About Sound
The sound is recorded in monaural by the camera’s built-in microphone
(p.16).
Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external
microphone equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.16).
The sound recording level will be adjusted automatically.
Display and Operating the Camera
The shutter speed and aperture displayed in the Live View screen when
the shutter button is pressed halfway are for shooting still photos.
If you take still photos during movie shooting while drive mode is set to
<Q> or <k>, <u> (single shooting) will take effect automatically.
You can use Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 (sold separately, p.102) to
start and stop the movie shooting. With RC-1, set the timing switch to
<2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to
<o> (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect.
If the movie shooting is not possible due to the insufficient remaining
capacity of the card, movie recording size and movie shooting remaining
time (p.112) will be displayed in red.
Live View Shooting Cautions for Stills and Movies
Notes About the Live View Image
Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not
reflect the brightness of the captured image. However, for movies, the
movie image displayed will be recorded in almost the same way you see
it on the LCD monitor.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If
this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual
light source to be used.
If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness
level stabilizes before shooting.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright
area might appear black on the LCD monitor. In still photos, such bright
areas will be recorded properly as a bright area. In movies, the bright areas
will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
