Recording and Viewing Movies
Recording Movies
Movies are recorded with sound via the camera’s built-in microphone as
QuickTime files with the extension “.MOV”. The files can be played back on
a computer after transfer.
Notes on Movies
Depending on the memory card, recording may end before the memory is full and “CANNOT
RECORD MOVIE.” is displayed. The incomplete recording is stored as a movie.
Do not touch the microphone during recording.

Flash (P.28) is B (Flash Cancel) except when recording a time-lapse movie.
Self-timer (P.30) is OFF.

Metering (P.79) is Matrix.
While recording a movie, only digital zoom (up to 2×) can be used (time-lapse movie: up to 4×).
Adjust the zoom before recording. When recording starts, the optical zoom position is fixed.
•Only W (Normal) is available for Vibration reduction (P.48).
