TAKING PICTURES
Press the shutter-release button all
the way down and release to start
recording.
• The data panel and LCD monitor will count
down the remaining time while recording.
• The green focus lamp will blink to indicate the
camera is recording.
MOVIE MODE
Turn the function dial to set the
camera in movie mode.
Frame the picture as instructed in
step 1 and 2 of the basic recording
operation section on page 27.
• Exposure for the movie clip is determined
when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down before the clip is taken. When
panning between areas with differing levels of
brightness, the image will be unevenly
exposed becoming light or dark.
This digital camera can take movie clips of up to 60 seconds in length. In the movie-
recording mode, the flash is automatically canceled, the white balance controls are
set to AUTO, and the camera sensitivity is set to normal. Control over exposure can
be made with the exposure-compensation function (p. 34). The digital zoom cannot
be used.
Press the shutter-release button to
stop recording.
• The camera will continuously record until the
shutter-release button is pressed again, or
the maximum recording time has been
reached.
When in the movie-recording mode, the
data panel will indicate the number of one
minute movie clips that can be recorded
on the CompactFlash card; “C” is used
for the abbreviation for clip. When less
than one 60-second clip can be stored,
the counter will indicate the number of
remaining seconds that can be recorded.
When recording, the data-panel frame counter will
countdown from 60 seconds or from the remaining
time when less than one clip can be recorded.

ber of movie clips on the
