ABefore Recording

Set aperture before recording in mode A or M. Note that movies may be over- or under-exposed at some aperture settings. Before shooting, check the brightness of the scene in the monitor; if the picture is too bright or too dark, end live view and adjust aperture as necessary.

2Choose a focus mode.

Choose a focus mode as described in Step 2 of “Live View“ (0 50).

AUsing an External Microphone

The built-in microphone may record lens noise during autofocus or vibration reduction. This can be prevented by using a commercially-available external microphone with a stereo mini-pin jack (3.5 mm diameter). External microphones can also be used to record in stereo.

3Choose an AF-area mode.
