— Short Movie
Each press of the shutter button records a short movie
that starts before the button is pressed and ends after
the button is pressed (page 126).
— Past Movie
This function uses a 5-second buffer that is continually
updated. Pressing the shutter button starts recording
from five seconds prior to the point the button is
pressed. Use this function when you want to make
sure you do not miss fast-moving action (page 129).

Specifying Movie Image Quality
The image quality setting determines how much the
camera compresses movie images before storing them.
Image quality is expressed as image size in pixels. A
“pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up an image.
More pixels (a larger image size) provide finer detail and
higher image quality when a movie is played back.
Before recording a movie, select the image quality setting
that suits your needs.
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU].
2. Use [
̇] and [̈] to select the “Quality” tab.
3. Use [
̆] and [̄] to select “
Quality” , and
then press [

4. Use [
̆] and [̄] to select the setting you
want, and then press [SET].
