Notes About Saving Images or Movies
• The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory
card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to
the camera or the memory card.

card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to
the camera or the memory card.
• When using the camera's internal memory, recording movies may take some time.
• Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to record the movie in the
internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.

Notes About Recording at Low Temperature
When the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), movies with the size/frame rate set to
d 2160/30p (4K UHD), c 2160/25p (4K UHD), e 1080/60p, f 1080/50p,
h HS 480/4×, a HS 480/4×, j HS 1080/0.5×, or Y HS 1080/0.5× cannot be
recorded.
• If the battery temperature goes below 0°C (32°F) before you start recording, the size/frame
d 2160/30p (4K UHD), c 2160/25p (4K UHD), e 1080/60p, f 1080/50p,
h HS 480/4×, a HS 480/4×, j HS 1080/0.5×, or Y HS 1080/0.5× cannot be
recorded.
• If the battery temperature goes below 0°C (32°F) before you start recording, the size/frame
rate of the movie switches to e 1080/30p or S 1080/25p.
• If the size/frame rate of the movie is set to d 2160/30p (4K UHD), c 2160/25p (4K
UHD), e 1080/60p, f 1080/50p, h HS 480/4×, a HS 480/4×, j HS
1080/0.5×, or Y HS 1080/0.5× and the battery temperature goes below 0°C (32°F)
while recording, the camera may stop recording and turn off automatically. The recorded
movie is saved.

Notes About Recorded Movies
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, movie
vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen on the screen 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
- 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.
- 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, colored stripes
may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) 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.

Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording
• When Movie VR (A146) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of view (i.e.,
the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off to
prevent potential errors caused by this function.
