Using the Movie mode
In Movie mode, you can record HD videos of up to 20 minutes in length. When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically stops recording even if the
maximum recording time has not been reached. The camera saves recorded videos as MJPEG files.
•
If you use memory cards with slow write speeds, the camera may not save videos properly. Video recordings may be corrupted or fail to play back correctly.
•
Memory cards with slow writing speeds will not support high-resolution videos. To record high-resolution videos, use memory cards with faster write speeds.
•
If you use the zoom function when recording a video, the camera may record the noise of the zoom operating. To decrease zoom noise, use the Sound Alive function. See Steps 7 and
8 below.
