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.

 

 

 

Microphone

 

– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button

 

 

 

 

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.
