_I_ Recording Movies
Banding or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves
at high speed through frame. Bright light sources may leave after-images when the camera
is panned. Jagged edges, false colors, moire, and bright spots may also appear. When
recording movies, avoid pointing the camera atthe sun or other strong light sources. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera's internal circuitry.
Recording ends automatically if the lens is removed. Unless the camera is connected to a TV,
recording will also end if the monitor is closed.
When used in live view or movie-recording mode for extended
3eriods, the temperature of the camera's internal circuits may rise,
resulting in image noise and unusual colors (the camera may also
become noticeably warm, but this does not indicated a malfunction). To prevent damage to
the camera's internal circuits, recording will end automatically before the camera overheats.
A count-down display will appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient
temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view mode is selected.
Matrix metering is used regardless of the metering method selected.
The camera may record the sound made byVR lenses when vibration reduction is on.
