SHOOTING A MOVIE
Short Movie shoots a movie that starts four seconds before the
shutter button is pressed and ends four seconds after it is
pressed.
• Since four seconds of action before the shutter button is
pressed are recorded, Short Movie is a good way to make
sure you don’t miss the action of kids or other active subjects.
• You can also use MOTION PRINT (page 192) to extract still
images of Short Movie scenes.
1. In a REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [
S] and [T] to select the top option in the
operation panel (Recording mode).
3. Use [ W] and [X] to select “ (Movie)” or “
(MOVIE BEST SHOT)”, and then press [SET].
This causes “ ” or “ ” to appear on the monitor
screen.
4. Press [BS].
5. Use [ S], [T], [W], and [X] to select the “Short
Movie” scene and then press [SET].
Pressing the shutter button at this point will shoot a Short
Movie with a 4-second first part and a 4-second second
part.
6. With the camera pointed at the subject, press
the shutter button.
This will shoot a Short Movie that for about four seconds,
and then stop shooting automatically. The total length of the

again.
