Mastering the basic operation
Recording movies
• The sound of the camera and the lens in operation might be recorded while
recording a movie.
• When you use a lens with a power zoom and find the sound of the zooming ring
during recording distracting, it is recommended that you use the zooming lever.
When you move the zooming lever, place your finger lightly on the lever and
operate so that you do not flip the lever.
• You can disable the sound recording by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Movie
Audio Rec] t [Off] (page 55).
• The continuous recording time of a movie depends on the ambient temperature or
the condition of the camera.
• When you record a movie continuously for a long time, the temperature of the
camera tends to rise, and you may feel that the camera is warm. However, this is
not a malfunction. Also, “Internal temp. high. Allow it to cool.” may appear. In
such cases, turn the camera off and wait until the camera is ready to shoot again.
