Notes About Movie Recording

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the

batteries or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

B Notes About Recorded Movies

•There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When switching from optical zoom to digital zoom while recording movies, the zoom operation stops temporarily.

•The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

•Smear (A96) visible in the monitor with movie recording is recorded with movies. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.

•Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording

Autofocus may not perform as expected (A42). Should this occur, try the following:

1.Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie recording.

2.Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b(emovie-record) button to start recording, and modify the composition.
