Movie Recording Focus Position
When the focus mode setting is "AF" or "PF", recording is performed using pan focus,
which provides a deep depth of field and suppresses image blurring. When the focus
mode setting is "Macro", the image is automatically focused and fixed before
recording starts.
Also, you can touch a location on the monitor screen during movie recording to focus
at that location. Note, however, that touching the screen will not perform a focus
operation in the following cases.
• "Off" selected for the Touch Shooting setting
• "PF" selected for the focus setting
• "HS240" is selected for the movie quality setting
IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• The camera also records audio along with FHD(30p) and
STD movies. Note the following points when shooting a
movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the
camera's internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Use of the camera's built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speeds. In particular, high-quality movies may not be able to be
stored correctly. A slow memory card can take too much time to record data and
result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback.
NOTE
• Zoom operations are disabled during movie recording. To use zoom, perform the
zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
• You can focus at a particular point before starting movie recording. On the
controller screen, touch the location where you want to focus, and then start
recording.
• The Make-up function cannot be used during movie recording.
