With the new firmware, the following features will be available:
[MODE PLAY] has been added to the [PLAYBACK MODE].
This playback mode is useful if you want to play back only still pictures or only videos.
Still pictures can be captured from motion pictures.
This allows a scene from a motion picture to be saved as a still picture.
Motion pictures can be split.
This allows a single motion picture to be split into 2 parts. This is convenient when you want to
keep just the necessary scenes, or if you wish to delete unnecessary scenes to increase free
space on your card.
