Basic operations of movie recording and movie playback
Notes about recorded movies
• The sounds of zoom control operation, side dial operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive
movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may
be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen on the 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.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.)
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.
Notes about autofocus for movie recording
For “ Subjects not suitable for autofocus (page 111)”, autofocus may not perform as
expected. Should this occur, focus using manual focus ( Using manual focus (page 113))
or try the following:
1 Select the movie menu [ Autofocus mode ] [ Single AF ] (default setting) before
starting movie recording.
2 Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the
( ) button to start
recording, and modify the composition.
