IMPORTANT!

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 along with Full HD and HD movies. 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

Microphone

record.

 

Shooting movies for long periods in areas where

temperature is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down, which should cause normal operation to resume.

Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie recording.

Use of certain types of memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the time it takes to record movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. The movie icon turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order to avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card is recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the operation of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.

NOTE

Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie recording (page 41). Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. If you want to use zoom, perform the zoom operation before you touch “b” (Movie) to start recording.

SR Zoom (page 41) is disabled during movie 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, stabilizing the camera by placing it on a level surface, etc. is recommended.

During High Speed Movie 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 before you touch “b” (Movie) to start recording.
