RECORDING MODE

MOVIE RECORDING

2This camera can record up to sixty seconds of digital video. The motion JPEG image is 320 X 240 pixels (QVGA). The effective

image area is 308 X 240 pixels; two thin lines will appear to the left and right of the image when played back.

Shooting digital video is simple. Set the main dial to movie recording (1). Frame the picture as described in the basic recording operation (p. 29). Press the shutter-release button once to start recording (2). The camera will continue to record until the recording time is used or the shutter-release button is pressed again. When recording, the data panel and monitor frame counters will countdown the remaining time.
