Recording Movies
Your camera has built-in microphones that
can be used to record audio during movie
recording. An external microphone jack also
supports connection of a commercially
available external microphone. Note,
however, that the built-in microphones are
disabled while an external microphone is
being used.
. Recording Precautions
The camera also records audio. Note the
following points when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphones are not
blocked by your fingers, etc.
– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is
too far away from what you are trying to record.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button
noise to be picked up in the audio.
NOTE
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies,
which can cause movie frames to be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor
screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being lost. To avoid loss of movie
frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per
second is recommended.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is
recommended under these conditions.
• Face Detection is disabled during movie recording.
