3To stop recording, press the button again.

The length of a video clip is limited only by the amount of available memory. The camera calculates the Time Remaining (mm:ss) counter based on the amount of available memory (internal or memory card). The video ends when Time Remaining reaches zero or the button is pressed again.

After recording has stopped, the last frame of the video clip remains on the Image Display for instant review. During this time, the video clip is saved to memory unless you choose to delete it by pressing the OK button.

NOTE Audio is automatically recorded with video clips.
