Shooting Movies

Movie shooting is enabled by

setting the Live View shooting/

Movie shooting switch to <k>.

The movie recording format will

be MOV.

Cards that can record movies

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a
fast writing/reading speed as shown in the table.

If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie
may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on
a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back
properly.

If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will
need an even faster card.

To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s Web site.
