How do I use the Movie Digest function to shoot and to play back movies made with it? (PowerShot G1 X)

Giải pháp

You can make a short movie of a day just by taking still images.
Each time you take a picture, the scene just before taking your shot (about two to four seconds) will be automatically recorded as a movie. All the movies recorded on the same day will be saved as a single file.

  • The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.
  • Since you are also shooting movies when you shoot still images, the battery will be depleted more quickly than in [AUTO] () mode.
  • The image quality will be fixed at () for movies shot in [Movie Digest] () mode.
  • In the following cases, movies will be saved as separate files even if they were shot on the same day with [Movie Digest] () mode.
- If the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 1 hour
- If the movie is protected

- When a new folder is created
- If the copyright information is changed or deleted
