Recording Movies
Shooting with BEST SHOT
With BEST SHOT (page 73), you can select the sample scene that matches the type
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for
example, will shoot images with vivid green trees and grass. Movie Recording is
disabled while certain BEST SHOT scenes are being used.
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
You can use Anti Shake (page 95) to configure the camera to minimize the effects of
camera movement during FHD and STD movie recording. Note that Anti Shake
cannot be used with HDR Art Movie and that Anti Shake does not prevent image blur
due to subject movement.
Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo)
during movie recording.
• Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording
movies (page 99).
. 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 audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
– Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus
noise to be in the audio recording.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked
up in the audio.
• When shooting with the “HS” movie mode at a frame rate setting of “30-120 fps” or
“30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at 30 fps. Audio is
not recorded at any other frame rates.
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.
• Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to
be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie
recording.
