- What can I do with Highlight Movie?
- A2
- You can configure camera settings to automatically select snapshot and movie highlights, and create a movie of them each day. Images included in a Highlight Movie are selected based on their high light scores and shooting condition information recorded along with the images.
• With firmware version 2.0 or higher, you can select the types of images to be included in Highlight Movies.
• You can use the Highlight Score function to change the highlight score of a snapshot.
• The playback time and effects applied to the Highlight Movie are automatically determined based on the shooting condition information recorded along with the images included in the movie and their highlight score (+1 or 0).
Procedure
1. On the PLAY mode main screen, touch “Home icon”.
2. Touch “Highlights icon”.
3. Touch “Highlight Movie icon”.
4. Touch “Setting icon”.
• Touching “Imformation icon” will display an explanation of this function.
5. Touch an item and then change its setting.
Image Type: Select the type of images you want to include in the Highlight Movie.

6. After settings are the way you want, touch “Back icon” to return to the screen in step 4.
7. Touch “up icon” or “down icon” to select the date for which you want to create a Highlight Movie, and then touch it.
8. Touch “Yes”.
This creates and save the Highlight Movie, and displays it on the monitor screen.
• Touching “Cancel” while creation of a Highlight Movie is in progress will cancel the creation process and saves any part of the movie that was created up to that point.
NOTE
• An image whose highlight score is “–1” is never included in a Highlight Movie.
• A Highlight Movie is FHD movie quality, with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
If an image with an aspect ratio that is not 16:9 is incorporated into a Highlight Move, the top and bottom of the image will be cropped as required.
• If a portrait orientation image is incorporated in to a Highlight Movie, there will be black bands on the left and right of the image.
• When there is a total of more than 9,999 snapshot and movie files shot on the same date, Highlight Movie will select photos and movies from the files numbered 1 to 9999.
• The Highlight Movie operation may not be possible while battery power is low.
• Highlight Movie generation may not be possible while battery power is low.
Also, a failed operation may result in work files remaining in camera memory.
Such files are those that have a file name extension other than JPG or MOV, and a data size of 0 bytes.
To delete the work files, connect the camera to a computer.
• Depending on the number of files and other factors when a Highlight Movie is being created, the creation operation may take some time.
• Only movies that have been shot with this camera are eligible for use in a Highlight Movie.
• When viewing on a computer, smartphone, or other devices, a Highlight Movie thumbnail may show a double image.
This does not affect the movie file, which will play back normally.
• The message "Memory Full" will appear if there is not enough memory to store files during creation of a Highlight Movie.
If this happens, delete files you no longer need.
Required memory capacity for Highlight Movie creation is shown below:
144MB (Maximum playback time: 30 seconds), 288MB (Maximum playback time: 1 minute), 864MB (Maximum playback time: 3 minutes)
IMPORTANT!
• Do not try to power the camera using any other power supply besides the battery or included USB-AC adaptor.
Doing so creates the risk of power turning off before highlight movie creation is complete.
