SHOOTING A MOVIE
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but
will be recorded in the case of a movie.
• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,
which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “ ” and
“ ” 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 while shooting a movie. Digital zoom
only is available while shooting a movie. If you want to use a
particular optical zoom setting, make sure you select it before
you press the shutter button to start movie recording (page
59).
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more
pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor.
Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these
conditions.
• When the subject is outside the camera’s focus range,
focusing is not possible and the image will be out of focus.
