Solution

    You can make a short movie of the day just by shooting still images. The camera records 2 – 4-second clips of scenes before each shot, which are later combined in a digest movie.
    The procedure for shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode is explained below.

    1. Turn the camera on.

    2. Set the mode dial to <>.



    3. Compose the shot.
    • To zoom in and enlarge the subject, move the zoom lever toward <> (telephoto), and to zoom away from the subject, move it toward <> (wide angle). (A zoom bar showing the zoom position is displayed.)





    4. Focus.
    • Press the shutter button halfway. The camera beeps twice after focusing, and AF frames are displayed to indicate image areas in focus.
    • Several AF frames are displayed when multiple areas are in focus.

    5. Press the shutter button all the way down to shoot.
    • As the camera shoots, a shutter sound is played, and in low-light conditions when you have raised the flash, it fires automatically.
    • After displaying your shot, the camera will revert to the shooting screen.
    • The camera records both a still image and movie clip. The clip, which ends with the still image and a shutter sound, forms a single chapter in the digest movie.

    IMPORTANT
    • Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [ ] mode, because digest movies are recorded for each shot.
    • A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [ ] mode, or operating the camera in other ways.
    • Sounds and vibration caused by camera operation will be recorded in digest movies.
    NOTE
    • Keep the camera still until the shutter sound ends.
    • Digest movie quality is [ ] and cannot be changed.
    • Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway or trigger the self-timer.
    • Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if they were recorded on the same day in < > mode.
    - The digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the total recording time reaches approximately 13 minutes and 20 seconds.
    - The digest movie is protected.
    - Daylight saving time or time zone settings are changed.
    - A new folder is created.
    • Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased.
    • If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust the setting in advance. Choose <MENU> > [ ] tab > [Digest Type] > [No Stills].
    • Individual chapters can be edited.
