Shoot.
● Follow step 4 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)”
(= 32) to shoot a still image.
● 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 (= 139).
● 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 16 minutes and
40 seconds.
- The digest movie is protected (= 96).
- Daylight saving time (= 20) or time zone (= 140) settings
are changed.
- A new folder is created (= 144).
● 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 (= 29) > [
] tab >
[Digest Type] > [No Stills].
● Individual chapters can be edited (= 107).
3) Finish recording.
● Press the movie button again to stop
recording. The camera beeps twice as
recording stops.
● Recording will stop automatically when
the memory card becomes full.
● The flash firing during shots indicates that the camera has
automatically attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main
subject and background (Multi-area White Balance).

The camera records 2 – 4-second clips of scenes before each shot,
which are later combined in a digest movie.
Clips recorded in this mode may be included in Story Highlights albums
(= 108).

seconds before shooting still images.
