193 3 Movie Menu Function Settings Grid display With [Grid 1 l] or [ Grid 2 m], you can display grid lines to help you level the camera vertically or horizontally. Metering timer N You can change how long the exposure se tting is displayed (AE lock time). Movie recording size You can set the movie recording size (image size and frame rate). For details, see pages 181-182. Sound recording N Normally, the built-in microphone will record stereo sound.

194 3 Movie Menu Function Settings [Wind filter ] When set to [ Enable], it reduces wind noise when there is wind 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 you set [ Sound recording ] to [Auto ] or [Manual ] and shoot, sound distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case, setting it to [ Enable] is recommended. Video snapshot You can shoot video snapshots. For details, see page 183. 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]).

195 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 ambi ent temperature, a white icon < s> will appear. Even if you shoot a movie wh ile this icon is displayed, the movie’s image quality will hardly be affected. However, if you shoot still photos, the image qualit y of the still photos may deteriorate. It is recommended to stop still photo sh ooting for a while and allow the camera to cool down. If the camera’s internal temperatu re further increases while the white icon < s> is displayed, a red icon will start blinking. This blinking icon indicates that movie shooting will soon stop automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. 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> and < E> icons to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn off the camera. Recording 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-availabl e external microphone 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. COPY
196 Movie Shooting Cautions Recording 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 ca rd has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either not app ear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. First, shoo t a few test movies to see if the card can writ e fast enough. If there is a very bright light source in the pict ure, the bright area may appear black on the LCD monitor. In movies, the bright areas will be recorded in almost th e same way you see it on the LCD monitor. Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting Regarding the image quality of still ph otos, see “Image Quality” on page 165. TV Connection If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.258 , 261) and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be p roperly recorded.

197 Cautions when [Movie servo AF] is set to [Enable] Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult A fast-moving subject ap proaching or moving away from the camera. A subject moving at a close dist ance in front of the camera. Also refer to “Shooting co nditions that make focusing difficult” on page 159. • Since using Movie Servo AF will consume battery power, the number of possible shots and the po ssible movie shooting time will be reduced. • During zooming or image magnificatio n, Movie Servo AF operation will be stopped momentarily. • During movie shooting, if a subjec t approaches / moves away, or if the camera is moved vertically or horizontally (panning) the recorded movie image may momentarily expand or contract (change in image magnification).
