Set the Mode dial to “9”. In this mode, you can
shoot up to 80 seconds of movie with sound at a
time (Motion JPEG format (➡P.95) at 320 ✕240
pixels and 10 frames per second).

Because the audio is recorded as you shoot, take
care not to cover the microphone with your finger
(➡P.8).

Depending on the space available on the

You cannot switch the LCD monitor off in this mode.
When you select Movie mode, the LCD monitor
shows that available recording time and the
“STANDBY” message indicating that the camera
is ready to shoot. The time in the top-right corner
