in the
Capture
menu (see page 38), the camera will start
recording 10 seconds after you press the
Video
button.
However, with the
On - 2 shots
setting, the camera only
records one video clip.
The camera automatically stops recording when the maximum
video clip length of approximately 2 minutes is reached, or the
memory card is full, whichever comes first. After recording has

button halfway down. The camera
measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The
camera will hold these settings for the 10 seconds until it
takes the picture.

button all the way
down instead, the camera locks focus and exposure just
before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful
when one or more subjects will be entering the picture
during the 10-second countdown period.
