“Formatting cards” (P.173).
• When
R
is set to ON, the movie is recorded with the focus that was
set when the shutter button was pressed in Step 3. If the distance
to the subject changes, focus may be compromised.

mode, the flash and manual focus (MF) cannot be used.
Note

pressing the shutter button.

space on the card by deleting the movie or downloading it to a PC.
