Movie Recording

You can record movies that are approximately 30 seconds long. Movies are recorded in 320 x 240-pixel AVI format. For details, see “Using the Record Menus” on page E-71.

There are two types of movie recording: PAST and NOR- MAL. PAST lets you capture images of events that occurred before you pressed the shutter button while NORMAL records what happens after you press the shutter button.

See “Using the Record Menus” on page E-71 for details on how to select the movie length.

•AVI files can be displayed and saved on a computer that is set up to support use of CompactFlash cards. For such a computer, install QuickTime 3, which comes bundled with the camera.
