Using the Movie mode

In Movie mode, you can customize settings to record full HD videos of up to 20 minutes in length. The camera saves recorded videos as MP4 (H.264) files.

H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is a high-compression video format established by the international standards organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T.

If you use a memory card with a slow write speed, the camera will not have the necessary processing speed to save videos properly. The video recording may stop or recorded video frames may become corrupted.

Memory cards with slow writing speeds will not support high-resolution videos and high-speed videos. To record high-resolution or high-speed videos, use memory cards with faster write speeds. (SDHC Class6 or higher)

If you activate the OIS function while recording a video, the camera may record the operating sound of the OIS function.

If you use the zoom function when recording a video, the camera may record the noise of the zoom operating. To decrease zoom noise, use the Sound Alive function. (p. 96)
