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.

immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [

in digest movies.

are changed.

the setting in advance. Choose MENU (
