Notes on Movie Recording
• When recording a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or
higher is recommended ( A221). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may
end unexpectedly.
• Using a digital zoom causes image quality to deteriorate. If you start recording the movie without
using digital zoom, and you rotate the zoom control in the g direction, the zoom stops at the
maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again in the g direction to
trigger digital zoom.
• The sound of using the zoom control, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control
when the brightness changes may be recorded. To minimize the recording of the zoom sound, set
Zoom speed in the setup menu to Auto (default setting) or Quiet (
A179).
• Smear ( A198) visible in the monitor when recording movies will be recorded with the movies.
Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording
movies is recommended.
B
Notes on Autofocus
• When Autofocus mode in the movie menu is set to A Single AF (default setting), the focus is
locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway ( A150).
• Autofocus may not perform as expected ( A29). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Before recording, set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting).
2. Position a different subject at the same distance in the middle of the screen. Press the shutter-
release button to start the movie recording, and change the composition.

Notes on the Camera Temperature
When functions such as movie recording are used for a long time, or when the camera is used in a location
with a high ambient temperature, the camera temperature may rise. This is not a malfunction.
