•Blurriness may change during motion picture recording depending on the recording conditions.

•Aperture is controlled within the range of appropriate exposure during the recording of a motion picture, so the aperture may not actually change even when the slide bar is moved depending on the brightness of the subject, and the blurriness may not change. (For example, blurriness may not change for dark scenes, such as indoors, since the aperture is fixed to fully open.)

•Depending on the lens used, you may hear a sound from the lens when the Defocus Control is used, but this is due to operation of the aperture of the lens and it is not a malfunction.

•Depending on the lens used, operational sound of the Defocus Control may be recorded during the recording of a motion picture when the function is used.

•Depending on the lens used, Defocus Control function may not operate. Refer to the website for compatible lenses.
