Recording Movie Images and 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.
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when
shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is 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.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.
• Use of certain types of memory cards or the camera’s built-in memory increases
the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. This
condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss
of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least
10MB per second is recommended (page 161).
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing
[0] to start recording.
• 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.
• Continuous AF is disabled and focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress
(page 72).
