Digest Movie Playback

Display a still image shot in
mode to play the digest movie created on
the same day ( = 69).

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.
The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once
when you press the shutter button halfway.
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit
when shooting in low-light conditions.
A blinking [ ] 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.
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
( = 38).

Movies

Keep your fingers away from the microphone (1) while recording
movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being
recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled.
( 1 )
Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
recording movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes
and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant
camera shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before
shooting, follow the steps in "Recording Movies with Subjects at
the Same Size Shown before Shooting" ( = 37).
Individual movies that exceed 4 GB may be divided into multiple
files. Automatic playback of divided movie files one after another
is not supported. Play each movie separately.
The camera may use a slower shutter speed under low-light
conditions. Slower shutter speeds reduce image noise (Auto slow
shutter).
If you prefer smoother movies that are less affected by subject
shake, set [Auto slow shutter] to [Disable] in
that they may be darker ( = 48).
Audio is recorded in stereo.
