70 Recording and Playing Back Movies Notes About Movie Recording BNotes About Saving Images or Movies The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the batteries or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card. BNotes About Recorded Movies • When using the camera’s internal memory, saving movies may take some time. • There may be some degradation in imag e quality when digital zoom is used. • The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture oper ation when brightness changes may be recorded. • The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies. - Banding may occur in imag es under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium- vapor lighting. - Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed. - The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned. - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved. • Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeat ing patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction. BNotes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording •When Movie VR (A 101) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording. • When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off to prevent potential errors caused by this function. BNotes About Autofocus for Movie Recording Autofocus may not perform as expected ( A53). Should this occur, try the following: 1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default se tting) before starting movie recording. 2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and modify the composition.
