Recording a video

In Shooting mode, you can record Full HD videos (1920X1080) by pressing (Video recording). The camera lets you record a video up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds in length at 30, 24, or 15 fps, and saves the files in

MP4 (H.264) format. The maximum recording time when you select is 20 minutes. 24 fps is available only with 1920X810.

15 fps is available only with some Smart Filter options. The sound is recorded via the camera's microphone.

You can set the exposure by adjusting the aperture value and shutter speed for the mode you selected. The camera automatically focuses on the subject that you touch on the screen when shooting a movie. When you touch the Touch AF cancel button (), the camera will switch to continuous autofocus. When the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to MF, you cannot use the Touch AF feature.

Touch Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice, Wind Cut, or other options to set recording options. (p. 108)

•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 have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the camera may record the image stabilizer sound.

•The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the lens while recording a video.

•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 a movie, sound will not be recorded through the external microphone. (The previous settings are maintained.) If you remove the external microphone while recording a movie, sound will not be recorded. Turn off the camera before attaching or removing the external microphone.
