# Cautions

• 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 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.

 Taking photographs during movie recording

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the R button to end recording. Three ﬁ les will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the photograph.

• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and ﬂ ash cannot be used.

# Cautions

• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.

• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take photographs.

• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:

Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/3D/time lapse shooting

# Cautions

• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)

Use for night landscapes and ﬁ reworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are available in mode M.

Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.

Time photography (TIME): The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all

• When using BULB or TIME, screen brightness is varied automatically.

• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by pressing the shutter button halfway.

• [Live BULB] can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography. g “Using the custom menus” (P. 76)

the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button all the way down again.

# Cautions

• ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time photography.

• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a remote cable (P. 123).

• The following features are not available during long exposures:

Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/ ﬂ ash bracketing/multiple exposure* * An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 79)

Using movie mode

Movie mode You can create movies that take advantage of the effects available in still photography mode. Use live control to select the settings. g “Adding effects to a movie” (P. 55) You can also apply an after-image effect or zoom in on an area of the image during movie recording.

use.

• You can also use the buttons displayed on icons.

• Press and hold Q to return the zoom frame to a central position.

Touch M or press U to zoom in on the area in the zoom frame.

• Touch N or press U to return to the original display.

Touch O or press Q to cancel the zoom frame and exit Movie tele-

converter mode.

# Cautions

• The frame rate will drop slightly during recording.

• The 2 effects cannot be applied simultaneously.

• Use a memory card with an SD speed class of 6 or better. Movie recording may end unexpectedly if a slower card is used.

• Taking a photograph during movie recording cancels the effect; the effect does not appear in the photograph.

• [Diorama] and Art Fade-in cannot be used simultaneously.

• Movie Tele-converter cannot be used when [Picture Mode] is set to [ART].

• The sound of touch operations and button operations may be recorded.

• Besides using touch operations, you can apply effects using the buttons corresponding to the displayed icons.
