Recording Images

• Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically 

after 29 minutes of recording. Movie recording also will stop automatically if 
memory becomes full before you stop movie recording.

You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during 
movie recording. Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject 
movement.

• 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.

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points 

when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is 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 a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or 

a pink cast on the monitor screen image. This does not 
indicate malfunction.

• Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to 

be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie 
recording.

• Use of certain types of memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the 

time it takes to record movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. 
The movie icon turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order to 
avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card 
is recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the 
operation of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.

• Single SR Zoom (page 44) is disabled during movie recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you 

shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is 
recommended under these conditions.
