Zoom control during movie recording

The camera lets you zoom in and out during movie recording. Select the type of zoom available in movie mode from the setup menu (pg. 71). OPTICAL: sounds will not be recorded during zoom operation.

DIGITAL: it may produce lower quality images than optical zoom.

ANotes

•Focus is set when recording begins; exposure and white balance are adjusted automatically throughout recording. The color and brightness of the image may vary from that displayed before recording begins.

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