Recording Movies with Premium Auto PRO

When Premium Auto PRO is enabled (page 29), the

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

The result is higher quality images than those produced by Auto recording. The shooting environment detected by the camera is displayed in the lower right corner 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 Auto recording.

Shooting with BEST SHOT

With BEST SHOT (page 76), 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. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for example, will shoot images with vivid green trees and grass. Movie Recording is disabled while certain BEST SHOT scenes are being used.

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording

You can use Anti Shake (page 93) 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 96).

. Recording Precautions

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points

Microphones

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.
