.To shoot a Prerecord Movie

1.After using the above procedure to set up the camera for Prerecord Movie, point the camera at the subject.

2.When you are ready to record, press [0] (Movie).

This will save the approximately five seconds of action that was prerecorded in the buffer before you pressed [0] (Movie) (two seconds if you are using high speed movie) and start real-time recording.

3.Press [0] (Movie) again to stop recording.

•To stop Prerecord (Movie) recording and return to snapshot shooting, select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 70), or change the recording mode to R (Auto) or Ÿ (Premium Auto PRO) (page 28).

•When shooting with the high speed movie “HS30-120” and “HS30-240” setting, you cannot change the speed (fps) setting while the camera is pre-recording to the buffer in step 1 of the above procedure. You can change the speed (fps) setting after you press [0] (Movie) to start real-time recording.

NOTE

•While the camera is set up for shooting with Prerecord Movie, pressing the shutter button will not shoot a snapshot unless movie recording is in progress. With high- definition (FHD) and standard (STD) movie, you can shoot still images while real- time movie recording is in progress.

•When shooting with Prerecord Movie in combination with high speed movie, pressing the [4] or [6] key will not change the EV shift or white balance setting, even if “EV Shift” or “White Balance” is assigned for the “L/R Key” function. To change the EV shift or white balance setting in this case, use the control panel.
