General 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. It is recommended that you stop still photo shooting for a while and allow the camera to cool down. 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 that you set the IS switch to . The camera's built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation noise. Use an external microphone (commercially available) to reduce camera operation noise in the movie. Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera's external microphone IN terminal. With autoexposure shooting or shutter-priority AE, if the brightness changes during movie shooting, the movie may freeze temporarily. In such cases, shoot movies with aperture-priority AE or manual exposure. If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor. In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor. If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may deteriorate or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support MOV/MP4 format). 351

General 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. It is recommended that you stop still photo shooting for a

while and allow the camera to cool down. 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 that

you set the IS switch to <

The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation

noise. Use an external microphone (commercially available) to reduce

camera operation noise in the movie.

Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the

camera’s external microphone IN terminal.

With autoexposure shooting or shutter-priority AE, if the brightness

changes during movie shooting, the movie may freeze temporarily. In

such cases, shoot movies with aperture-priority AE or manual exposure.

If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may

appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost

exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.

In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie

will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.

If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may

deteriorate or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support

MOV/MP4 format).
