■ Movie Recording Precautions
• The flash does not fire during movie recording
• This camera also records audio. Note the following points
when recording a movie.
— Take care that you do not
block the microphone
with your fingers.
— Good recording results
are not possible when the
camera is too far from the
subject.
— Operating camera
buttons during recording
can cause button noise to
be included in the audio.
— Movie audio is recorded
in monaural.
— The camera focuses automatically whenever you have
Auto Focus ( ) (page 80) or Macro ( ) (page 83)
selected as the focus mode. Note that the confirmation
tone that sounds during the Auto Focus operation will
be recorded in the audio. If you do not want
confirmation tones in your audio, keep Pan Focus
( ) as the focus mode, or select Manual Focus ( )
and manually focus the image before starting your
recording.
• Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical
band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a
CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does
not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical
smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a
snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
• The movie recording capacity of built-in memory is very
small. Use of a memory card (page 175) is recommended
when recording movies.
• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,
which can cause movie frames to be dropped. and
REC
flash on the monitor screen during recording to let
you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD
memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least
10MB per second is recommended.
• Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording. Digital
zoom only is available. Make sure you select the optical
zoom setting you want to use before you press the
shutter button to start movie recording (page 65).
• The effects of camera movement in an image become
more pronounced when you record close ups or recording
with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod
is recommended when recording close ups or recording
with a large zoom factor.
