Technical Notes

The camera may record sounds made by camera controls or by the lens during focusing or when aperture is adjusted to reflect changes in the brightness of the subject. Digital zoom can be used, but footage shot with digital zoom will be noticeably “grainy” (A14); optical zoom is not available.

Depending on the zoom ratio and distance to the subject, “moiré” may be visible where the scene features regular repeating patterns. This is a naturally-occurring interference pattern arising from the interaction of the image sensor grid with a regular repeating grid pattern in the subject and does not indicate a malfunction. In addition, smear (A69) may be recorded when bright objects such as the sun, sunlight, or electric lights are in the frame; if possible, avoid framing bright light sources in the display.

The temperature of the camera

may rise if it is used for extended periods or in hot environments. If

there is risk of overheating during movie recording, a count-down timer will be displayed; recording will end automatically and the

camera will turn off when the timer expires.

Autofocus: When Single AF (the default setting; A28) is selected for Autofocus mode in the movie menu, the camera will focus when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and focus and exposure will lock during movie recording. If the camera fails to focus (A14), try the following method:

1Select Single AF for Autofocus mode in the movie menu.

2Find an object that is at the same distance from the camera as your subject and frame it in the center of the display.

3Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.

4Keeping the button pressed halfway, recompose the shot with your original subject in the desired position.

5Press the button the rest of the way down to start recording.
