D Recording Movies Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Jagged edges, false colors, moiré, and bright spots may also appear. If a flash or other light source with brief duration is used during recording, bright bands may appear or the top or bottom of the frame may brighten. When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera's internal circuitry. Depending on the brightness of the subject, changes to exposure may have no visible effect. Note that movies can not be recorded if a CPU lens with an aperture ring is attached with Aperture ring selected for Custom Setting f8 (Customize command dials) > Aperture setting y (0 323). Select Sub-command dial when using a CPU lens with an aperture ring. Recording ends automatically if the lens is removed. When used in live view mode for extended periods, the camera's internal temperature may rise, resulting in noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels or fog; the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this does not indicate a malfunction). To prevent damage to the camera's internal circuits, recording will end automatically before the camera overheats. A count-down display will appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view mode is selected. Sounds made by the camera lens when aperture is adjusted or during focusing may be picked up by the microphone in tripod mode. 69
