length of a movie that can be recorded.

the frame.
• A progress bar at the bottom of the
monitor shows the amount of recording
time remaining.

Shooting Movies
• Exposure compensation ( A39) is available. A (autofocus), D (macro close-up), and B (infinity)
are available for the focus mode ( A36). Flash (A32) can only be used for time-lapse movies. Self-
timer and smile timer/blink proof are disabled.
• Flash mode, focus mode and exposure compensation settings cannot be applied or changed while
movies are being recorded. Apply or change settings as necessary before movie recording begins.
• Optical zoom cannot be adjusted once movie recording begins. Digital zoom cannot be applied
before movie recording begins. However, digital zoom (up to 2×) can be applied while movies,
other than time-lapse movies, are being recorded.
• With the exception of time-lapse movies, the angle of view (field of view) when shooting movies
is smaller than when shooting still pictures.

revert to the normal shooting mode display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover while pictures are being recorded. Turning the camera off or removing the memory card while
movies are being recorded could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
