B Notes About Using Zoom During Movie Recording
• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When
recording movies, digital zoom operates up to approximately 2× the maximum
optical zoom ratio. If you zoom in on the subject while recording a movie, the
zoom motion temporarily stops at the position where optical zoom is changed to
digital zoom.
• When Shooting mode (A96) of the movie custom setting mode is set to
Aperture-priority auto or Manual, optical zoom cannot be used during movie
recording.
B Camera Temperature
• The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of
time or when the camera is used in a hot area.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the
camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the
camera stops recording (B10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it
turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
Focusing During Movie Recording
• The focus can be adjusted during movie recording in the following manner
in accordance with the Autofocus mode (A96) setting of the movie
menu.
- A Single AF (default setting): The focus is locked when movie
recording starts. To perform the autofocus function during movie
recording, press the AE-L/AF-L button (A2).
- B Full-time AF: The focus is adjusted repeatedly even during movie
recording. To lock the exposure or focus during movie recording, press the
AE-L/AF-L button. To cancel the lock, press the AE-L/AF-L button again.
• When the focus mode (A64) is E (manual focus), adjust the focus
manually. The focus can be adjusted by using the multi selector H (far)I
(near) while recording movies.
• Autofocus may not perform as expected (A84). Should this occur, try E
(manual focus) (A64, 66) or set
Autofocus mode
in the movie menu to
A Single AF (default setting) and then use focus lock (A85) to record.
