NOTE

Only digital zoom is enabled during HD or STD movie recording. Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. To use optical zoom for HD movie, STD movie, or high speed movie recording, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] to start recording.

The zoom bar is not displayed while movie recording is in progress.

The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these conditions.

Continuous AF is disabled while movie recording is in progress (page 99).

Face Detection is disabled during movie (HD, STD, high speed) recording.

During movie (HD, STD, high speed) recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] to start recording.

You can record with the A (Aperture Priority) mode, S (Shutter Speed Priority), or M (Manual Exposure) mode even when recording a movie (HD, STD, high speed). Set the mode dial to “A”, “S”, or “M”, configure exposure settings, and then press [0] to start recording.

With high speed movie recording, the exposure is fixed at the value in effect when recording was started. The exposure value that is applied is affected by selecting the A, S, or M exposure mode, by the shutter speed, and by the ISO sensitivity (in case of the M mode only). Note that the setting range of the shutter speed depends on the current high speed movie recording speed (fps).

When using the “Prerecord (Movie)” and “For YouTube” BEST SHOT scenes, the exposure mode is always t (Auto). The A, S, and M exposure modes are disabled.

The following BEST SHOT scenes are always shot using high speed movie. The current movie mode switch setting is ignored.

“Child High Speed Movie”, “Pet High Speed Movie”, “Sports High Speed Movie”
