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 to
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will be recorded in
the case of a movie.
• When using 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 129).
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing
[0] (Movie) to start recording.
• 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.
• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page
57).
