B Note on Recording Movies

Do not open the battery-chamber/
memory card slot cover.
Cutting the power or removing the memory card before saving is complete
could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
C External Microphones
Instead of the built-in microphone, a commercially available microphone can be connected to the
external microphone connector (A5) to record sound during movie recording or voice memos for
still pictures (A132). Use an external microphone that conforms to the specifications of “External
microphone connector” in “I/O terminal” (A218) in “Specifications.”
• When the external microphone is connected, Wind noise reduction (A150) in the movie menu
cannot be used.
