When recording a motion picture, the screen may go dark after a certain period to reduce
battery consumption, but this will not affect the recorded motion picture.
•
Depending on the environment at the time of motion picture recording, the screen may be
blacked out momentarily or the unit may record noise due to static electricity or powerful
electromagnetic waves (radio towers, high voltage power lines, etc.).

Use of [Silent Operation] is recommended if you are concerned about operational sounds.

While recording motion pictures, plugging the aperture of the microphone with a finger may
reduce the level of audio recording or audio may not record at all. Also be careful because the
operation sound of lenses can easily be recorded at this time.
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]
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.
