Recording Movies
Use this feature to record a movie with a dramatic slow motion section. You can
configure settings to control the length and timing of the slow motion section.
1.
Align the mode dial with [
] (Dramatic Slow Motion).
2.
With the camera pointed at the subject, press [
0
] (Movie).
• This will save the action that was pre-recorded before you pressed [
0
] (Movie)
and start real-time movie recording.
• Recording will stop automatically a preset amount of time after [
0
] (Movie) is
pressed.
NOTE
• The slow motion section of the movie can be recorded with a “Movie Quality”
setting of “HS120” or “HS240” only (page 123). Shooting a Dramatic Slow Motion
movie while a movie quality setting other than “HS120” or “HS240” is selected, will
cause the slow motion section to be recorded with the “HS120” movie quality
setting.
• Audio is recorded only for the normal sections of the movie, not for the slow motion
section.
• The functions below cannot be used in combination with Dramatic Slow Motion
recording.
Self-timer, ISO, Make-up
• Perform a camera operation (displaying the menu, zoom or focus operation, etc.)
while a Dramatic Slow Motion pre-recording operation is in progress will delete the
current pre-recorded movie data. After that, you should wait a few seconds to allow
accumulation for more pre-recording data before pressing the [
0
] (Movie) button to
start recording. Otherwise, the pre-recorded section may be shorter than normal.
