For Video Clips:
To start recording video, press the Video button and then release it. A 10-second countdown appears on the Image Display and the Self-Timer/Focus Assist light blinks until the camera starts recording the video.
To stop recording, press the Video button again; otherwise, the video continues recording until the camera runs out of memory.
For a few seconds after recording stops, remains in the Image Display.
NOTE: With either the Self-Timer or the Self-Timer - 2 Shots setting, only one video clip is recorded after the countdown.
The Self-Timer setting resets to the default Timer Off setting after the picture or video clip is taken.
