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 ( A23). 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 toward g, the zoom stops at the maximum
optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control once, then rotate it again toward g to trigger digital
zoom. When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.
• 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 (
A104).
• Smear ( F3) 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.
• The flash does not fire.

Notes on Autofocus
• When Autofocus mode in the movie menu ( A101) is set to A Single AF (default setting),
the focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• Autofocus may not perform as expected ( A33). 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
• 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 while recording a movie, recording automatically stop after
30 seconds.
The remaining amount of recording time (B30s) is displayed on
the monitor.
The camera turns off in 5 seconds after movie recording
automatically stops.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled
and then use it.
