Movie Shooting Cautions
White  and Red  Internal Temperature Warning Icons If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white  or red  
icon will appear.
 The white  icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. It is recommended that you stop still photo shooting for a 
while and allow the camera to cool down. Since movie image quality will 
hardly be affected, 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 decreases. Turn off the power and let the 
camera rest for a while.
 Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause 
the  or  icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn 
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image 
Stabilizer (IS) switch to , the Image Stabilizer will operate at all 
times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image 
Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie 
shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a 
tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended that 
you set the IS switch to .
 The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation 
noise.
 If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting or if AF 
operates during movie shooting, that part may look momentarily still 
when you play back the movie.
 If there is a very bright light source in the picture, 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 almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording 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 capacity 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 speed, the indicator will either 
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. 
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough. 
If you take still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting may 
stop. Setting a low image-recording quality for still images may resolve 
this problem.
Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page 
151.
Playback and TV set connection If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.222) and 
shoot a movie at [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the movie being shot will 
be displayed in a small size on the TV set. The movie will still be 
recorded in the movie-recording size that was set.
 If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.222) and shoot a movie, the TV 
set will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound 
will be properly recorded.
