the
way
down

it
in this position until
the
shutter
is

movie file can be
up
to
4

and
20

Recording Movies
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in
the
monitor
and in
the
final movie
under
fluorescent, mercury vapor,
or
sodium lamps
or
ifthe
camera
is
panned horizontally
or
an
object moves at high speed
through
frame (flicker and banding
can
be reduced by choosing
a Flicker reduction
option
that
matches
the
frequency
ofthe
local
AC
power
supply;
QJ
11).
Bright
light
sources may leave after-images when
the
camera
is
panned. Jagged edges,
color fringing, moire, and
bright
spots may also appear. 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.
Live view may end automatically
to
prevent damage
to
the
camera's internal circuits; exit live
view when
the
camera
is
not
in
use.
Note
that
the
temperature
of
the
camera's internal
circuits may rise and noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced
bright
pixels,
or
fog) may be
displayed in
the
following instances (the camera may also become noticeably warm,
but
this
does
not
indicate a malfunction):
• The ambient temperature
is
high
• The camera
has
been used for extended periods in live view
or
to
record movies
• The camera
has
been used in continuous release mode for extended periods
Ifa warning
is
displayed when you
attempt
to
start live view or movie recording, wait for
the
internal circuits
to
cool and then
try
again.
Matrix metering
is
used regardless
of
the
metering method selected. Shutter speed and
ISO
sensitivity are adjusted automatically.
~
The Count-Down Display
A
count
down
will be displayed 30 sbefore movie recording ends automatically
(QJ
48).
Depending on shooting conditions, the
timer
may appear immediately when movie
recording begins. Note
that
regardless
of
the
amount
of
recording
time
available, live view
will still end automatically when
the
timer
expires. Wait for
the
internal circuits
to
cool
before resuming movie recording.
