Notes About Saving Movies
After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until
monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card
slot cover. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is being saved may result in loss
of the movie data or damage to the camera or to the memory card.

Notes About Movie Recording
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording
movies ( F22). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed
Class rating are used.
• The optical zoom ratio cannot be changed once recording starts.
• Use the multi selector H or I to operate digital zoom while recording movies. The zoom range is
between the optical zoom ratio before recording a movie and up to 4×.
• Image quality degrades when digital zoom is used. When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.
• The sounds of multi selector operation, autofocus lens drive movement, and aperture operation
when brightness changes may be recorded.
• Smear (F4) visible in the monitor with movie recording is recorded with movies. Avoiding bright
objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating
patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.)
in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the
layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

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.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will
automatically stop recording after 10 seconds.
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (u10s) is displayed.
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
