MEMO

The brightness and color of the LCD monitor shown during movie recording may differ from those shown before recording begins.

Pressing the shutter button down fully fixes the focus, 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 F31fd 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).

Camera operation noises may be recorded during movie shooting.
