• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs in the fi lmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.
In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• If the size of the movie fi le being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the fi le will be split
automatically.
• When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.
• A UHS-II or UHS-I card with a UHS speed class of 3 or better is required when a movie
resolution of [4K] or [C4K] or a bit rate of [A-I] (All-Intra) is selected in the [nK] menu.
• Choose an option other than U (multi echo) for [Movie Effect] (P. 37) when recording at a
movie resolution of [4K] or [C4K].
• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short
time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
