General Movie Shooting Cautions
Red <
E
> Internal Temperature Warning Icon
z
If a red <
E
> icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so
stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the
card. (Do not remove the card immediately.)
z
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a red <
E
> icon will appear.
z
The red <
E
> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
z
Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the
<
E
> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn off the
camera.
Recording and Image Quality
z
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer
(IS) switch to <
1
>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if
you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes
battery power and may shorten the total movie shooting time depending on
the shooting conditions. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to <
2
>.
z
The camera’s built-in microphones will also record the operation sound and
mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Using the Directional
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) may reduce these sounds in the
movie.
z
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal.
z
If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, the movie
image may freeze temporarily. In such a case, shoot movies with manual
exposure.
z
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear
black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost exactly as it
appears on the LCD monitor.
z
In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie will
be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
z
If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may
decline or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support MP4
format).
