Recording Images
IMPORTANT!
• 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.
• When the movie quality setting is something other than
“HS120” or “HS240”, audio will be recorded along with the
movie image. Note the following points when shooting a
movie.
– Take care that the microphones are not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Use of the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speeds. In particular, high-quality movies may not be able to be
stored correctly. A slow memory card can take too much time to record data and
result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback.
NOTE
• Zoom operations are disabled during movie recording. To use zoom, perform the
zoom operation before you press [
0
] (Movie) to start recording.
