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,

always 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 microphones will also pick up the operation sound

and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Use the

Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to reduce these

sounds in the movie.



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, the movie

may freeze temporarily. In such cases, shoot movies with 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

MP4 format).
