How do I use the Movie Digest function to shoot and to play back movies made with it? (PowerShot ELPH 520 HS, 110 HS / IXUS 500 HS, 125 HS)
Solusi
You can make a short movie of a day just by taking still images.
Each time you take a picture, the scene just before taking your shot (about two to four seconds) will be automatically recorded as a movie. All the movies recorded on the same day will be saved as a single file.
IMPORTANT
- If the camera’s <Mode Switch> is set to [AUTO] (
) mode, [Movie Digest] (
) cannot be selected. - Since you are also shooting movies when you shoot still images, the battery will be depleted more quickly than in [AUTO] (
) mode. - Movies created in [Movie Digest] (
) mode are saved as iFrame movies. - In the following cases, movies will be saved as separate files even if they were shot on the same day with [Movie Digest] (
) mode.
- If the movie file size reaches about 4 GB or the total recording time reaches approx. 30 minutes

- If a movie has been edited
- If a new folder is created
- When the daylight saving time or time zone settings have been changed
