Using Prerecord Movie (Prerecord (Movie))

With Prerecord Movie, the camera continually updates a buffer that stores up to five seconds of movie images. This lets you record a move that contains what happened five seconds before you started recording, followed by real-time recording. Pressing [0] (Movie) saves the pre-recorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time recording continues until you stop it. Prerecord Movie can be used when shooting a standard (STD) movie, a high-definition (FHD) movie, or a high speed (HS) movie.

•When using Prerecord Movie in combination with high speed movie, the buffer will store two seconds of pre-recording instead of the usual five.
