Converting Motion Snapshot Images to Movies

The Motion Snapshot function allows you to record short movies with the sensation of taking still images. Each time the shutter is released, the camera simultaneously records a still image and a movie that is approximately 1.5 seconds in length. The camera automatically adds music and combines the files so that the movie plays back in slow motion and ends with the still image.
Motion Snapshot images can be recorded in either NMS (MOV + JPEG) or MOV (MOV only) file format. However, some camera models do not support Motion Snapshot images that are recorded in MOV file format. In this case, Motion Snapshot images are recorded only in NMS (MOV + JPEG) file format.
In ViewNX-i, Motion Snapshot images recorded in MOV format are handled as MOV files. You can convert NMS (MOV + JPEG) format Motion Snapshot images to MOV files in ViewNX-i. Converting Motion Snapshot images to MOV format enables you to view them using other applications, in the same way as with ViewNX-i.
  1. Select the Motion Snapshot image you want to convert to a MOV file.
  1. From the [File] menu, select [Convert Motion Snapshot to Movie...].
    A window for setting the save destination and file name of the converted movie is displayed.
    The default file name of the MOV file is "[Motion Snapshot file name].MOV".
  1. Set the save destination and file name, and then click [Save].
    The selected Motion Snapshot image is converted into a movie file.
