Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode

You can make a short movie of the day just by shooting still images. The

camera records 2 – 4-second clips of scenes before each shot, which are

The camera records both a still image

and movie clip. The clip, which ends with

the still image and a shutter sound, forms

a single chapter in the digest movie.

Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [

] mode, because

digest movies are recorded for each shot.

A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image

immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [ ] mode, or

operating the camera in other ways.

Sounds and vibrations from operating the camera will be recorded

in digest movies.

Digest movie quality is [

] and cannot be changed.

Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway or trigger

the self-timer (

).

Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if

they were recorded on the same day in [ ] mode.

-

The digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the total recording

time reaches approximately 29 minutes and 59 seconds.

-

The digest movie is protected (

=

73

).

-

Daylight saving time (

=

12

) or time zone (

=

115

) settings are changed.

-

A new folder is created (

=

118

).

Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased.

If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust the setting in

advance. Choose MENU (

=

21

) ► [

4] tab ► [Digest Type] ► [No Stills].

Individual chapters can be edited (

=
