Point-and-Shoot Photography and Movie Recording
❚❚ Recording Movies
The camera may record sounds made by camera controls or
by the lens during focusing or when aperture is adjusted to
reflect changes in the brightness of the subject. Digital zoom
can be used, but footage shot with digital zoom will be
noticeably “grainy” (A14); optical zoom is not available.
Depending on the zoom ratio and distance to the subject,
“moiré” may be visible where the scene features regular
repeating patterns. This is a naturally-occurring interference
pattern arising from the interaction of the image sensor grid
with a regular repeating grid pattern in the subject and does
not indicate a malfunction. In addition, smear (A69) may be
recorded when bright objects such as the sun, sunlight, or
electric lights are in the frame; if possible, avoid framing bright
light sources in the display.
The temperature of the camera
may rise if it is used for extended
periods or in hot environments. If
there is risk of overheating during
movie recording, a count-down
timer will be displayed; recording
will end automatically and the
camera will turn off when the timer expires.
Autofocus: When Single AF (the default setting; A 28) is
selected for Autofocus mode in the movie menu, the
camera will focus when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway and focus and exposure will lock during movie
recording. If the camera fails to focus (A 14), try the following
method:
1 Select Single AF for Autofocus mode in the movie
menu.
2 Find an object that is at the same distance from the camera
as your subject and frame it in the center of the display.
3 Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.
4 Keeping the button pressed halfway, recompose the shot
with your original subject in the desired position.
5 Press the button the rest of the way down to start recording.
