IMPORTANT
When digital zoom is set, the following conditions will apply:
  • Still photo shooting is not possible.
  • Since movie digital zoom processes the image digitally, the image will look rougher at higher magnifications. Noise, light spots, etc., may also become noticeable.
  • When movie digital zoom is set, the scene icon will not be displayed.
  • When movie digital zoom is set, the maximum ISO speed will be ISO 6400 (it cannot be expanded to H: equivalent to ISO 12800). Also, magnified view is not possible.
  • the camera will focus with [FlexiZone - Single] (fixed at center).
  • If you use movie digital zoom, contrast-detection AF will be used regardless of the lens used. The AF speed will therefore become slow.
  • Movie Servo AF will not work.
REFERENCE
  • Use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
  • If you would like the exposure control to be adjusted automatically, set the camera to a shooting mode other than <M>.

1. Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

2. Set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to <>.
The reflex mirror will make a sound, then the image will appear on the LCD monitor.
