Movie Shooting Cautions
White  and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
  If the camera’s internal temperatu re increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or under a high am bient temperature, a white  or red < E> 
icon will appear.
  The white < s> icon indicates that the image  quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. You should stop still ph oto shooting and allow the camera’s 
internal temperature to  cool before shooting again. Since movie image 
quality will hardly be affect ed, you can still shoot movies.
  The red   icon indicates that  movie shooting will soon be terminated 
automatically. If this happens, you will  not be able to shoot again until the 
camera’s internal temperature decrea ses. Turn off the power and let the 
camera rest for a while.
  Shooting a movie at a high temperatur e for a prolonged period will cause 
the < s> or < E> icon to appear earlier. Wh en you are not shooting, turn 
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
  If the attached lens has an Imag e Stabilizer and you set the Image 
Stabilizer (IS) switch to < 1>, the Image Stabilizer  will operate at all 
times even if you do no t press the shutter button halfway. The Image 
Stabilizer consumes ba ttery power and may sh orten the total movie 
shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a 
tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is no t necessary, it is recommended to set 
the IS switch to < 2>.
  The camera’s built-in microphone will  also pick up camera operation 
noise. Using a commercially-available external microp hone can prevent 
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
  Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
camera’s external micr ophone IN terminal.
  If the brightness changes  during autoexposure movi e shooting, that part 
may look momentarily  still when you play back  the movie. In such cases, 
shoot movies with manual exposure.
  If there is a very bright  light source in the pict ure, the bright area may 
appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded in almost 
the same way you see it  on the LCD monitor.
  In low light, noise or irregular colors  may appear in the image. The movie 
will be recorded in al most the same way you se e it on the LCD monitor.

Movie Shooting CautionsRecording and Image Quality
 If you use a card with a slow  writing speed, a five-level 
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie 
shooting. It indicates how  much data has not yet been 
written to the card (remaining ca pacity of the internal buffer 
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will 
climb upward. If the indicator  becomes full, movie shooting 
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing sp eed, the indicator will either 
not appear or the level (if disp layed) will hardly go upward. 
First, shoot a few test mo vies to see if the card can write fast enough.
Still Photo Shooting  during Movie Shooting
  Regarding the image quality of still ph otos, see “Image Quality” on page 
249.
Playback and TV connection
  If you connect the  camera to a TV set (p.316 , 319) and shoot a movie, 
the TV will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
sound will be p roperly recorded.
