This camera can record up to sixty seconds of digital video. The
motion JPEG image is 320 X 240 pixels (QVGA). The effective
image area is 308 X 240 pixels; two thin lines will appear to the
left and right of the image when played back.
Shooting digital video is simple. Set the main dial to movie
recording (1). Frame the picture as described in the basic
recording operation (p. 29). Press the shutter-release button
once to start recording (2). The camera will continue to record
until the recording time is used or the shutter-release button is
pressed again. When recording, the data panel and monitor
frame counters will countdown the remaining time.
When the camera is not recording, the data-panel
and monitor frame counters will show the maximum
time in seconds that can be recorded with the next
movie clip. A maximum of 60 seconds will be
displayed until the amount of remaining time falls
below one minute, then the remaining number of
seconds that can be recorded will be displayed.
