FRecording Movies

3Cautions

The indicator lamp lights while movies are being re- corded. Do not open the battery chamber during shooting or while the indicator lamp is lit. Failure to observe this precaution could prevent the movie from being played back.

Vertical or horizontal streaks may appear in movies containing very bright subjects. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

The temperature of the camera may rise if it is used to record movies for an extended period or if the ambi- ent temperature is high. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Optical zoom can not be adjusted when shooting movies in super macro mode (P34).
