MOVIE FOCUS MODE

The movie autofocus mode can be specified between continuous AF and single-shot AF in section 2 of the movie/audio menu (p. 38). Continuous AF continually focuses the camera; focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, but it is continually adjusted during recording. Single-shot AF allows the focus to be locked before recording the image.

MOVIE MODE

The movie-mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard produces a normal movie clip. Night Movie uses high camera sensitivity to record under low light levels; camera sensitivity increases automatically in low light. Image quality can be lower with Night Movies because of the higher sensitivity. The movie mode is set in section 2 of the movie/audio menu (p. 38).
