MOVIE RECORDING

 

1

This camera can record digital video with sound. Set the

 

mode switch to the movie-recording position (1). Before

 

 

 

 

recording, the monitor frame counter shows the maximum

 

 

time in seconds that can be recorded. The length of the

 

 

movie clip depends on the image size and frame rate, and

 

 

the space available on the memory card. The maximum

 

 

recording time is 15 minutes; low light levels can shorten

 

 

this time. Image size and frame rate is selected with the

 

 

movie menu (p. 108). Movie recording is not possible

 

 

when the red low-battery warning is displayed.

 

 

Place the subject in the center of the live image and press

 

 

the shutter-release button partway down to set the focus.

 

 

Use the focus signal to confirm focus.

Camera Notes

When making movie recordings, be careful not to touch or cover the microphone. The quality of the recording is proportional to the subject to microphone distance. For best results, hold the camera approximately 20cm (8in) from your mouth.
