in step 2.
3  Using Movie Digital Zoom
 Use a tripod to pr event camera shake.
  If you use movie digital zoom, co ntrast-detection AF will be used 
regardless of the lens used. The AF  speed will therefore become slow.
  When movie digital zoom is set, th e maximum ISO speed will be ISO 
6400 (it cannot be expa nded to H: equivalent to ISO 12800). Also, 
magnified view is not possible.
  Since movie digital zoom processes th e image digitally, the image will 
look rougher at hi gher magnifications. Noise,  light spots, etc., may also 
become noticeable.
  When movie digital zoom is set, th e scene icon will not be displayed.
 
Also see “Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult” on page 241.  Still photo shooting is not possible.

You can shoot movies while recording 
sound with the built-in stereo 
microphone or a commercially-available 
stereo microphone. You can also freely 
adjust the sound-recording level.
Set the sound recording with [Z2: 
Sound recording ].
[Auto] : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto 
level control will operate automat ically in response to the 
sound level.
[Manual ] : For advanced users. You c an adjust the sound-recording 
level to one of 64 levels.
Select [ Rec. level] and look at the level meter while turning 
the < 5> dial to adjust the sound-recording level. While 
looking at the peak hold indicator  (3 sec.), adjust so that the 
level meter sometimes lights up  the “12” (-12 dB) mark on 
the right for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the sound 
will be distorted.
[Disable ] : Sound will not be recorded.
[Wind filter ] : When [Enable ] is set, it reduces the wind noise when 
recording outdoors. This feature takes effect only with 
the built-in microphone.
Note that [ Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so 
set this function to [Disable] when there is no wind. It 
will record a more natural sound than with [ Enable].
[Attenuator ] : Even if [Sound rec.] is set to [ Auto] or [Manual] before 
shooting, sound distortion may still result if there is a 
very loud sound. In such  a case, setting it to [Enable] is 
recommended.

 Using the Microphone
The built-in microphone records stereo sound.
Stereo sound recording is also pos sible by connecting an external 
stereo microphone (commercially-available) equipped with a 
miniature stereo plug ( φ3.5 mm) to the camera’s external 
microphone IN terminal (p.20).
  In Basic Zone modes, th e settings available for [Sound recording] will 
be [ On/Off ]. If [On] is set, the sound- recording level will be adjusted 
automatically (same as with [ Auto]), but the wind filter  function will not 
take effect.
  The sound volume balance between L  (left) and R (right) cannot be 
adjusted.
  Both L and R record audio at a  48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.

The time code is a time reference 
recorded automatically to synchronize 
the video and audio during movie 
shooting. It is recorded at all times in the 
following units: hours, minutes, seconds, 
and frames. It is mainly used during 
movie editing.
Set the time code with [Z2: Time 
code ].
[Rec run ] : The time code counts up only  while you are shooting a 
movie.
[Free run ] : The time code counts up whet her you are shooting or not.
You can set the time code’s start time.
[Manual input setting ] : You can freely set the hour, minute, second, 
and frames.
[Reset ] : The time will be reset to the time set with 
[Manual input setting ] and [Set to camera 
time ]. It will be “00:00:00.” or “00:00:00:” 
(p.272).
[Set to camera time] : Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match  the camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be 
set to 00.
3 Setting the Time Code
Count Up
Start Time Setting
 Shooting still photos during movie  shooting will cause a discrepancy 
between the actual ti me and time code.
  If [Free run ] is set and you chang e the time, zone, or daylight saving 
time (p.37), the time code will be affected.
  The time code is not reco rded for video snapshots.
Regardless of the [Movie rec count] setting, the time  code will always be 
recorded to th e movie file.
