Recording a movie
H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest •
video coding format established in 2003
collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since
this format uses a high compression rate,
more data can be saved in less memory
space.
If you use a slow writing memory card, your •
movie's recording can be interrupted because
the card can not process data at the rate the
video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the
card with a faster memory card or reduce the
image size.
If you have the image stabilizer option on when •
shooting a movie, the camera may record the
image stabilizer sound.
When the size of a movie fi le exceeds 4GB, •
the camera automatically stops recording.
If this occurs, continue the movie by starting a
new movie fi le.
When formatting a memory card, always •
format using this camera. If you format on
another camera or a PC, you can cause a
change in the capacity of the card or make it
incompatible with your camera.
If you remove the camera lens while recording •
a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do
not change the lens while recording.
While you shoot a movie, the camera can •
record the sounds of the zoom mechanism
working and the sounds the camera makes
when you press the buttons.
If you change the shooting angle of the •
camera suddenly while shooting a movie, the
camera may not be able to record images
accurately. We recommend using a tripod
when shooting a movie. In this way, you can
minimize camera shake.
In the Movie Shooting mode, the camera •
supports only the Multi AF function. You can not
use any other focus area setting functions, such
as Face Detection AF.
