About the operation sound that is produced when you stop recording
Since motion picture recording stops only after you press the motion picture button, the
sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following:
–
Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide] (P242) in the [Playback]
menu.
The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record
approximately 3 seconds longer.
– Set the camera to Creative Video Mode, and use a shutter remote control (optional) to
record motion pictures. (P353)
