Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie
shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
If you take still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting may
stop. Setting a low image-recording quality for still images may resolve
this problem.
Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting
Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page
151.
Playback and TV set connection
If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.222) and
shoot a movie at [
1920x1080 ] or [ 1280x720 ], the movie being shot will
be displayed in a small size on the TV set. The movie will still be
recorded in the movie-recording size that was set.
If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.222) and shoot a movie, the TV
set will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound
will be properly recorded.
