Movie Shooting Cautions

Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting

Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page 128.

If the shutter button is pressed halfway to focus while shooting movies, you may experience the following irregularities.

•The image may go temporarily out of focus.

•A sudden change of brightness may be recorded in the movie.

•A momentary stop may be recorded in the movie.

•The operation sound of the lens may be picked up and recorded.

•When the camera cannot focus, for example because the subject is moving, etc., shooting still photos may not be possible.

Connecting to a TV

If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.247, 251) and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.

Also refer to “Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult” on page 123.

•Since using Movie Servo AF will consume battery power, the number of possible shots and the possible movie shooting time will be reduced.

•During zooming or image magnification, Movie Servo AF operation will be stopped momentarily.

•During movie shooting, if a subject approaches / moves away, or if the camera is moved vertically or horizontally (panning) the recorded movie image may momentarily expand or contract (change in image magnification).
