■ Movie Recording Precautions
• This camera also records audio. Note the following points
when recording a movie.
— Take care that you do not
block the microphone with
your fingers.
— Good recording results are
not possible when the
camera is too far from the
subject.
— Operating camera buttons
during recording can cause
button noise to be included
in the audio.
— Movie audio is recorded in
monaural.
• Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical
band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a
CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does
not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical
smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a
snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
Microphone
• The movie recording capacity of built-in memory is very
small. Use of a memory card (page 171) is recommended
when recording movies.
• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,
which can cause movie frames to be dropped. and
REC
flash on the monitor screen during recording to let
you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD
memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least
10MB per second is recommended.
• Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording. Digital
zoom only is available. Make sure you select the optical
zoom setting you want to use before you press the
shutter button to start movie recording (page 102).
• The effects of camera movement in an image become
more pronounced when you record close ups or recording
with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod
is recommended when recording close ups or recording
with a large zoom factor.
• Images may be out of focus if the subject is outside the
shooting range of the camera.
• Macro uses fixed focus that is optimized for macro
recording.
