SHOOTING A MOVIE
• You can perform digital zoom while shooting a movie by
pressing [ ]. Optical zoom is not available while shooting a
movie. To use optical zoom for a movie, use [ ] to zoom as
required first and then press [ ] to start recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more
pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor.
Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these
conditions.
• When the subject is outside the camera’s focus range,
focusing is not possible and the image will be out of focus.
• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while
shooting a movie (pages 113, 114).
With Short Movie, pressing [ ] will shoot a movie that starts a
few seconds before [ ] is pressed (first part) and ends a few
seconds after it is pressed (second part). You can specify how
long (in seconds) you want the first part and the second part of
the Short Movie to be.
• Since a few seconds of action before [ ] is pressed are
recorded, Short Movie is a good way to make sure you don’t
miss the action of kids or other active subjects.
• You can also use MOTION PRINT (page 171) to extract still
images of Short Movie scenes.
