D Recording Movies
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under
fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an
object moves at high speed through frame (flicker and banding can be reduced using
Flicker reduction; 0 55).
Bright light sources may leave after-images when the camera is
panned.
Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and bright spots may also appear.
Bright
bands may appear in some areas of the frame if the subject is briefly illuminated by a flash or
other bright, momentary light source.
When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at
the sun or other strong light sources.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.
The camera can record both video and sound; do not cover the microphone during
recording.
Note that the built-in microphone may record lens noise during autofocus and
vibration reduction.
Flash lighting can not be used during movie recording.
Live view may end automatically to prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits; exit live
view when the camera is not in use.
Note that the temperature of the camera’s internal
circuits may rise and noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be
displayed in the following instances (the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this
does not indicate a malfunction):
• The ambient temperature is high
• The camera has been used for extended periods in live view or to record movies
• The camera has been used in continuous release mode for extended periods
If live view does not start when you attempt to start live view or movie recording, wait for the
internal circuits to cool and then try again.
D The Count-Down Display
A count down will be displayed 30 s before live view ends automatically.
Depending on
shooting conditions, the timer may appear immediately when movie recording begins.
Note that regardless of the amount of recording time available, live view will still end
automatically when the timer expires.
Wait for the internal circuits to cool before resuming
movie recording.
