Recording Movie Images and Audio
NOTE
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked
up in the audio.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.
• When using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can
take too much time to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or
audio. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To
avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed
of at least 10MB per second is recommended (page 163).
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is
recommended under these conditions.
• Movies are always recorded with the t (Auto) REC mode, regardless of the mode
dial’s A, S, or M setting.
