Recording Movies

BNotes on Movie Recording

•When saving a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended (A19). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may end unexpectedly.

•The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control when the brightness changes may be recorded.

•The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor screen while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.

-Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting

-Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed

-The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned

-Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved

BNotes on the Camera Temperature

•The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area.

•When the temperature inside the camera becomes extremely high during movie recording, the camera may automatically stop recording to prevent internal damage to the camera. The message “The camera will turn off to prevent overheating.” and a 10-second countdown indicator (B10s) are displayed on the monitor until the camera automatically stops recording and is turned off when it automatically stops recording.

Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled and then use it.

CFunctions Available in Movie Recording

•The exposure compensation and White balance settings in shooting menu (A58) are also applied with movie recording.

•When macro mode is enabled, movies of subjects closer to the camera can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.

•The self-timer (A52) can be used. If the self-timer is set and the b(emovie-record) button is pressed, the camera starts movie recording after 10 or 2 seconds.

•The flash does not fire.

•Press the dbutton before starting to record the movie to display the e(movie) menu icon and select movie menu settings (A80).
