Recording Movies B Notes on Movie Recording • When saving a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended (A23). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may end unexpectedly. • Using the digital zoom causes image quality to deteriorate. If you start recording the movie without using digital zoom, and you keep rotating the zoom control toward g, the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again toward g to trigger digital zoom. When recording ends, digital zoom turns off. • The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control when the brightness changes may be recorded. • The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies. - Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting - Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed - The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved B Notes on the Camera Temperature • The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area. • When the temperature inside the camera becomes extremely high while recording a movie, recording automatically stops after 5 seconds. The remaining amount of recording time (B 5 s) is displayed on the monitor. The camera turns off in 5 seconds after movie recording automatically stops. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled and then use it. 7m23s C Focusing for Movie Recording • When Autofocus mode (A99) in the movie menu is set to A Single AF (default setting), the focus is locked when the b (e movie-record) button is pressed to start movie recording.
