Notes About Movie Recording B Notes About Saving Images or Movies The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card. B Notes About Recorded Movies • There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. • The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded. • The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies. - Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium- vapor lighting. - Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed. - The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned. - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved. • Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction. B Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording • When Movie VR (E81) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording. • When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during recording, set Movie VR to Off to prevent potential errors caused by this function. B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording Autofocus may not perform as expected (E17). Should this occur, try the following: 1. Set AF area mode to Center and Autofocus mode to Single AF (default setting) in the movie menu before starting movie recording. 2. Frame another subject-positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject-in the center of the frame, press the b (e) button to start recording, and then modify the composition.

Notes About Movie Recording

Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing

the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved.

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the

battery or memory card

while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in

loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

Notes About Recorded Movies

•

There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.

•

The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement,

vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be

recorded.

•

The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies.

These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.

Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-

vapor lighting.

Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a

moving train or car, may appear skewed.

The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.

Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is

moved.

•

Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored

stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,

etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the

subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a

malfunction.
