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.

•Monitor screen content switching is disabled during high speed movie recording.

Using Prerecord Movie (Prerecord (Movie))

Prerecord (Movie) maintains a pre-recording of approximately five seconds of action (approximately two seconds for High Speed Movie). When you start real-time recording, the pre-recorded content is stored followed by the real-time recording, to help make sure you do not miss anything by being late pressing the record button.
