Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode

You can make a short movie of the day just by shooting still images. The
camera records 2 – 4-second clips of scenes before each shot, which are
later combined in a digest movie.

The camera records both a still image
and movie clip. The clip, which ends with
the still image and a shutter sound, forms
a single chapter in the digest movie.

Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [

] mode, because

digest movies are recorded for each shot.

A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image
immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [

] mode, or

operating the camera in other ways.

Sounds and vibration caused by camera operation will be recorded
in digest movies.

Digest movie quality is [

] and cannot be changed.

Some camera sounds will be muted. Sounds are not played when you press
the shutter button halfway or trigger the self-timer (

=

157

).

Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if
they were recorded on the same day in [

] mode.

-

The digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the total recording
time reaches approximately 13 minutes and 20 seconds.

-

The digest movie is protected (

=

116

).

-

Daylight saving time (

=

15

) or time zone (

=

158

) settings are changed.

-

A new folder is created (

=

162

).

Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased.

If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust the setting in
advance. Press the <

n> button, and on the [4] tab, set [Digest Type] to

[No Stills] (

=

25

).

Individual chapters can be edited (

=

129

).
