Recording Movies

before movie recording begins. However, digital zoom can be applied (up to 2×) while movies are
being recorded.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
• The angle of view (recordable area) with movie recording is narrower than with shooting of still
pictures.

movies is recommended.

slot cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card while movies are being
saved could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
