Recording Movies
IMPORTANT!
• 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.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speed. Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type
memory card. Note, however, that not all operations can be guaranteed even if an
Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain movie quality settings can
result in too much time being required to record data, which can result in breaks in
the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the Y will turn yellow on
the monitor screen.
NOTE
• Zoom operations are supported during movie recording (page 57). Zoom is
disabled during high speed movie recording. To use zoom for high speed movie
recording, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start
recording.
• Both Single SR Zoom (page 61) and Multi SR Zoom (page 62) are disabled during
movie 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.
• Except for High Speed Movie, Continuous AF (page 109) is performed during
movie recording while “AF” (Auto Focus) or “Macro” is selected for the “Focus”
setting.
• Face Detection is disabled during normal FHD and STD, and high speed movie
recording. Face Detection is enabled when shooting movies with Premium Auto
PRO (FHD and STD).
• The following functions do not support movie recording.
HDR, Multi SR Zoom, Slide Panorama, High Speed Best Selection,
Lag Correction, High Speed Anti Shake, Blurred Background, Wide Shot,
High Speed Night Shot, All-In-Focus Macro, Snapshot
• The A, S, and M recording modes are not supported when shooting a movie, or
when using the “Prerecord (Movie)” and “For YouTube” BEST SHOT scenes. In
these cases, the recording mode is always P (Program Auto).
