Note that the shooting mode effects may not 
be obtained for some shooting modes.
 
● Sound is also recorded.
 
● When using a camera with a CMOS image 
sensor, moving objects may appear distorted 
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This 
is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion 
occurs in the fi  lmed image when shooting a 
fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking. 
In particular, this phenomenon becomes more 
noticeable when using a long focal length.
