Taking Pictures
If you keep the shutter release button pressed for more than one second, 
recording will continue as long as you keep the button pressed. Shooting stops 
when you take your finger off the shutter release button.
This camera starts/stops movie recording simply by pressing the Movie button, 
without selecting C (Movie) from the Capture Mode Palette. This is useful when 
you want to start recording quickly.

Recording starts. You can continue recording until the recorded movie time 
reaches 25 minutes.
• The focus mode can be changed before recording starts.
• When the focus mode is set to \(Manual Focus), you can adjust the

not work depending on the condition of the recognized faces, and movie 
recording may not start automatically. If this happens, press the shutter 
release button to start movie recording.
