Note
The operational sound of the zoom or button operation may be recorded when it is operated
during the recording of a motion picture.
When using the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), if you take your finger off the zoom lever or
focus lever during recording of a motion picture, the sound of the lever returning may be
recorded. When returning the lever to its starting position, do so quietly.

Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while after

When the aspect ratio setting is different in still and motion pictures, the angle of view changes
at the start of motion picture recording. When [Rec Area] (P158) is set to [ ], angle of view
during motion picture recording is displayed.
When the [Ex. Tele Conv.] is set to [ON], the angle of view will change when the screen is
switched between the still picture screen and motion picture screen, because the zoom factor is
different between still pictures and motion pictures. (P76)
Sound will not be recorded with [Miniature Effect] in Creative Control Mode.
With [Miniature Effect] in Creative Control Mode, approximately 1/8 of the time period is
recorded. (If you record for 8 minutes, the resulting motion picture recording will be
approximately 1 minute long)

Creative Control Mode, the camera may go on recording for a certain period. Please continue
to hold the camera until the recording finishes.
