NOTE
•Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
•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 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. | Microphone |
•Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.
•Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended (page 175).
•Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing [0] to start recording.
•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.
•Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page 66).
