Notes on Using Zoom During Movie Recording
• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• The camera can zoom up to 2× with digital zoom during movie recording.
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality will deteriorate. When the movie options setting
is f HD 720p (1280×720) and g VGA (640×480), the digital zoom can be used up to
1.55× and 2×, respectively without causing the image quality deteriorate.
• If you start recording a movie without using digital zoom, and you keep rotating the zoom control
toward g, the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Remove your finger from the zoom
control and then rotate it again toward g to activate digital zoom. When movie recording ends,
digital zoom is cancelled.
• When Shooting mode ( A108) of the movie custom setting mode is set to Aperture-priority
auto or Manual, optical zoom cannot be used during movie recording.

Note on Recording Images and Saving Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum
movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an
indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the
memory card.

Notes on Movie Recording
• When saving a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or
higher is recommended ( A21). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may
end unexpectedly.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control
when the brightness changes may be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor screen while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,
may appear skewed
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved
• The flash does not fire.

Notes on the Camera Temperature
• The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of time or when
the camera is used in a hot area.
• When the temperature inside the camera becomes extremely
high during movie recording, the camera may automatically stop
recording to prevent internal damage to the camera. A 10-second
countdown indicator (B10s) appears on the monitor, and then
the camera will turn off after 5 seconds.
