Still Photo Shooting
Cautions for Movie Shooting
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
When you press the shutter button halfway to autofocus during movie
shooting, the following phenomena may occur.
• Focus may become far off momentarily.
• The brightness of the recorded movie may change.
• The recorded movie may be momentarily still.
• The movie may record the lens mechanical sound.
If <
Q
> or <
Q
w
> 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 image
may flicker.
Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform
zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may
result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the
lens, or images may be out of focus.
During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press
the <
u
> button.
Be careful not to cover the built-in microphones (p.234) with your fingers,
etc.
If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the
movie shooting will end.
General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 278-279.
If necessary, also read “General Live View Shooting Cautions” on
pages 230-231.
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 or blistering due to low-temperature
contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended when using the camera in
very hot places or for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin.
