Recording Movie Images and Audio

NOTE

• 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.

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when

shooting a movie.

– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers,

etc.

– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is

too far away from what you are trying to record.

– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button

noise to be picked up in the audio.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the

monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

• Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow

down processing speeds, and even can make it impossible to store High Quality

movies correctly. Also, use of certain types of memory cards slows down data

transfer and increases the time it takes to record movie data, which can result in

breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the » and Y

flash on the monitor screen.

• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical

zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing

[0] (Movie) to start recording.

• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you

shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is

recommended under these conditions.

• Focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress.
