v Movie mode
In Movie mode, you can shoot videos in Full High Definition (1920X1080)
and capture sound via the camera’s microphone.
In order to adjust the exposure level, you can select Program in the
Movie AE Mode options menu so that the aperture value and shutter
speed can be automatically set or select Aperture Priority to manually
set the aperture value. You can also select Shutter Priority to manually
set the shutter speed or select Manual to manually set both the
aperture value and shutter speed. While shooting a video, press [F] to
activate or deactivate the AF function.
Select Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice to
mute or un-mute voice.
The camera lets you capture video files up to 25 minutes in length at
30 or 24 fps, and saves the files in MP4 (H.264) format. 24 fps is
available only with 1920X810.
•
H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established
in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high
compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
•
If you set the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the
camera may record the image stabilizer sound.
•
The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the
lens while recording a video.
•
When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.
•
If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will
be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.
•
If you attach an external microphone while recording a movie, sound will
not be recorded through the external microphone. (The previous settings
are maintained.) If you remove the external microphone while recording a
movie, sound will not be recorded. Turn off the camera before attaching or
removing the external microphone.
•
If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting
a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a
tripod to minimize camera shake.
•
In Movie mode, the camera supports only the Multi AF function. You
cannot use any other focus area setting functions, such as Face Detection
AF.
•
When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically
stops recording. If this occurs, continue shooting by starting a new movie
file.
•
If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be
interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is
being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or
reduce the image size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480).
•
When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you
format on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause
a change in the capacity of the card.
