Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode
You can make a short movie of the day (digest movie). Just by shooting
still images, the camera will automatically record a movie clip of the scene
immediately before each shot.
1
Enter [ ] mode.
z z
Follow step 2 in “Shooting (Smart Auto)”
(
=
36) and choose [ ].
2
Shoot.
z z
Follow steps 3 – 4 in “Shooting (Smart
Auto)” (
= 16) to shoot a still image.
z z
To beautifully capture a digest movie,
which is created by automatically
recording about 2 – 4 seconds of the
scene before each shot, aim the camera
at the subject about four seconds before
shooting a still image.
z z
Some camera sounds will be muted.
Sounds are not played when you press
the shutter ring halfway, or trigger the
self-timer (
=
106).
•
Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [ ] mode, because
digest movies are recorded for each shot.
•
Digest movies may not be recorded if you shoot a still image
immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [
] mode,
turning the camera upside-down, or operating the camera in other
ways.
•
Camera operating sounds will be recorded in digest movies.
•
Although the digest movie recorded on a particular day constitutes a single
file, a single clip (chapter) is created with each shot, and the clip can be edited
(
=
79).
• Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if
they were recorded on the same day in [
] mode.
- If the digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB or the total recording
time reaches approximately 29 minutes and 59 seconds
- If the daylight saving time (
=
14) or time zone (
=
106) settings have
been changed
Digest Movie Playback
You can play digest movies either by viewing still images shot in [ ] mode
on the same day as the movies or by specifying the date of movies to play
(
=
67).
Still Images
• A flashing [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take
other measures to keep it still.
• If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the
subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” ( =
130).
•
The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when
you press the shutter ring halfway. For details on the focusing range
(shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (
=
130).
•
To assist in focusing, the lamp may be activated when you press the
shutter ring halfway down in low-light conditions.
•
The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies
(Sleeping) icons (
=
39) are displayed.
• You can change how long images are displayed after shots ( = 51).
