Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode

 Still Images   Movies

You can make a short movie of the day just by shooting still images. The camera records 2 – 4-second clips of scenes before each shot, which are later combined in a digest movie.

1 Enter [] mode.

●●Follow step 2 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)” (=33) and choose [].

2 Compose the shot.

●●Follow steps 3 – 4 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)” (=33) to compose the shot and focus.

●●For more impressive digest movies, aim the camera at subjects about four seconds before shooting still images.

3 Shoot.

●●Follow step 4 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)” (=33) to shoot a still image.

●●The camera records both a still image and movie clip. The clip, which ends with the still image and a shutter sound, forms a single chapter in the digest movie.

●● Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [] mode, because digest movies are recorded for each shot.

●● A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [] mode, or operating the camera in other ways.

●● Camera operating sounds will be recorded in digest movies.
