    Solution

      With your camera, you can edit out the first and last scenes of a movie in 1-sec. increments. You can select [Overwrite] to save and overwrite the original movie, or [New file] to save the movie as a new movie. This operation is carried on the movie playback screen.

      2. Press the < > to display the image.



      3. Press the <Main Dial> to select a movie.
      On the single-image display, the [ ] icon displayed on the upper left indicates a movie. If the movie is a video snapshot, [ ] will be displayed.
      In the index display, perforations at the left edge of a thumbnail indicate a movie. As movies cannot be played on the index display, press < /SET> to switch to the single-image display.
