Shoot.
z Follow step 4 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)”
(
=
33) to shoot a still image.
z The camera records both a still image
and movie clip. The clip, which ends with
the still image and a shutter sound, forms
a single chapter in the digest movie.
● Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [ ] mode, because
digest movies are recorded for each shot.
● A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image
immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [
] mode, or
operating the camera in other ways.
● Sounds and vibrations from operating the camera will be recorded
in digest movies.
● Digest movie image quality is automatically set to [ ] for
NTSC or [
] for PAL and cannot be changed (
=
160).
● Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway
or trigger the self-timer (
=
164).
● Digest movies are saved as separate movie les in the following
cases even if they were recorded on the same day in [
] mode.
- The digest movie le size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the
total recording time reaches approximately 16 minutes and 40
seconds.
- The digest movie is protected (
=
113).
- Daylight saving time (
=
20) or time zone (
=
162) settings
are changed.
- A new folder is created (
=
159).
● Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modied or erased.
● If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust
the setting in advance. Choose MENU (
=
29) ► [ 7] tab ►
[Digest Type] ► [No Stills].
● Individual chapters can be edited (
=
126).
3) Finish recording.
z Press the movie button again to stop
recording. The camera beeps twice as
recording stops.
z Recording will stop automatically when
the memory card becomes full.
● The ash ring during shots indicates that the camera has
automatically attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main
subject and background (Multi-area White Balance).
