Movie Shooting Cautions

Recording and Image Quality

If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will

climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting

will stop automatically.Indicator If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either

not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.

First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting

Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page 201.

Playback and TV connection

If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.261, 264) and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.

Lens

The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting only when using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed since the second half of 2011.
