IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become 
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can 
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the 
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop 
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,...
