    Solution

    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.
    IMPORTANT
    • 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.
