Introduction Other Information • Symbols and Conventions To make it easier to find the information you need, the following symbols and conventions are used in this manual: Symbol B C A/E/F Description This icon indicates cautions and information that should be read before using the camera. [. . . ] • The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording 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. - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved. • Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc. ) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc. ) in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction. 90 B Notes About Using Zoom During Movie Recording • The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording. • There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. If you zoom in on the subject while recording a movie, the zoom motion temporarily stops at the position where optical zoom is changed to digital zoom. B Camera Temperature Recording and Playing Back Movies • The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area. • If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is displayed. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled. Focusing and Exposure Locking During Movie Recording • The focus can be adjusted during movie recording in the following manner in accordance with the Autofocus mode (A93) setting of the movie menu. - A Single AF (default setting): The focus is locked when movie recording starts. To perform the autofocus function during movie recording, press the multi selector J. - B Full-time AF: The focus is adjusted repeatedly even during movie recording. • When the multi selector K is pressed during movie recording, the exposure is locked. • When the focus mode (A65) is E (manual focus), adjust the focus manually. The focus can be adjusted while recording movies by rotating the multi selector counterclockwise to focus on far subjects or clockwise to focus on near subjects. Should this occur, try E (manual focus) (A66, 67) or set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) and then use focus lock (A83) to record. 91 Saving Still Images While Recording Movies If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way while recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still image (JPEG image). • The maximum number of still images that can be saved during a movie recording (10 7m23s images) and Q are displayed at the top left of the monitor. • The image size of the still images to be saved is set to i (1920 × 1080 pixels). Recording and Playing Back Movies B Notes About Saving Still Images During Movie Recording • Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations. - When movie recording is paused - When a movie is recorded to the internal memory - When the remaining movie length is less than 10 seconds - When Movie options (A93) is set to n 1080/60i, q 1080/50i, g 480/30p, s 480/25p or HS movie • Frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being taken may not be played back in a seamless manner. • The sounds of operating the shutter-release button when saving a still image may be heard in the recorded movie.
