B Notes About Autofocus

Autofocus may not perform as expected (A77). Should this occur, try the following:

1.Set Movie AF mode (A99) in the movie menu to ASingle 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 then modify the composition.

C Movie Options and Maximum Movie Length

Movie options (A99)	Memory card (4 GB)*
cHD 1080pP (1920×1080) (default setting)	25 min
dHD 1080p (1920×1080)	40 min
eHD 720p (1280×720)	50 min

All figures are approximate. The maximum movie length may vary depending on the make of the memory card, even among memory cards of the same capacity. Check the shooting screen for the maximum movie length when recording to the internal memory (approx. 78 MB).

*Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording. When a battery is used to operate

the camera, the battery may run out and recording may end before either limit is reached, despite the battery being fully charged (F19). In addition, recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes elevated.

C Functions Available for Movie Recording

•The exposure compensation and white balance settings for the current shooting mode are also

applied with movie recording. The settings adjusted with the scene effect adjustment slider in scene mode (A40) and the hues specified in special effects mode (A52) are also applied to movies. When macro mode is enabled, movies of subjects close to the camera can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.

•The self-timer (A61) can be used. When the b (emovie-record) button is pressed after the self-timer is enabled, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame and starts movie recording after the specified two or ten seconds.

•The flash will not fire.

•Tap F to adjust movie menu settings before starting movie recording (A99).

•If Photo info in the Monitor settings (A104) in the setup menu is set to Movie frame+auto info, the area that will be visible in the movie can be confirmed before movie recording starts.
