If you set [SHTR EFFECT] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [ON]
and keep the [PHOTO SHOT] Button pressed, the Movie Camera will
continuously record still pictures in approximately 0.7 seconds intervals until
the button is released. (However, this does not operate when using
Progressive Photoshot.)
The screen blinks and, at the same time, a shutter clicking sound is
recorded.
ªDigital Still Picture
When the [STILL] Button

is pressed, images become still pictures. When
the button is pressed again, the Digital Still Picture Mode is cancelled.
We recommend that you press the [STILL] Button first at the position where
you wish to record the picture so as to enter the Digital Still Picture Mode
and then press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
While a still picture is on the screen, Multi-Picture mode cannot be used.
