Recording Movies
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the display and in the
final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the
camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed
through frame (flicker and banding can be reduced by choosing a
Flicker reduction option that matches the frequency of the local AC
power supply, but note that the slowest shutter speed available is
1
/ 100 s
at 50 Hz,
1
/ 60 s at 60 Hz; flicker reduction is not available with slow-
motion movies). Bright light sources may leave after-images when the
camera is panned. Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and bright
spots may also appear. When recording movies, avoid pointing the
camera at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.
The built-in flash and optional flash units will not fire during movie
recording or when the camera is in advanced movie mode.
