NOTE

•Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

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

–Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers, etc.

–Good recording results are not possible when the camera is

too far away from what you are trying to record.

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

•Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

•Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the » and Y will flash on the monitor screen.

•Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing [0] (Movie) to start recording.

•The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these conditions.

•Focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress.
