Focusing varies depending on the settings of the [Focus Mode] and the [Continuous AF] in the
[Motion Picture] menu.
• Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, operational sound may be recorded when the
Auto Focus is operated while recording a motion picture. It is recommended to record with
[Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if the sound of operation bothers you to
avoid recording the lens noise.
