Using Prerecord Movie

With this feature, the camera prerecords up to four seconds of whatever is happening in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] (Movie) saves the prerecorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time recording continues until you stop it.
