Before recording, the data-panel and monitor frame counters will show the maximum time in seconds that can be recorded on the next movie clip.

Shooting digital video is simple. Set the main dial to movie recording (1). Frame the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 26). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus (2). Press the shutter- release button all the way down and release to start recording.

During recording, the focus is fixed, but a stepless 4X digital zoom is available. The camera will continue to record until the recording time is used or the shutter-release button is pressed again. When recording, the data panel and monitor frame counters will count down the remaining time.
