Recording Mode:
The camera records images at set exposure time intervals, and combines parts with
changes in bright light to save the result as one picture.
A combined image is displayed at each exposure time interval, so you can keep recording
while checking results.
With its ability to take pictures with reduced overall brightness, this function is useful for
capturing the light trails of stars and fireworks with bright night scenery in the background.
