This camera comes equipped with a function for creating short movie clips called "video snapshots".
A video snapshot is a short movie shot in one take that lasts for a few seconds. If you set the length of one scene (approximately 2, 4, or 8 seconds) and start shooting movies, the shooting will end after the set amount of time passes. If you shoot a number of video snapshots in this way, you can record them as a "video snapshot album," a single movie file recorded on the memory card.
A video snapshot album can also be played together with background music.
In this section, the operations involved in shooting video snapshots are explained in the steps below.
(1) Setting the Video Snapshot Shooting Duration
(2) Creating a Video Snapshot Album
(3) Adding to Existing Album
(4) Playback video snapshot album.
(5) Playing together with Background Music (if adding other music to the video snapshot)
(6) Moving video snapshots within an album
(7) Deleting video snapshots in an album
