How do I use the Movie Digest function to shoot and to play back movies made with it?

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.

Caution

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.

The image quality will be fixed at () for movies shot in [Movie Digest] () mode.

In the following cases, movies will be saved as separate files even if they were shot on the same day with [Movie Digest] () mode.
