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.

Self-timer:

The self-timer standby mode is cancelled when you press the recording start/stop button to start motion picture recording.

Setting the self-timer to [2 SECONDS] is a good way to prevent image shake when the button is pressed while using a tripod etc.

Built-in flash:

Set the flash to [OFF] where using a flash is prohibited.

Do not use the flash with the ND filter (optional) attached.

If the ß indication etc. flashes when the button is pressed halfway, the flash is not activated.

The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m to 2.5 m in dark places.

Using the flash fixes a shutter speed to 1/500 or slower.

A conversion lens (optional) can block the flash and may cause a vignetting effect.

Red eye reduction:

The flash is activated 2 times.

Red eye phenomenon may appear depending on the recording conditions.

When faces are detected in the Intelligent auto mode, the red eye reduction is set to on.
