Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

For Video Clips:
To start recording video, press the Video

button and

then release it. A 10-second countdown appears on the

Image Display. The Self-Timer/Focus Assist light on the

front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the

camera starts recording the video.
To stop recording the video clip, press the Video

button again; otherwise, the video will continue recording

until the camera runs out of memory.
The video

icon remains in the Image Display for a

few seconds after recording stops.

NOTE: With either the Self-Timer or the Self-Timer - 2 Shots

setting, only one video clip is recorded after the 10-

second countdown.

The Self-Timer setting resets to the default Normal setting

after the picture is taken.
TIP: If you are taking still images in low light, you can use

the self-timer setting to avoid blurry images caused by

camera shake. Place the camera on a steady surface or a

tripod, frame your picture, then press the Shutter button

all the way down and remove your hands from the

camera. The camera will wait 10 seconds before taking

the image, eliminating any possibility of you shaking the

camera when you press the Shutter button.
