camera’s LCD monitoror on a TV screen connected to the camera.)• If video files do not play back smoothly, you may be able to get better results by using thebatch format conversion feature in FinePixViewer to convert the video files.● Guide to computer performanceImage sizeFrame rateMacintosh640 × 480 pixels 320 × 240 pixels 160 × 120 pixels30 fps 15 fps 30 fps 15 fps 10 fps 10 fps867 MHzG4or better366 MHzG3or better233 MHz G3 or better8
