■ Movie Recording Precautions
• This camera also records audio. Note the following points
when recording a movie.
— Take care that you do not
block the microphone
with your fingers.
— Good recording results
are not possible when the
camera is too far from the
subject.
— Operating camera
buttons during recording
can cause button noise to
be included in the audio.
— Movie audio is recorded
in monaural.
• Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical
band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a
CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does
not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical
smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a
snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
