Using Past Movie

Past Movie is similar to a normal movie, except that it captures about five seconds of whatever happened in front of the lens before the shutter button was pressed to start shooting. Past Movie is a great way to make sure that you never just miss that special moment because you press the shutter button too late.

1.In a REC mode, align the mode dial with “”, and then press [SET].

2.Use [S], [T], [W], and [X] to select the “Past Movie” scene and then press [SET].

This causes “ ” to appear on the monitor screen, which indicates that Past Movie is enabled.

4.Press the shutter button again to stop shooting.

Movie recording also will stop automatically if memory becomes full before you press the shutter button.

IMPORTANT!

When Past Movie is selected, the camera continually updates an internal buffer that holds about five seconds of movie images of what has happened in front of the camera’s lens. When you press the shutter button, your movie will start with the buffer’s current contents and continue from there. Be sure to keep the camera still and pointed in the direction of the subject for some time before you press the shutter button to start shooting.
