Auto slow shutter:

≥When the shutter speed becomes 1/25, the screen may be seen as if frames are missed and afterimages may appear.

Digital cinema colour:

≥When motion pictures recorded while this function is turned [ON] are played back with a TV not compatible with x.v.Colour™, colours may not be reproduced properly.

≥To play back images recorded in the digital cinema colour with vivid colours of wider colour ranges, a device compatible with x.v.Colour™ is required. When these images are played back with devices other than ones compatible with x.v.Colour™, it is recommended to record the images after this function is turned [OFF].

≥x.v.Colour™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.

Wind noise reduction:

≥When the Intelligent auto mode is set to on, [WIND CUT] is set to [ON], and the setting cannot be changed.

≥The sound quality may be changed if this function is activated in strong winds.

Microphone setup:

≥If you wish to record higher quality sound and maintain realism even when zooming in, for instance recording a music recital, we recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to [SURROUND].

Microphone level:

≥When the Intelligent auto mode is on, the setting is fixed to [AUTO] and cannot be changed.

≥When [MIC SETUP] is [ZOOM MIC], the volume will be different depending on the zoom rate.

≥The microphone input level meter shows the largest volume for the microphones.

≥You cannot record with the audio completely muted.

Hi-speed burst shooting:

≥If you turn off the power or change the mode to

, this function is cancelled.

≥The maximum number of times you can record on a media: 15.

(In the case of SD cards it is the maximum number of recordable scenes per card.)

≥Colour balance and brightness on the screen may change with some light sources such as fluorescent lamps.

≥Image quality is different from ordinary still picture recording.

AF assist lamp:

≥A conversion lens (optional) can block the AF assist lamp, and it will become harder to adjust the focus.

≥When the Intelligent auto mode is on, the setting is fixed to [AUTO] and cannot be changed.

≥Set to [OFF] when you would not like the AF assist lamp to illuminate in dark environment, such as when you are recording animals in dark. It will become harder to adjust the focus.
