however the exposure and white balance are adjusted
to the scene being shot.
• If recording is stopped immediately after it begins,
1 second of the movie is recorded onto the xD-Picture
Card or internal memory.
CAUTION
• Because a movie is recorded onto the xD-Picture Card
or internal memory as it is saved, it cannot be recorded
correctly if the camera suddenly loses power (if the
battery runs out or the AC power adapter is
disconnected).
• A movie file taken by FinePix F30 may not be playable
on other cameras.
• Because sound is recorded concurrently with the
images, make sure that you do not cover the
microphone with a finger, etc. (➝p.13).

movie shooting.
