Recording Movies
Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo)
during movie recording.
• Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording
movies (page 116).
. Recording Precautions
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphones are not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
– Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus
noise to be in the audio recording.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked
up in the audio.
• When shooting with the “HS” movie quality at a frame rate setting of
“30-120 fps” or “30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at
30 fps. Audio is not recorded at any other frame rates (page 113).
IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Use of the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speeds. In particular, high-quality movies may not be able to be
stored correctly. A slow memory card can take too much time to record data and
result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. When this happens a
yellow “Y” indicator will appear on the monitor screen.
