Notes on Movie Shooting
The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder. Autofocusing during movie shooting may momentarily throw the focus far off or change the exposure.
During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set to [Rec. to multiple] (p.116), the movie cannot be recorded to both the CF card <f> and SD card <g>. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card which has been set for [Playback].
If <Q> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie shooting, the white balance may also change.
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may flicker. Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 241 and 242.
If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages 215 and 216.
