These times may vary with the subject and shooting conditions. Recording will automatically stop when the maximum is reached or when the CF cards runs out of free capacity.

Filming may stop unexpectedly with certain types of CF card (if it is a slow-recording card, if it has been formatted on a different camera or a computer, or if images have been shot and erased repeatedly).

•You are recommended to use a CF card that has been formatted in your camera to shoot movies (p. 134). The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting. In addition, you are recommended to use the optional FC-256MH CF Card (not sold in some

regions) to shoot movies with the setting.

•Be careful not to touch the microphone while shooting.

•The AE, AF, white balance and zoom settings are set and locked to the settings of the first frame.

•If the indicator on the left side of the viewfinder blinks green after a shot, this indicates that the movie is being written to the CF card. You cannot shoot again until it stops blinking.

•For functions available in this mode, see page 224.

•Sound is recorded monaurally.

•There is no shutter sound in movie mode.

•QuickTime 3.0 or higher is required to replay movie files (AVI / Motion JPEG) on a computer. (QuickTime (for Windows) is bundled on the supplied Digital Camera Solution Disk. On the Macintosh platform, QuickTime 3.0 or later is generally bundled with Mac OS 8.5 or later operating system.)
