Movie Shooting Cautions White and Red Internal Temperature Warning Icons If the camera's internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white or red icon will appear. The white icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will deteriorate. You should stop still photo shooting and allow the camera's internal temperature to cool before shooting again. Since movie image quality will hardly be affected, you can still shoot movies. The red icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera's internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while. Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the or icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn off the camera. Recording and Image Quality If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer (IS) switch to , the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended to set the IS switch to . The camera's built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent (or reduce) these noises from being recorded. Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera's external microphone IN terminal. If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part may look momentarily still when you play back the movie. In such cases, shoot movies with manual exposure. If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor. In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor. 287

Movie Shooting Cautions
White <
s
> and Red <
E
> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white <
s
> or red <
E
>
icon will appear.
The white <
s
> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will
deteriorate. You should stop still photo shooting and allow the camera’s
internal temperature to cool before shooting again. Since movie image
quality will hardly be affected, you can still shoot movies.
The red
<
E
> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <
s
> or <
E
> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image
Stabilizer (IS) switch to <
1
>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all
times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image
Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie
shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a
tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended to set
the IS switch to <
2
>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part
may look momentarily still when you play back the movie. In such cases,
shoot movies with manual exposure.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded in almost
the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie
will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
