NOTE
• Front shutter button operation will become disabled while shooting with some BEST SHOT scenes.
• When the “Front Shutter” setting is something other than “Off”, the front shutter button can be used to shoot a snapshot while movie recording is in progress (Snapshot In Movie), In this case, however, only a single snapshot can be recorded. You cannot shoot a Continuous Shutter (CS) image during movie recording.
