Using C Camera Mode, N Continuous Shooting Mode and M Movie Mode

Applicable mode: C/N/M

The detailed settings discussed here can be used to set functions similar to those found on

conventional cameras, such as AE and long exposure settings, as well as settings specific

to digital cameras such as color and chroma.

Applicable mode: M

You can choose whether to shoot your movies with sound or without sound.

• To prevent the sound of the zoom operating being recorded, the specifications for this

camera are such that zooming is disabled when a movie with sound is being shot.

Compose the shot with the zoom before you start shooting or use the digital zoom

( p.3-3). To use the digital zoom, zoom in fully with the optical zoom before taking the

picture. If the movie is shot without sound, the optical zoom can be used during shooting.
