Basic Operations of Movie Recording and Movie Playback

B

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.

B

• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, 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 

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.

• 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.

B

• When Movie VR (A131) 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 recording, set Movie VR to Off to 

prevent potential errors caused by this function.

B

Autofocus may not perform as expected (

A64). Should this occur, try the following:

1. Set AF area mode to Center and Autofocus mode to Single AF (default setting) in the 

movie menu before starting movie recording.

2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended 

subject) in the center of the frame, press the 

b (e) button to start recording, and modify 

the composition.
