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. Set the [Shooting Mode] to <Movie> (

), and then press the <Power> button of the camera.

2. The following screen appears.

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

If it does not appear, press the <

> button several times.

3. Point the camera at the subject, and turn the <Zoom Lever> to compose the shot.

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

For the details on the approximate length of movies that can be recorded on a memory card, please refer to the following page.
