89 Recording Movies Recording and Playing Back Movies BNotes About Movie Recording •Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (A19). When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop unexpectedly. •There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. If the digital zoom is not being used when movie recording begins, rotating and holding the zoom control at g zooms the image using optical zoom and the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. After letting go of the zoom control, rotate the zoom control to g again to magnify the image using the digital zoom. •When recording ends, digital zoom turns off. •The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation 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 images 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 BCamera Temperature •The camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area. •If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording after 30 seconds. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B30 s) is displayed. Five seconds after the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled. BNotes About Autofocus Autofocus may not perform as expected, as explained in “Autofocus” (A29). Try the following methods when recording movies of these kinds of subjects. 1. Before shooting, set Autofocus mode to A Single AF (default setting) in the movie menu. 2. Aim the camera so that another subject positioned the same distance from the camera as the desired subject is in the center of the monitor, press the b (e movie-record) button, and then aim at the desired subject after recording starts. 12m30s12m30s Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
