Shooting with BEST SHOT

With BEST SHOT (page 63), you can select the sample scene that matches the type of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for example, will shot images with vivid green trees and grass.

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording

You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during HD and STD movie recording (page 83). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject movement.

Audio

Your camera has a built-in microphone that can be used to record audio (monaural) during movie recording.

. Recording Precautions

Microphone

The camera also records audio. Note the following points when shooting a movie.

– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers, etc.

Good audio recording results are not possible when the camera is too far away from what you are trying to record.

Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked up in the audio.

Audio recording cannot be performed while “HS” is selected as the movie mode.
