Notes for Movie crop
Use a tripod to prevent hand-held camera shake.
The Movie crop image cannot be magnified for focusing.
Even if the AF mode has been set to [Quick mode], it will switch
automatically to [Live mode] during movie shooting. Also, in [Live
mode], the AF point is displayed larger than with other recording sizes.
Noise and dots of light may be more noticeable than in other recording
sizes.
Focusing may be difficult if the AF point covers both a near and far
subject.
Still photos cannot be taken.
