Notes on Using Zoom During Movie Recording
• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality will deteriorate.
• If you start recording a movie without using digital zoom, and you keep rotating the zoom control
toward g(i), the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Remove your finger from the
zoom control and then rotate it again toward g(i) to activate digital zoom. When movie
recording ends, digital zoom is cancelled.

Note on Recording Images and Saving Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum
movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an
indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the
memory card.

Notes on Movie Recording
• When saving a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or
higher is recommended ( A17). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may
end unexpectedly.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control
when the brightness changes may be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor screen while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,
may appear skewed
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved

Notes on the 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.
• When the temperature inside the camera becomes extremely high during movie recording, the
camera may automatically stop recording to prevent internal damage to the camera. The message
“The camera will turn off to prevent overheating.” and a 10-second countdown indicator
(B10s) are displayed on the monitor until the camera automatically stops recording and is turned
off when it automatically stops recording. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has
cooled and then use it.
