Movie Recording and Playback

Recording Movies

BWhile the Camera Is Saving Movies

When movie recording stops, the movie is not completely saved until the shooting screen is displayed. Do not open the battery-chamber / memory card slot cover. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or the memory card.

BRecording Movies

When recording movies, we recommend using a memory card with a Class 6 or higher speed class rating (A 130). When using a memory card with a low speed class, recording may stop unexpectedly.

There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. If the digital zoom is not being used when movie recording begins, turning and holding the zoom control or the side zoom control toward gmagnifies the image using optical zoom and the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. After letting go of the zoom control, turn the zoom control toward g again to magnify the image using the digital zoom.

When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.

The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

Smear (A 128) visible in the monitor when recording will be visible in the saved image data. To reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movie.

At a certain focus distance or zoom ratio, colored stripe patterns (such as fringe or moire patterns) may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (such as a piece of fabric or a lattice window of a building). This is a phenomenon that occurs when the pattern of the subject interferes with the alignment of the image sensor, and is not a malfunction.

The camera, battery or memory card may be hot immediately after using the camera. Observe caution when removing the battery or memory card.

BAutofocus

When Autofocus mode in the movie menu is set to A Single AF (default setting), focus is locked when the b (e movie-record) button is pressed and recording starts (A 85).

Autofocus may not perform as expected in certain situations (A 25). Try using the following methods in these situations.

1.Before recording, set Autofocus mode to A Single AF (default setting) in the movie menu.

2.Aim the camera at another subject that is positioned the same distance from the camera as the desired subject, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, then aim the camera at the desired subject.
