Approx. 4 sec.

If the camera runs out of battery power or memory card space,
shooting stops and a movie created from the images up to that point
is saved.

Maximum available shooting duration varies depending on free
space on the memory card.

Optical zoom is set to maximum wide angle and cannot be adjusted.

There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes
the images.

To save each shot collected before the movie is created, choose MENU ►
[

4] tab ► [Save Stills] ► [On]. Note that these individual images are

managed as a single group, and during playback, only the first image is
displayed. To indicate that the image is part of a group, [

] is displayed

in the upper left of the screen. If you erase a grouped image (

=

118

), all

images in the group are also erased. Be careful when erasing images.

Set [Night Display] to [On] (

=

92

) in this mode.

Switch to manual focus mode (

=

80

) to more accurately specify the focal

position before shooting.

This mode can correct white balance and match the effect of using a
commercially available color-compensating filter (

=

77

).
