    Solution

      With your camera, you can edit out the first and last scenes of a movie in 1-sec. increments. You can select [Overwrite] to save and overwrite the original movie, or [New file] to save the movie as a new movie. This operation is carried on the movie playback screen.

      1. Flip out the LCD monitor, and then set the power switch to <ON>.
      For the details about how to open the LCD monitor, see How to use the vari-angle LCD monitor of the EOS 60D.

      2. Press the < > to display the image.



      3. Press the <Multi-controller> to select the image.
      • During the single-image display, the [ ] icon displayed on the upper left indicates that it is a movie.
      • During the index display, the perforation on the left edge of the image indicates that it is a movie. Movies cannot be played on the index display, so press the <SET> button to switch to the single-image display.



      4. On the single-image display, press the <SET> button.
      The movie playback panel will appear on the bottom.



      5. Press the <Multi-controller> to select [ ], then press the <SET> button.
      The editing screen will be displayed.



      6. Specify the parts to be edited out.
      6-1. Press the <Multi-controller> to select either [ ] (Cut beginning) or [ ] (Cut end), then press the <SET> button.
      6-2. Press the <Multi-controller> key to fast forward or turn the <Quick Control Dial> (next frame) to specify the part to be edited out, then press the <SET> button.
      • After deciding which part to edit out, press the <SET> button.
      • The portion highlighted in blue on the top of the screen is what will remain.
      • Since the editing is done in 1-sec. increments (position indicated by [ ]), the exact position where the movie is edited may differ slightly from the position you specified.





      7. Check the editing.
      • Press the <Multi-controller> key to select [ ], and then press the <SET> button to playback the portion highlighted in blue.
      • To change the editing, go back to step 6.
      • To cancel the editing, select [ ] and press the <SET> button.



      8. Press the <Multi-controller> key to select [ ], then press the <SET> button to save the movie. The save screen will appear.
      To save it as a new movie, select [New file]. Or to save it and overwrite the original movie file, select [Overwrite]. Then press the <SET> button.


      NOTE
      If the card does not have enough space to save the movie, only [Overwrite] can be selected.
