~ Recording Movies
• When filming movies, you may notice the following in the display. These
phenomena will also be visible in any footage recorded with the
camera.
- Flicker or banding in scenes lit by such sources as fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps
- Distortion associated with motion (individual subjects such as trains
or cars moving at high speed through the frame may be distorted, or
the entire frame may appear distorted when the camera is panned
horizontally)
- Jagged edges, color fringing, moire, and bright spots in the display
- Bright regions or bands in scenes lit by flashing signs and other
intermittent light sources or when the subject is briefly illuminated by
a strobe or other bright, momentary light source
- Flicker occurring while power aperture is in use
• Note that noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) and
unexpected colors may appear if you use the~ (QUAL) button to zoom
in on the view through the lens during filming.
• Movie recording will end automatically if:
- The maximum length is reached
- The live view selector is rotated to another setting
- The lens is removed
• When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other
strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the camera's internal circuitry.
