Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while after recording
motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise due to static electricity or
electromagnetic waves etc. depending on the environment of the motion picture recording.
Even if the aspect ratio setting is the same in still pictures and motion pictures, the angle of view may
change at the start of the motion picture recording.
When [Video Rec Area] (P43) is set to [ON], angle of view during motion picture recording is
displayed.
About zooming while recording motion pictures
If you use Extended Optical Zoom or Intelligent Zoom, the angle of view may change drastically
when you start or finish recording a motion picture.
If you operate the zoom etc. while recording motion pictures, the sound of the operation may be
recorded.
The zoom speed will be slower than usual when recording motion pictures.
Operating the zoom while recording motion pictures can take time for the image to come into
focus.
Since the camera adjusts the focus and lens aperture automatically while recording a motion picture,
it may record the operation sound.
Motion pictures cannot be recorded in the following cases.
