My Camera > Shooting modes

Recording a video

In Shooting mode, you can record UHD videos (up to 4096X2160) by pressing (Video recording). (p. 205) The camera saves video in HEVC format. To view HEVC files, you must have a device or program with HEVC codecs installed. Sound is recorded via the camera’s microphone. (If you attach an external microphone, the sound will be recorded via the external microphone.) You can set the mic level by touching 7 when recording a video.

You can set the exposure by adjusting the aperture value and shutter speed for the mode you selected. When you use a lens that does not have an AF/MF switch while recording a video, press [F] to select a desired AF mode. If the lens has an AF/MF switch, set the switch according to the selected focus mode. Set the switch to AF when you select Single AF or Continuous AF. Set the switch to MF when you select Manual Focus.

Press the AF start button to switch between AF and MF and press [f] to switch between Single AF and Continuous AF while recording a video. Press the AEL button to use the focus lock function (when the AFL function is assigned to the AEL button).

Select Fader to fade a scene in or out. You can also select Voice, Wind Cut, or other options. (p. 136)

While recording a video, touch to select a touch AF option. If you select Touch AF, you can hold the camera‘s focus on a subject by touching the subject on the screen. If you select Tracking AF, the focus tracks and automatically focuses on your subject, even when the subject is moving or when you change the picture composition.

High-efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest video encoding format established in 2013 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Because this format uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space. Depending on your computer‘s specifications and interface, files may not play at full resolution due to the high compression rate on some computers. To view the file in HEVC format, you need a device or program that installed HEVC codecs.

If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the camera may record the sound of the image stabilizer working.

When recording a video, the camera may record the sounds of the zoom or other lens adjustments.

When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.

If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.

If you attach an external microphone while recording, sound will be recorded via the external microphone. If you remove the external microphone while recording, sound will be recorded via the camera‘s microphone.

You can set the ISO sensitivity up to ISO 6400 when recording a video.
