Movie Shooting Cautions
Internal Temperature Warning <s> (in white) or <E> (in red)
After prolonged shooting or when shooting under a high ambient
temperature, the camera’s internal temperature will increase and the white
<
s
> icon or red <
E
> icon will appear in white or red on the screen.
The white <s> icon indicates degraded still photo quality. It is
recommended to temporarily stop shooting still photos until the camera’s
internal temperature decreases. As the image quality of movies is almost
unaffected, you can continue shooting movies.
The red <
E
> icon indicates that the power will soon turn off automatically. If
this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal
temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
Shooting for prolonged periods under high ambient temperatures will cause the <
s
>
icon or <
E
> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image
Stabilizer (IS) to <1>,
the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even
if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer
consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie shooting time or
decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a tripod or if the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended to set the IS to
<2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part
may look momentarily still when you play back the movie. In such cases,
shoot movies with manual exposure.
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level indicator
may appear on the right of the screen during movie shooting. It
indicates how much data has not yet been written to the card
(remaining capacity of the internal buffer memory). The slower
the card, the faster the indicator will climb upward. If the
indicator becomes full, movie shooting will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
