Shooting Features
You can create a short movie (e1080/30p or
S1080/25p) that is up to 30 seconds long
by recording and automatically combining
multiple movie clips that are several seconds
long.
1 Press the d (menu) button and
configure the settings for
recording movies.
• Number of shots: Set the number of movie
clips that the camera records and the
recording time for each movie clip. By
default, the camera records 15 movie clips
that are 2 seconds each to create a 30-
second short movie.
• Special effects: Apply various effects to movies when shooting (A33).
Effects can be changed for each movie clip.

button to exit the menu.

button to record a movie clip.

when the time specified in step 1 elapses.
