Shooting Your First Video 
Video mode allows you to record digital video clips in
ASF (MPEG 4) and AVI format with resolutions of
640x480 or 320x240 pixels. The video clips can be
stored in the DV camera’s internal memory or in the SD
expansion card, the length of which is determined only
by the size of your available memory.
To record video clips:
1. Press the POWER button to turn
on the DV camera.
The DV camera should start up in
Video mode. Check for the Video
mode icon ( ) in the top left
corner of the screen.
2. Compose your shot using the
LCD screen.
3. Press the Shutter button and
release to start recording.
Video recording begins, with the
elapsed recording time shown on
the LCD screen.
For best results, hold the DV camera steady to pan
when recording video clips.
4. Press the Shutter button a second time to stop
recording.
NOTE:
• If the DV camera is not in Video mode, press the
MODE button to show the mode screen, then select
