[Stop Motion Animation]
Recording mode: 
You can stitch still pictures to create stop motion animation.
 Complete the date and time settings in advance. 
 •Still pictures that were captured using frame-by-frame recording are grouped into a 
single group picture. 
Before creating stop motion animation
When you use [Stop Motion Animation] to record still pictures by moving a subject such 
as a doll little by little and then stitching those pictures, you can create a stop motion 
animation as if the subject is moving.
 
To create stop motion animation using this camera, it is necessary to record 1 to 
50 frames of still pictures for every 1 second of motion picture.
 
To produce smooth movement of the subject, record the motion using as many frames 
as possible and set a higher number of frames per second (frame rate) when you 
create a stop motion animation.
