3Taking Video Snapshots

You can easily create a short movie with the video snapshot function. A video snapshot is a short movie clip lasting 2 sec., 4 sec., or 8 sec. A collection of video snapshots is called a video snapshot album and can be saved to the card as a single movie file. By changing the scene or angle in each video snapshot, you can create dynamic short movies. A video snapshot album can also be played together with background music (p.156, 213).
