Shooting in Fast Forward Movie mode starts.

Off (×1) is the normal setting for movie pictures (12 frames per second). Each time ×2 or ×5 is selected, the number of frames taken per second is reduced to 1/2 or 1/5.

As movie pictures are normally played back at the rate of 12 frames per second, movies taken at ×2 are played back twice as fast and movies taken at ×5 are played back five times as fast.

Sound cannot be recorded.
