Recording Movie Images and Audio
1. Configure the quality setting for the movie (page 33).
The length of the movie you can record will depend on the quality setting you
select.
2. In the REC mode, point the camera
at the subject and then press
[ ] (Movie).
This will start recording and display
on the monitor screen.
Movie recording includes monaural
audio.
3. Press [ ] (Movie) again to stop
recording.
Movie recording also will stop
automatically if memory becomes full
before you press [ ] (Movie).
• The maximum allowed for a single movie recording is 4 GB in file size or
29 minutes in length. Movie recording stops automatically when either of these
limits is reached.
Shooting with Scene Mode
With Scene Mode (page 47), you can select the sample scene that matches the type
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the Scene Mode scene named Night Scene,
for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.
