Focus and Exposure During Movie Recording
• The focus can be adjusted during movie recording in the following manner in
accordance with the Autofocus mode (A80) setting of the movie menu.
- A Single AF (default setting): The focus is locked when b (e movie-
record) button is pressed to start movie recording.
- B Full-time AF: The focus is adjusted repeatedly even during movie
recording.
• Autofocus may not perform as expected (A64). Should this occur, try to set
Autofocus mode
in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) and
then use focus lock (A63) to record.
B Notes on Using Zoom During Movie Recording
• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality will deteriorate.
• If you start recording a movie without using digital zoom, and you keep operating the zoom
control toward g (i), the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Remove your finger
from the zoom control and then operate it again toward g (i) to activate digital zoom. When
movie recording ends, digital zoom is cancelled.
B Note on Recording Images and Saving Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum
movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an
indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the
memory card.
