Shooting and Playback with Movie Digest (PowerShot D30)

You can make a short movie of a day just by shooting still images.

Before each shot, the camera will automatically record a movie clip of the scene. Each clip recorded that day is combined into a single file.

Caution

Clips may not be recorded if you shoot a still image immediately after turning the camera on, choosing (Movie Digest) [ ] mode, or operating the camera in other ways.

Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [ ] mode, because clips are recorded for each shot.

Sounds and vibrations from operating the camera will be recorded in digest movies.
