MOVIE RECORDING

Movie files are recorded at approximately 522KB per

 

second. A 16MB Compactflash card can store about 19

 

seconds of digital video with audio. Actual time depends

 

on the subject and the amount of free space on the

 

memory card. For more on movie recording, see page

Set the mode switch to the movie recording (1) position.

 

Before recording, the data-panel and monitor frame

be recorded.

 

Shooting digital video is simple. 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
