k Shooting Movies
With manual exposure shooting, AE lock and exposure compensation
cannot be set.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not
recommended since variations in the exposure will be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.
to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less
smooth the subject's movement will look.
