Recording and Playing Back Movies
B Notes About Saving Data
After taking a picture 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 while images or movies are being saved. 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 (A15). 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 4×.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When recording
ends, digital zoom turns off.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, autofocus lens drive movement (L26 only), and aperture
operation when brightness changes may be recorded.
• Smear (F3) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding
bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating
patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.)
in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the
layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.
B Camera Temperature
T
he camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when the
camera is used in a hot area.
B Notes About Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A28). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) before starting
movie recording (L26 only; A81, E39).
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.
