Konica Minolta S304 - Manual (Page 65)

Shooting digital video is simple. Set the
main dial to movie recording (1). Frame
the picture as described in the basic
recording operation section (p. 23).
Press the shutter-release button
partway down to lock the focus and
exposure. Press the shutter-release
button all the way down and release to
start recording (2). The zoom and focus
are fixed during recording. The camera
will continue to record until the
recording time is used or the shutter-
release button is pressed again. When
recording, the data panel and monitor
frame counters will count down the
remaining time.
The RC-3 remote control (sold separately) can be used to record
movie clips up to 5m (16ft) away. Simply point the remote control
toward the camera and use the release or delay button start and
stop the recording.
When using the release button (1), the self-timer lamp will blink once
before the camera starts to record; when using the delay button (2),
the self-timer lamp will blink for two seconds before recording. The
lamp will glow to indicate the camera is recording. Both buttons will
stop the camera instantly when pressed. The remote control may not
operate with backlit subjects or under fluorescent light.
