message instructing how to end
the video appear on the Image Display. (See Using Live

until the camera runs out of memory.
NOTE If you have set the camera to Self-Timer or Self-Timer -
2 Shots (see Using the Self-Timer Settings on page 40),
the camera will start recording 10 seconds after you press
the Video button. However, with the Self-Timer - 2 Shots

called Instant Review. You can delete the video clip during
Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OK button.
You can use Playback on the camera to review the video clips
you have recorded. See Using Playback on page 53.
