The movie mode option selects the type of movie recorded. Standard movie produces
a color image. Night Movie can record under low light levels and produces a black and
white movie file. Auto select automatically switch between the two movie modes
depending on the lighting conditions. When recording, the mode is fixed. While Night
Movies can be recorded under normal conditions, however bright outdoor lighting may
be beyond the exposure control range.
The audio option allows a movie to be recorded
with or without an audio track. The focus mode
changes with the audio setting. If audio is on,
the focus is fixed when recording begins. If audio
is off, focus will continuously adjust during
recording.
