GOLF SHOT
Divides 2 seconds of fast movement into
frames which are then recorded as a
movie and photos. You can view a series
of movement when playing back, which is
convenient in cases such as checking golf
swing or tennis form.
On the [GOLF SHOT] screen, frame the
subject in the white guide frame in the
center of the screen, then press START/
STOP. The 0.5 second point before START/
STOP is pressed is assumed as the moment
of impact, and the period of 1.5 seconds
before and 0.5 second after it (2 seconds
total) is recorded. When impact sound
is detected, the recording time period is
automatically adjusted according to that
moment.

Notes
The size of photos becomes 1,920  1,080.
You cannot record sound.
Image quality is not as good as that of normal
recording.
You cannot use [GOLF SHOT] when you set
the image quality to standard definition image
quality (STD).
Tips
You can set the self-timer by touching
(OPTION). With [SELF-TIMER] set to [ON],
press START/STOP to start countdown of the
timer. The point when countdown reaches 0 is
assumed as the moment of impact and motion
before and after 0 is recorded.
If camera shake is excessive, or there are moving
objects in the background during recording,
image analysis will not be performed effectively,
and images may contain noise as a result. It is
recommended that you record images under
stable conditions (for example, using a tripod).
Impact sound may be detected by the internal
microphone even when an external microphone
is attached.
SMTH SLW REC (Smooth slow
rec)
Fast moving subjects and actions, which
cannot be captured under the ordinary
shooting conditions, can be shot in smooth
moving slow-motion for about 3 seconds.
Press START/STOP on the [SMTH SLW
REC] screen.
An about-3-second movie is recorded
as a 12-second-slow-motion movie.
[Recording…] disappears, when recording
is finished.
Touch to cancel the smooth slow
recording.
