Recording Movies
With this feature, the camera pre-records up to five seconds of whatever is happening
in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] saves the
prerecorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time
recording continues until you stop it.
• When using Prerecord Movie in combination with High-speed Movie, the buffer will
store two seconds of pre-recording instead of the usual five.
