The clip, which ends with the still image and a shutter sound, forms a single chapter in the digest movie. • 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. • Camera operating sounds will be recorded in digest movies. • Digest movie quality is [] and cannot be changed. • Some camera sounds will be muted. Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway or trigger the self-timer ( = 150). • 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 ( = 111). - Daylight saving time ( = 15) or time zone (= 151) settings are changed. - A new folder is created ( = 155). • Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased. • If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust the s\ etting in advance.

Still Images • A blinking [] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. • If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (= 205). • The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” ( = 205). • To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be activated when shooting in low-light conditions. • A blinking [h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again. • The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies (Sleeping) icons ( = 33) are displayed. • Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness, and colors used. • You can change how long images are displayed after shots ( = 49). Movies • Keep your fingers away from the microphone while shooting movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled. • Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded. • Once movie recording begins, a smaller image display area is shown, with the subject enlarged, as a measure when correcting distortion such as rotational camera shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting, adjust the image stabilization setting (= 89). • Audio is recorded in stereo. • Distorted audio caused by recording when the wind is strong can be reduc\ ed. However, the recording may sound unnatural when this option is used when there is no wind. When the wind is not strong, press the < n> button, choose [Wind Filter] on the [4] tab, and then choose [Off] ( = 25). Microphone
