Notes on Movie Shooting
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same
body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact
burns. The use of a tripod is recommended for people with circulation
problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may
damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
If <
Q
> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie
shooting, the white balance may also change.
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may
flicker.
Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming
the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the
lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be
recorded as a result.
During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press
the <
u
> button.
Be careful not to cover the microphone (p.252) with your finger, etc.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 287 and 288.
If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages
249 and 250.
Movie-related settings are under the [
Z
1
] and [
Z
2
] tabs (p.273).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new file will be created for every subsequent 4 GB.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [
A
]).
You can also focus the image by pressing the <
p
> button.
To focus during movie shooting, press the <
p
> button. You cannot
focus by pressing the shutter button.
The sound will be recorded in stereo by the camera’s built-in
microphone.
Most commercially-available external stereo microphones with a 3.5 mm
diameter mini plug can be connected to the camera.
