Recording Movies Focus and Exposure During Movie Recording • The focus can be adjusted during movie recording in the following manner in accordance with the Autofocus mode (A96) setting of the movie menu. - A Single AF (default setting): The focus is locked when the b (e movie- record) button is pressed to start movie recording. To adjust the focus using the autofocus again while recording movies, press the multi selector J. - B Full-time AF: The focus is adjusted repeatedly even during movie recording. • When the focus mode (A58) is E (manual focus), adjust the focus manually. The focus can be adjusted during movie recording by rotating the multi selector clockwise to focus on near subjects or counterclockwise to focus on far subjects. • Autofocus may not perform as expected (A81). Should this occur, try E (manual focus) (A58, E2) or set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) and then use focus lock (A81) to record. • When the multi selector K is pressed during movie recording, the exposure is locked. To unlock, press K again. Pausing Movie Recording When the k button is pressed during movie recording, recording is paused (except when using p iFrame 540/30p, p iFrame 540/25p or HS movies). To resume recording, press the k button again. If recording remains paused for more than 5 minutes or the b (e movie-record) button is pressed, recording ends. B Notes on Using Zoom During Movie Recording • The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording. • When the digital zoom is used, the image quality will deteriorate. • If you start recording a movie without using digital zoom, and you keep rotating the zoom control toward g (i), the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Remove your finger from the zoom control and then rotate it again toward g (i) to activate digital zoom. When movie recording ends, digital zoom is cancelled. 93 Recording and Playing Back Movies
