Notes on Movie Recording
•
When recording a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or
higher is recommended (
167). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may
end unexpectedly.
•
When recording movies, the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) is narrower than that
of still pictures.
•
Using a digital zoom causes image quality to deteriorate. If you start recording the movie without
using digital zoom, and you rotate the zoom control toward
g
, the zoom stops at the maximum
optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again toward
g
to trigger digital zoom.
When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.
•
The sound of using the zoom control, zoom, autofocus, vibration reduction or aperture control
when the brightness changes may be recorded.
•
The following phenomena may be seen on the monitor while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,
may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.
