Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality

If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer
(IS) to <
1
>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you do not
press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes battery
power and may shorten the total movie shooting time or decrease the number
of possible shots depending on shooting conditions. If you use a tripod or if
the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended to set the IS to
<
2
>.

The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation noise.
Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent (or reduce)
these noises from being recorded.

Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal.

If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part may
look momentarily still when you play back the movie. In such cases, shoot
movies with manual exposure.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may appear
black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded in almost the same way
you see it on the LCD monitor.

In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie will
be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.

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.
