Using Prerecord Movie (Prerecord (Movie))
With this feature, the camera pre-records up to five seconds of whatever is happening in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] saves the prerecorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time recording continues until you stop it.
•When using Prerecord Movie in combination with High-speed Movie, the buffer will store two seconds of pre-recording instead of the usual five.
