Recording and Playing Back Movies
B Notes About Saving Data
After taking pictures or recording a movie, the number of exposures remaining or the remaining
recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover. Image and movie data could be lost and the camera or memory
card could be damaged.
B Notes About Movie Recording
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording
movies (F21). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed
Class rating are used.
• The optical zoom magnification ratio cannot be changed once recording starts.
• Use the zoom control to operate digital zoom while recording movies. The zoom range is
between the optical zoom magnification ratio before recording a movie and up to 2×.
• Image quality degrades when digital zoom is used. When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and
aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,
may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.
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 too hot when recording
movies, the camera may automatically stop recording after 10
seconds in order to prevent damage to the camera.
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording
(B10 s) is displayed.
Five seconds after the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
