      You can compress the file and save it as a separate file when [Save compressed] (2) is displayed.
    • On the confirmation screen, select [OK] to save the edited movie and return to the movie playback screen.

Caution

  • Because editing is performed in approx. 1 sec. increments (at the position indicated by [Specified position] at the bottom of the screen), the actual position where movies are trimmed may differ from your specified position.
  • Movies shot with another camera cannot be edited with this camera.
  • Editing first and last scenes is not available for movies that were divided because they exceeded 4 GB.
  • You cannot edit a movie when the camera is connected to a computer.
  • Movies may not be compressed when the remaining battery capacity is low. Use of a fully charged battery or a household power outlet accessory (sold separately) is recommended.
  • For extensive movie editing, consider using an optional household power outlet accessory.
