Solution
You can make a short movie of a day just by taking still images.
Each time you take a picture, the scene just before taking your shot (about two to four seconds) will be automatically recorded as a movie. All the movies recorded on the same day will be saved as a single file.
IMPORTANT
- If the camera’s <Mode Switch> is set to [AUTO] (
) mode, [Movie Digest] (
) cannot be selected. - Since you are also shooting movies when you shoot still images, the battery will be depleted more quickly than in [AUTO] () mode.
- The image quality will be fixed at (
) for movies shot in [Movie Digest] () mode. - In the following cases, movies will be saved as separate files even if they were shot on the same day with [Movie Digest] () mode.
- If the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 1 hour
- If the movie is protected
- If the Time Zone setting is changed
- When a new folder is created
