The following special recordings are available in digital still recording mode:

• Interval recording : Consecutive recording of stills is possible at an interval that you specify: The interval can be set from approximately 30 seconds to approximately 5 minutes in 10-second steps.

With still recording, the following functions and recordings are also available in the same manner as with movie recording:

•Manual focus
