SHOOTING A MOVIE
3. With the camera pointed at the subject, press
the shutter button.
This will shoot a Short Movie that for about four seconds,
and then stop shooting automatically. The total length of the
Short Movie will be eight seconds (four seconds before the
shutter button was pressed plus four seconds after it was
pressed). To stop movie recording, press the shutter button
again.
IMPORTANT!
• Movie data is continually recorded and stored in a buffer
before you press the shutter button. Keep the camera
pointed at the subject. Then at the right moment, press the
shutter button. When you press the shutter button, the
remaining recording time of part two of the Short Movie
counts down on the monitor screen.
Past Movie is similar to a normal movie, except that it captures
about five seconds of whatever happened in front of the lens
before the shutter button was pressed to start shooting. Past
Movie is a great way to make sure that you never just miss that
special moment because you press the shutter button too late.
