B Recording Movies

•The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and the focus remains locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Focus is locked while recording.

•Optical zoom cannot be applied while movies are recorded. Digital zoom cannot be used just before recording a movie, but up to 2× digital zoom can be applied while movies are recorded.

•Smear (A 114) visible in the monitor when shooting movies is visible in the saved movie file. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended to avoid smear effects.

•When recording or playing back movies, colored stripes (interference patterns or moire) may appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in cloths or windows in a building, depending on the shooting distance or zoom ratio. This phenomenon occurs when the subject’s pattern interferes with the camera sensor grid, and it does not indicate a malfunction.

BWhile the Camera is Saving Movies

When movie recording stops, the shooting screen is displayed after the movie has been completely saved. 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.
