When recording video clips at a high magnification

i When recording video clips at a high magnification, a moving subject or moving camera can cause camera shake, resulting in a distorted playback image. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the CMOS sensor and is not a malfunction.

i It is recommended that you use a tripod to stabilize the camera when recording video clips at a high magnification.
