Shooting digital video is simple. Set the
main dial to movie recording (1). Frame
the picture as described in the basic
recording operation section (p. 26). Press
the shutter-release button partway down
to lock the focus (2). Press the shutter-
release button all the way down and
release to start recording. During record-
ing, the focus is fixed, but a stepless 2.5X
digital zoom is available. The camera will
continue to record until the recording time
is used or the shutter-release button is
pressed again. When recording, the data
panel and monitor frame counters will
count down the remaining time.

The RC-3 remote control (sold separately) can be used to record
movie clips and audio tracks (p. 76) from up to 5m (16ft) away.
Simply point the remote control toward the camera and use the
release or delay button to start and stop the recording.
When the release (1) or delay (2) button is pressed, the self-timer
lamp will blink once before the camera starts to record. The lamp will
glow to indicate the camera is recording. Both buttons will stop the
camera when pressed. The remote control may not operate with
backlit subjects or under fluorescent light.
