Wind noise reduction:
When the Intelligent auto mode is set to on,
[WIND CUT] is set to [ON], and the setting
cannot be changed.
The sound quality may be changed if this
function is activated in strong winds.
Microphone setup:
If you wish to record higher quality sound and
maintain realism even when zooming in, for
instance recording a music recital, we
recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to
[SURROUND].
Microphone level:
When the Intelligent auto mode is on, the
setting is fixed to [AUTO] and cannot be
changed.
When [MIC SETUP] is [ZOOM MIC], the
volume will be different depending on the zoom
rate.
The microphone input level meter shows the
largest volume for the microphones.
You cannot record with the audio completely
muted.
Hi-speed burst shooting:
If you turn off the power or change the mode to
, this function is cancelled.
The maximum number of times you can record
on a media: 15.
(In the case of SD cards it is the maximum
number of recordable scenes per card.)
Colour balance and brightness on the screen
may change with some light sources such as
fluorescent lamps.
Image quality is different from ordinary still
picture recording.
Self-timer:
The self-timer standby mode is cancelled when
you press the recording start/stop button to
start motion picture recording.
Setting the self-timer to [2 SECONDS] is a
good way to prevent image shake when the
button is pressed while using a tripod etc.
Built-in flash:
Set the flash to [OFF] where using a flash is
prohibited.
If the ß indication etc. flashes when the
button is pressed halfway, the flash is not
activated.
The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m
to 2.5 m in dark places.
Using the flash fixes a shutter speed to 1/500
or slower.
Red eye reduction:
The flash is activated 2 times.
Red eye phenomenon may appear depending
on the recording conditions.
When faces are detected in the Intelligent auto
mode, the red eye reduction is set to on.
Do not use the flash with the ND filter (optional)
attached.
A conversion lens (optional) can block the flash
and may cause a vignetting effect.
