 # When the camera is used continuously for extended periods, the temperature of the 
image sensor will rise and noise and color splotches may be visible in the display. 
Should this occur, turn the camera o and wait for it to cool. Noise and color splotches 
are particularly likely to occur at high ISO sensitivities. If the temperature of the sensor 
increases further, the camera will turn o automatically.
 # When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
 # When high-speed movie recording is selected for [nK], movies shot with [i-Enhance] or 
an art lter selected for picture mode will be recorded in [Natural] mode.
 # The sound of touch operations and button operations may be recorded.
 # CMOS image sensors of the type used in the camera generate a so-called “rolling 
shutter” eect that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is 
a phenomenon that occurs in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved 
during shooting. It is particularly noticeable in pictures taken at long focal lengths.
 # When an SDXC card is used, movies up to 3 hours long can be recorded. Movies over 3 
hours are recorded over multiple les (depending on shooting conditions, the camera may 
start recording to a new le before the 3-hour limit is reached). 
 # When an SD/SDHC card is used, movies over 4 GB in size are recorded over multiple 
les (depending on shooting conditions, the camera may start recording to a new le 
before the 4 GB limit is reached).
