select.

at the subject and then press [

(Movie).
This will start recording and display
Y
on the monitor screen.
Movie recording includes monaural
audio.
• Immediately after you press [

automatically on the subject in the
center of the monitor screen. After
this, focus is fixed while movie
recording is in progress.
3.
Press [
0

Movie recording also will stop automatically if memory becomes full before you

stops automatically when a file becomes 4GB.
Shooting with BEST SHOT
With BEST SHOT (page 55), 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 BEST SHOT scene named Night Scene,
for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during
movie recording (page 65). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due
to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.
