Using Story Creator to Create Video Stories

Story Creator is a helpful function that offers suggestions for typical scenes in a number of situations. With Story Creator, creating a video story with a structured yet interesting storyline is as easy as

selecting one of the story themes, such as [Travel], [Kids & Pets] or [Blog], and following the suggested 99 categories to record video. You can even select [Unrestricted] to group recordings as a single story without following the other storylines. During playback, select your story from the gallery to play back

the scenes you recorded as a single, compelling video story (A107).
