Taking Pictures
If you keep the shutter release button pressed for more than one second,
recording will continue as long as you keep the button pressed. Shooting stops
when you take your finger off the shutter release button.
This camera starts/stops movie recording simply by pressing the Movie button,
without selecting C (Movie) from the Capture Mode Palette. This is useful when
you want to start recording quickly.

Press the Movie button.
Recording starts. You can continue recording until the recorded movie time
reaches 25 minutes.
• The focus mode can be changed before recording starts.
• When the focus mode is set to \(Manual Focus), you can adjust the
focus before recording starts and during recording.
• When the shooting mode is set to C (Movie), Face Detection is
automatically set to on. You can select Smile Capture or Face Detection Off
before starting recording a movie (p.89). When the Smile Capture function
is activated, movie recording starts automatically when the camera
recognizes the subject’s smile. However, the Smile Capture function may
not work depending on the condition of the recognized faces, and movie
recording may not start automatically. If this happens, press the shutter
release button to start movie recording.
•
You can record a movie using a remote control unit (optional) (p.70)
.
• When you use the SD Memory Card, use SD Speed Class 4 or higher
cards.
• Movies recorded in C mode capture a different area than still pictures.
