RECORDING - ADVANCED OPERATION
This camera can record digital video with sound. Simply
slide the mode switch to the movie/audio recording
position (1). The frame counter shows the total recording
time for the next movie clip. Total recording time varies
with the frame rate, see page 53. Some changes can be
made with the movie menu (p. 40).
Place the subject in the focus frames and press the
shutter-release button partway down to lock focus (2).
Press the shutter-release button all the way down and
release to begin recording (3).
A digital zoom is available during recording. The camera
continues to record until the recording time is used or
the shutter-release button is pressed again.
When recording, the frame counter displays the remain-
ing time. During the last ten seconds, the counter turns
red.
Take care not to cover the microphone while recording.

DRIVE MODES
The drive modes control the rate and method images
are captured. Indicators indicating the selected drive
mode appear on the monitor. If auto reset (p. 45) is
active, the drive mode is reset to single-frame advance
when the camera is turned off.
Press the down key of the controller to select the drive
mode (1).
Single-frame advance -
to take a single image each time the shutter-release button is
pressed. This is the camera’s default setting.
Self-timer -
to delay the release of the shutter (p. 38). Used for self-portraits.
Multi Frame -
to create a composite image of a nine-frame series when the shutter-
release button is pressed once, see below.
Continuous advance -
to take up to four images when the shutter-release button is
pressed and held (p. 39).
Multi Frame
Take the picture as described in the basic recording operation sec-
tion (p. 24). Once the series starts, the shutter button can be
released; the camera continues recording until all nine frames have
been captured.
Flash cannot be used. Because of the limits to the shutter speeds,
images may be underexposed in low-light conditions. Image size
refers to the total area of all nine images, not the size of each indi-
vidual thumbnail.
