NOTE

•The higher the frame rate (speed), the more lighting is required when shooting. When shooting a high speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.

•When recording certain types of movies, the image that appears on the monitor screen may be smaller than normal. When recording a high speed movie, there are black bands along the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen.

•When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

•During high speed movie recording, Auto Focus and exposure remain fixed at the levels they were when you initially started recording. Zoom and monitor screen content switching are all disabled.

•To focus the image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before starting the high speed movie recording operation.

Using Prerecord Movie (Prerecord (Movie))

With this feature, the camera pre-records up to five seconds of whatever is happening in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] saves the pre-recorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time recording continues until you stop it. Prerecord Movie can be used when shooting a standard (STD) movie, a high-definition (HD) movie, or a high speed (HS) movie.

•When using Prerecord Movie in combination with high speed movie, the buffer will store two seconds of pre-recording instead of the usual five.
