The camera combines 6 shots at high speed into 1 still image, so camera shake
is reduced while also preventing noise. By treating the person (subject) in the
foreground and the background separately, both camera shake and subject blur
are reduced. Avoiding use of the flash prevents over-exposure.

GB 41 Others In the P, A, S, or M mode, you can adjust the exposure even when recording movies. This enables you to produce more creative expression, by reducing the focus on the background, adjusting the brightness, etc. The sound of the lens and the camera in operation will also be recorded. Manual movie recording 1Press the MOVIE button. 2Adjust the exposure by using the control dials L/R and the control wheel. The items that can be adjusted vary depending on the shooting mode (page 13). Note zThe difference between [Anti Motion Blur] and [Hand-held Twilight] functions Just as with [Anti Motion Blur], the camera combines 6 shots into 1 still image with [Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Selection]. [Hand-held Twilight] is designed to be used when shooting a dark scene, such as a scene shot at night. When it becomes dark and camera-shake is likely to occur, the camera automatically increases the sensitivity and shoots at a shutter speed that reduces the effect of camera shake. [Anti Motion Blur] is designed to be used when shooting a subject in low light, such as when shooting indoors. The camera automatically increases the sensitivity and shoots the subject at a high speed shutter setting to reduce the blur caused by movement of the subject.

GB 46Number of recordable images When “0” (the number of recordable image s) flashes in yellow, the memory card is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images in the current memory card. Still imagesThe table shows the approximate number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are defined using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions. Image size: L 24M Aspect ratio: 3:2* (Units: images) * When [Aspect Ratio] is set to [16:9], you can record more images than the numbers shown in the table above (except for [RAW]). Once you insert a memory card into the camera and set the power switch to ON, the number of images that can be recorded (should you continue to shoot using the current settings) is displayed on the LCD monitor.

GB 47 Others MoviesThe table below shows the approximate recording times available. These are the total times for all movie files. Continuous recording is possible for approximately 29 minutes per recording. The maximum size of an MP4 movie file is about 2 GB. (h (hour), m (minute)) The recording time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-m oving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time is shorter because a lot of memory needed to record. The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject or the setting of image quality/size.

GB 48 The approximate number of images that can be recorded is as follows when you use the camera with the battery pack (supplied) at full capacity. Note that the actual numbers may be less depending on the conditions of use. The number was estimated with a battery pack at full capacity and under the following conditions: – At an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). – [Quality] is set to [Fine]. – [Autofocus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF]. – Shooting takes place once every 30 seconds. – The flash strobes with every second shot. – The power is turned off then on again once every 10 shots. – Using a battery pack that is charged for an hour after the CHARGE lamp goes out. – Using Sony “Memory Stick PRO D uo” media (sold separately). The measurement method is based on the CIPA standard. (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association) Number of still images that can be recorded using a battery pack LCD monitor mode Approx. 430 images Viewfinder mode Approx. 350 images
