kShooting Movies
3 Set the shutter speed and aperture.
Press the shutter button halfway and check the exposure level indicator. Turn the <6> dial to set the shutter speed within 1/30 (1/60) sec. to 1/4000 sec.
If you set the power switch to <J> and turn the <5> dial, you can set the aperture.
4 Focus and shoot the movie.
The procedure is the same as steps 2 and 3 for “Autoexposure Shooting” (p.143).
With manual exposure shooting, AE lock and exposure compensation cannot be set.
Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since variations in the exposure, due to the drive of the lens aperture, will be recorded.
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 lighting, the movie image might flicker.
The shutter speed’s lower limit will change depending on the frame rate (p.151).
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
