Recording Movies with Premium Auto PRO

When Premium Auto PRO is enabled (page 33), the

camera automatically make judgments about the subject, shooting conditions, and other parameters. The

result is higher quality images than those produced by

Program Auto recording. The shooting environment detected by the camera is displayed at the bottom of the REC mode screen.

Premium Auto PRO is enabled for FHD movies and STD movies only.

Using Premium Auto PRO uses up the battery charge more quickly than using Program Auto recording.

Shooting with BEST SHOT

With BEST SHOT (page 79), 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.

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording

You can use Anti Shake (page 108) to configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during FHD and STD movie recording. Note that Anti Shake cannot be used with HDR Art Movie and that Anti Shake does not prevent image blur due to subject movement.

Audio

Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo) during movie recording.

Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording movies (page 111).

. Recording Precautions

Microphones

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

Take care that the microphones are 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.

Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus noise to be in the audio recording.

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

When shooting with the “HS” movie mode at a frame rate setting of “30-120 fps” or “30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at 30 fps. Audio is not recorded at any other frame rates.
