Recording Movies

You can use the camera to record movies with sound.

The maximum file size for a single movie is 4 GB and the maximum movie length

for a single movie is 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the

memory card for longer recording (A 77).

1 Turn the camera on and display the shooting

mode screen.

• Movies can be recorded in any shooting mode

(A 34).

• The current movie options setting is displayed. The

default setting is HD720p (1280×720) (A 77).

2 Lower the built-in flash (A 6)

Recording movies while the built-in flash is raised may cause the audio to be muffled.

start recording.

• Recording begins after the monitor turns off

briefly.

• The camera focuses on the subject in the

center of the frame. The focus area is not

displayed while recording movies.

• When Movie options is set to x HD720p

(1280×720), the aspect ratio is 16:9 and the movie is

recorded as shown on the right.

• Digital zoom cannot be used while recording movies. If

digital zoom is used before recording, it will be

canceled when recording starts.

• The progress bar displayed at the bottom of the

monitor during recording indicates the amount of

recording time remaining. If recording time runs out, recording stops automatically.
