Solution

The details on how to shoot movies are described below.

You can press the <Shutter Button>, and the camera will start recording movies automatically.

Please note that if movies are shot over a long period of time, the temperature of the camera may increase. This is not a malfunction.

Important:
  • Do not touch the <Microphone> during shooting. If buttons other than the <Shutter Button> are operated during shooting, the operation sound will also be recorded.
  • The optical zoom cannot be used during movie-recording. You can use the digital zoom, but images may appear coarse.

1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.

2. Press the <Mode> () button.

3. The following screen appears.

Operate the <directional button> to select the [Movie] () menu.

After making a selection, press the <FUNC./SET> () button.

4. The following screen appears.

The maximum shooting duration appears on the [LCD Monitor].

5. Hold the camera facing the subject, and press the <Zoom Button> to decide the size at which you want to capture the subject.

6. Press the <Shutter Button> halfway to focus. When the camera focuses, it beeps twice.

7. Press the <Shutter Button> fully to start shooting.

When the camera starts shooting, [Elapsed Time] and [Rec] appear on the [LCD Monitor].

Once shooting begins, take your finger off the <Shutter Button>.

If you change the composition of your shot during shooting, the focus will stay the

same, but the brightness and tone will automatically adjust.

8. Press the <Shutter Button> again to stop shooting.

Note:

  • The camera will beep once and stop shooting the movie.
  • The movie will record to the memory card.
  • Shooting will automatically stop when the memory card fills.
  • Recording may stop even if the maximum clip length has not been reached on some memory cards. SD Speed Class 4 or higher memory cards are recommended.
