Operating camera buttons during recording can cause button noise to be included in the audio.

Movie audio is recorded in monaural.

Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
