Recording Movie Images and Audio

The length of the movie you can record will depend on the quality setting you select.

the subject and then press
[
] (Movie).
This will start recording and display
on
the monitor screen.
Movie recording includes monaural audio.

•
The maximum allowed for a single movie
recording is 4 GB in file size or
29 minutes in length. Movie recording stops automatically when either of these limits
is reached.
Shooting with Scene Mode
With Scene Mode, you can select the sample scene that matches the type of movie you are
trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for beautiful movies every
time. Selecting the Scene Mode scene named Night Scene, for example, will configure the
camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.
NOTE
•
Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm
to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
•
The camera also records audio. Note the following points when
shooting a movie.
–
Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers, etc.
–
Good recording results are not possible when the camera is too
far away from what you are trying to record.
–
Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise
to be picked up in the audio.
•
Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast
on the monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.
•
When using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take
too much time to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This
condition is indicated by
and
flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of
movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per
second is recommended.
•
The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot
close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended
