•

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 (

=

118

), all

images in the group are also erased. Be careful when erasing images.

Switch to manual focus mode (

=

) to more accurately specify the focal

position before shooting.

This mode can correct white balance and match the effect of using a
commercially available color-compensating filter (
