Using the LCD Monitor to Shoot Moving Pictures

<Precautions when Recording>

¶Wait until the caution LED has stopped flashing before taking your next photograph .

¶When the camera is in the “” mode, setting the auto Power- Save function allows the camera to automatically enter the auto power-off (“power-save”) mode if left inactive for a set period of time. From this “sleep” state, the camera can be restored to its normal shooting condition by depressing the shutter button halfway, or by pressing one of the other function buttons. (For details, see page 79).

¶Never open the memory card door or remove a memory card while the card access LED is flashing, since the memory card may be damaged and data lost.

<Shutter Release Button Half-way Down>

When the shutter release button is pressed down lightly, it will stop part way in its travel. In this semi- depressed position, the camera automatically sets focus and exposure. When the shutter release button is pressed further down, the shutter is released and the image is recorded.

Not pressed

Half-pressed

Fully depressed

<Other Uses>

The camera can be connected to a television monitor to allow use of the screen as a large viewfinder.

When connected to a television monitor, the camera’s own built-in LCD monitor turns off, and the subject is displayed instead on the television screen.

¶The camera’s built-in LCD monitor turns off whenever a video cable is connected to the camera.

¶Use the supplied video cable to connect the camera to a television.

This function allows you to record up to 15 seconds of simple movie images. The monitor display during movie recording is shown below:

1Press the “MENU” button.

2Select [ ], then press the “” button to set for movie

recording [].

3Press the shutter release button to begin recording; fifteen seconds later the recording will end automatically.

This number indicates the remaining number of movies that

can be recorded

(each movie represents a maximum of 15 seconds of recording time).

¶To stop recording before the 15 seconds have elapsed, press the shutter release button again.

<NOTE>

¶The optical zoom can be used, but the digital zoom (page 55) does not function during movie recording.

¶To view movies on a computer, installation of QuickTime 4.1 or later version is required.

pmn specifications

The Toshiba PMN (Piezoceramic Material) is a highly advanced piezoelectric material designed for various applications across several fields, including consumer electronics, healthcare, and industrial automation.
