Countdown in seconds

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. 23). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the shutter-release button all the way down and release to start recording (2). The zoom and focus are fixed during recording. 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.
