Notes on movie recording
In movie recording, some functions can be used, some are fixed, and some are disabled, see chart. Image size, white balance, and movie mode can be selected with the movie menu.
When the red low-battery indicator appears (p. 16), power is insufficient for movie recording. The writing speed of the memory card in use may prevent an entire movie clip from being recorded.

Remote movie and audio recording with the RC-3

When the release or delay button is pressed, the self-timer lamp will blink before the camera starts to record; there is a two second delay when the delay button is used before the lamp glows to indicate recording. Both buttons will stop the recording when pressed. The remote control may not operate with backlit subjects or under fluorescent light.
