R Before recording, select a frame size using the O QUALITY option in the shooting
menu. Select h 1280 (1280 × 720) for an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 (High Defi nition),
f (640 × 480) to record standard defi nition movies, or g (320 × 240) for longer
movies.
R Focus, exposure, and white balance are adjusted automatically throughout record-
ing. The color and brightness of the image may vary from that displayed before
recording begins.
R Sounds made by the camera may be recorded.
Q Do not open the battery-chamber cover during shooting or saving a movie on a
memory card. Failure to observe this precaution could prevent the movie from
being played back.
Q Vertical or horizontal streaks may appear in movies containing very bright subjects.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Q The temperature of the camera may rise if it is used to record movies for an ex-
tended period or if the ambient temperature is high. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
