DRecording Movies

Banding or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources may leave after-images when the camera is panned. Jagged edges, false colors, moiré, and bright spots may also appear. When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.

Recording ends automatically if the lens is removed. Unless the camera is connected to a TV, recording will also end if the monitor is closed.

When used in live view or movie-recording mode for extended periods, the temperature of the camera’s internal circuits may rise, resulting in image noise and unusual colors (the camera may also

become noticeably warm, but this does not indicated a malfunction). To prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits, recording will end automatically before the camera overheats. A count-down display will appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view mode is selected.

Matrix metering is used regardless of the metering method selected.

The camera may record the sound made by VR lenses when vibration reduction is on.
