Recording a video
In Shooting mode, you can record Full HD videos (1920X1080) by pressing
(Video recording). The camera lets you record a video up to 29 minutes
and 59 seconds until the size of a movie file becomes 4 GB in length at 60,
30, 24, or 15 fps, and saves the files in MP4 (H.264) format. (For 1920X1080
(60 fps), you can record up to 21 minutes and 15 seconds.) 60 fps is
available only with 1920X1080 and 1280X720 and 24 fps is available only
with 1920X810. 15 fps is available only with some Smart Filter options. The
sound is recorded via the camera's microphone. (If you attach an external
microphone, the sound will be recorded via the external microphone.)
You can set the exposure by adjusting the aperture value and shutter
speed for the mode you selected. When you use a lens that does not have
an AF/MF switch while recording a video, press [F] to deactivate or
activate the AF function. When you use the lens that has an AF/MF switch,
the AF function works according to the switch's setting.
Select Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice, Wind Cut,
or other options to set recording options. (p. 116)

H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established
in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high
compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
