Using Short Movie

Short Movie shoots a movie that starts four seconds before the shutter button is pressed and ends four seconds after it is pressed.

•Since four seconds of action before the shutter button is pressed are recorded, Short Movie is a good way to make sure you don’t miss the action of kids or other active subjects.

•You can also use MOTION PRINT (page 192) to extract still images of Short Movie scenes.
