BNotes on Movie Recording

•When recording a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended (A221). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may end unexpectedly.

•Using a digital zoom causes image quality to deteriorate. If you start recording the movie without using digital zoom, and you rotate the zoom control in the gdirection, the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again in the gdirection to trigger digital zoom.

•The sound of using the zoom control, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control when the brightness changes may be recorded. To minimize the recording of the zoom sound, set Zoom speed in the setup menu to Auto (default setting) or Quiet (A179).
