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 (
A21). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may
end unexpectedly.
• Using the digital zoom causes image quality to deteriorate. If you start recording the movie
without using digital zoom, and you keep pressing the zoom button
g, the zoom stops at the
maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom button and press again
g to trigger digital zoom.
When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.
• The sound using the zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control when the
brightness changes may be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor 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
