Movies; Scene Icons - Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II User Manual

Movies

● Before movie recording, lower the flash with your finger. During
recording, keep your fingers away from the microphone (1).
Leaving the flash raised, or blocking the microphone may prevent
audio from being recorded or may cause the recording to sound
muffled.
( 1 )
● Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
recording movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
● Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes
and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant
camera shake. To record subjects at the same size shown before
recording, follow the steps in "Recording Movies with Subjects at
the Same Size Shown before Shooting" ( = 53).
● Audio is recorded in stereo.
