6.Record the movie the same way as you would a normal movie (page 65).

Press [0] (Movie) to start and stop recording.

•During High Speed Movie recording (HS120, HS240, HS480, HS1000), focus is fixed at the position where it was when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.

•Continuous AF is operational when recording at 30 fps with “HS30-120” or “HS30-240”. However, focus becomes fixed whenever you switch to 120 fps or 240 fps.

•When “HS30-120” or “HS30-240” is selected as the frame rate, recording always starts with a frame rate of 30 fps. You can switch the frame rate between 30 fps and 120 fps or between 30 fps and 240 fps only while recording is in progress. Press [4], [6], or [SET] to switch speeds. Audio is recorded only while shooting at a 30 fps.
