The maximum size allowed for a single movie file is 4GB. Movie recording stops automatically when a file becomes 4GB.

Shooting with BEST SHOT

With BEST SHOT (page 53), you can select the sample scene that matches the type of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for example, will shot images with vivid green trees and grass.

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording

You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during movie recording (page 73). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.
