D Photography and video recording
･ Y
ou may notice the following in the shooting display. These phenomena
will also be visible in any photos or footage recorded with the camera.
- Flicker or banding in scenes lit by such sources as uorescent, mercury
vapor, or sodium lamps
- Moving objects in the display appear distorted (individual subjects such
as trains or cars moving at high speed through the frame may be
distorted, or the entire frame may appear distorted when the camera is
panned horizontally)
- Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré , and bright spots may appear in the
display
- Bright regions or bands may appear in scenes lit by ashing signs and
other intermittent light sources or when the subject is briey
illuminated by a strobe or other bright, momentary light source
- Flicker occurring when power aperture is used during video recording
･ Note that noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) and
unexpected colors may appear if you use the
X
button to zoom in on the
view through the lens during recording.
･ When recording, 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.
