Use Flashback

This feature is very useful when you wish to capture a short activity, but are not sure when it will begin.

This feature captures video for a user- selected period of time (5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds). Select the Flashback menu icon and press the Menu button to activate recording. You can record for as long as you like, but you will only save a recording for the period of time you have selected.

For example, if you chose 10 seconds, only the last ten seconds of the recording will remain in memory and be saved—the rest of the recording is discarded.

To select a period of time, go to the Flashback Period submenu (located in the Settings menu; see FLASHBACK PERIOD, page 23). The camera remembers the last setting you choose in this menu.

For example, you may want to record a baseball pitcher throwing a pitch:

1.Select the Settings menu and press the Menu button.

2.Select the Flashback Period submenu and press the Menu button.

Select 10 seconds and press the Menu button.

3.Select Back. Press the Menu button.

4.Select Flashback and press the Menu button.

5.Press the Shutter button to begin recording while the pitcher prepares. After the pitcher throws the ball, click on the Shutter button again to turn off recording. “Saving” displays on the LCD screen.” You’ll have saved only the last ten seconds of the pitcher’s activity.

6.Select Playback mode to review your movie. If you wish to perform another flashback recording, just press the Shutter button to begin recording again. Choose another setting from
