An unusual noise, such as a clicking or buzzing noise, is recorded on a motion picture. Audio
is recorded at low volumes.
• With recording in a quiet environment, the sound of aperture, focus and other actions may be
recorded in motion pictures. This is not a malfunction. The focus operation during recording of
motion pictures can be set to [OFF] in [Continuous AF] (→219).
• Use of [Silent Operation] is recommended if you are concerned about operational sounds.
• If you block the microphone with your fingers while motion pictures are being recorded, the audio
may be recorded at a low volume or may not be recorded at all. In this case, the camera may pick
up the lens operating sounds more easily.
Operating sounds are recorded at the end of the motion picture recording.
• If the operation sound of the motion picture button pressed to end recording bothers you, try the
following:
→ Record the motion picture about three seconds longer, and then divide the last part of the motion
picture using [Video Divide]
→ Set the camera to Creative Video Mode, and use a shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional)
to record motion pictures.
