B Notes About Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A72). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) before starting
movie recording (A 93, E68).
2. Frame another subject—positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended
subject—in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and
then modify the composition.
C Maximum Movie Recording Time
All figures are approximate. The maximum recording time may vary depending on the make of the
memory card, even among memory cards of the same capacity.
T
o confirm the maximum length of a movie that can be recorded in the internal memory (approx.
28 MB), remove the memory card from the camera, and then check the maximum recording time
displayed in the monitor when shooting.
* The maximum size for a single movie is 4 GB, and the maximum recording time for a single movie
is 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card. If the camera becomes
hot, movie recording may stop before these limits are reached.
C Functions Available with Movie Recording
The exposure compensation, white balance, and color options settings for the current shooting
mode are also applied with movie recording. The tone that results from using scene mode (A37)
or special effects mode (A46) is also applied to movies. When macro mode is enabled, movies of
subjects closer to the camera can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.
The self-timer (A56) can be used. Set the self-timer and then press the b (e movie-record)
button to start recording a movie after 10 seconds.
The flash does not fire.
Press the d button to select the D (movie) tab and adjust movie menu settings before starting
movie recording (A93).
