Recording Movies
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the
final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the
camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed
through frame (for information on reducing flicker and banding, see
Flicker reduction,
0 184). Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and
bright spots may also appear. Bright bands may appear in some areas of
the frame with flashing signs and other intermittent light sources or if
the subject is briefly illuminated by a flash or other bright, momentary
light source. When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at the
sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.
The camera can record both video and sound; do not cover the
microphone during recording. Note that the built-in microphone may
record lens noise during autofocus.
Note that the temperature of the camera’s internal circuits may rise and
noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be
displayed if the camera is used continuously for extended periods (the
camera may also become noticeably warm, but this does not indicate a
malfunction).
If the ambient temperature is high or the camera has been used for
extended periods, particularly in continuous release mode, a warning
may be displayed and the camera may turn off automatically to prevent
damage to its internal circuits. If a temperature warning is displayed
when you turn the camera on, allow the camera to turn off and wait for
the internal circuits to cool before trying again.
