Recording Movies

You can record movies by simply pressing the b (e movie-record) button.
Color tones, white balance, and other settings are the same as they are when
taking still images.
1Turn on the camera and display the shooting

screen.

•The movie options icon indicates the type of movie
recorded. The default setting is d HD 1080pP
(1920×1080) (A90).
•When recording movies, the angle of view (i.e., the area
visible in the frame) is narrower than that of still
images. When Photo info in Monitor settings in the
setup menu (A100) is set to Movie frame+auto
info, you can confirm the area visible in the frame
before recording movies.
* The maximum movie length shown in the illustration differs from the actual value.
2Press the b (e movie-record) button to start

movie recording.

•The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame. Focus areas are not displayed during recording.
•When recording with an aspect ratio setting of 16:9 in
the movie options (e.g., Movie options is d HD
1080pP (1920×1080)), monitor display changes to
an aspect ratio of 16:9 (the movie is recorded in the
range shown in the screen on the right).
•The approximate remaining movie length is displayed
on the monitor. C is displayed while saving to the
internal memory.
•When the multi selector K is pressed during movie recording, recording is paused
(except when using p iFrame 540 (960×540) or HS movies). To resume recording,
press K again. If recording remains paused for more than five minutes or the b (e
movie-record) button is pressed, recording ends.
•Recording stops automatically when the maximum movie length has been recorded.
3Press the b (e movie-record) button again to end recording.
