[icon_mode-p-motion_table] mode (Creative Video mode) and [S&Q] mode (Slow & Quick mode) are recording modes specifically for video.

In the [S&Q] mode, you can record smooth slow motion video and quick motion video by changing the frame rate.

In the recording modes specifically for video, you can start and stop video recording with the shutter button.
