• If the camera runs out of battery power or memory card space,
shooting stops and a movie created from the images up to that point
is saved.
• Maximum available shooting duration varies depending on free
space on the memory card.
• Optical zoom is set to maximum wide angle and cannot be adjusted.
• There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes
the images.
• To save each shot collected before the movie is created, choose MENU ►
[ 4] tab ► [Save Stills] ► [On]. Note that these individual images are
managed as a single group, and during playback, only the first image is
displayed. To indicate that the image is part of a group, [ ] is displayed
in the upper left of the screen. If you erase a grouped image ( = 114 ), all
images in the group are also erased. Be careful when erasing images.
• Set [Night Display] to [On] ( = 90 ) in this mode.
• Switch to manual focus mode ( = 78 ) to more accurately specify the focal
position before shooting.

commercially available color-compensating filter ( = 74 ).
