Shooting in Smart Auto Mode
Prepare the camera for shooting.
Follow steps 1 – 3 on p. 54 to turn the camera
on and set it to A mode, and then
compose the shot.
Start shooting.
Press the movie button. The camera beeps
once as recording begins, and [ Rec] is
displayed with the elapsed time.
Black bars displayed on the top and bottom
edges of the screen indicate image areas not
recorded.
Once recording begins, you can take your
finger off the movie button.
Resize the subject and recompose
the shot as needed.
To resize the subject, do the same thing as in
step 3 on p. 54.
However, note that movies shot at zoom
factors shown in blue will be grainy, and the
sound of camera operations will be recorded.
When you recompose shots, the focus stays
the same but the brightness and colors will be
automatically adjusted.
