SHOOTING A MOVIE
Short Movie shoots a movie that starts four seconds before the
shutter button is pressed and ends four seconds after it is
pressed.
• Since four seconds of action before the shutter button 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 192) to extract still
images of Short Movie scenes.
1. In a REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [S] and [T] to select the top option in the
operation panel (Recording mode).
3. Use [W] and [X] to select “ (Movie)” or “
(MOVIE BEST SHOT)”, and then press [SET].

screen.
4. Press [BS].
5. Use [S], [T], [W], and [X] to select the “Short

part.

the shutter button.
This will shoot a Short Movie that for about four seconds,
