Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode

You can make a short movie of the day (digest movie). Just by shooting still images, the camera will automatically record a movie clip of the scene immediately before each shot.

1 Enter [] mode.

zzSet the mode dial to [].

XXThe flash automatically rises.

2Shoot.

zzFollow steps 3 – 4 in “Shooting (Smart

Auto)” (=47) to shoot a still image.

zzTo beautifully capture a digest movie, which is created by automatically recording about 2 – 4 seconds of the scene before each shot, aim the camera at the subject about four seconds before shooting a still image.

zzSome camera sounds will be muted. Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway, or trigger the self-timer (=149).

•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.

• Although the digest movie recorded on a particular day constitutes a single file, a single clip (chapter) is created with each shot.

•Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if they were recorded on the same day in [] mode.

-If the digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB or the total recording time reaches approximately 13 minutes and 20 seconds

-If the digest movie is protected (=111)

-If the daylight saving time (=16) or time zone (=150) settings have been changed

-If a new folder is created (=154)

Digest Movie Playback

You can play digest movies either by viewing still images shot in [] mode on the same day as the movies or by specifying the date of movies to play (=104).

Still Images/Movies

•If the camera is turned on while the <l> button is held down,

the camera will no longer sound. To activate sounds again, press the <n> button and choose [Mute] on the [3] tab, and then press the <q><r> buttons to choose [Off].

•The camera makes a slight noise if shaken, but this is the sound of the lens moving and does not indicate mechanical damage.
