Shooting Videos
(Setting/Using Video Mode)
1) Follow steps 1-4 on the previous page, “Taking Still Photos”
2) To change from still photo to video mode, press the Right arrow key 3 times, until the movie camera icon is displayed at the
top right area of the LCD. You are now in Video Mode. Press the Shutter button to start recording a new video clip, and press
it again to stop recording and store the video in memory.
3) You have a choice of two types of video shooting, normal or loop (“Instant Replay”). Which type you shoot is determined by
the current setting in the “Video Size” option in the operating menu.
e recording time when shooting “Normal” videos is limited only by the amount of internal or card memory currently
available. You may record a single long video until you run out of memory, or multiple shorter videos by stopping and starting
recording whenever you wish by pressing Shutter button. e counter on the right side of the display shows the elapsed time
since the recording was started.
e recording time when shooting “Loop” videos is predetermined by the resolution and frame rate you select. is varies from
8 seconds at the highest resolution and rate (640x480 @ 30 fps) to 60 seconds at the lowest/slowest (320x240 @ 15 fps)-the
other settings produce 15 and 30 second loops. At the end of this time period, the video begins to record again automatically
(loop), replacing the previous video with the new footage. is is ideal for making sure you capture sports action at its peak-
simply start recording anytime (as a player nears the goal, for example), then stop recording after you see the outcome of the
play-you won’t waste a lot of memory and won’t have to “rewind” and search through a long video to find the highlight again.
4) Press the View button if you wish to check a video after you shoot it. Press the Shutter button to begin playback, press it again
to stop playback. Press the Left arrow keys to review your previous video or still photo files. Pressing the Display button will dis-
play a “thumbnail” review of multiple files-use the arrow keys to highlight the file you wish to review, then press Menu to select
and view it. When you are ready to return to the live preview display to shoot more videos (or stills), press the View button.
5) See the section “Review Menu” for more regarding reviewing and deleting previously taken videos.
