button to be used to start movie live view, focus, and start and end recording: press the shutter-
release button halfway once to start live view, then press it all the way down to start fi lming and
again to end recording. If the camera is mounted on a tripod, camera shake can be reduced by using

end recording. Assigning movie recording to the shutter-release button also allows wireless remote
controllers to be used to record footage with multiple cameras simultaneously.
