Shooting

Press the R button again to end recording.

Displayed during recording

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.

• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.

• 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, time or composite photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, Hand-Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

 Taking photographs during movie recording (Movie+Photo Mode)

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to record one of the frames of the movie

as a photograph (mode1). To end movie recording, press the R button. The photograph and movie ﬁ les will be recorded separately to the memory card. The record mode of the photographs will be XN (16:9).

• There is also a way of recording a photograph of a higher quality (mode2). In mode2, the movie footage from before and after the photograph is recorded in separate ﬁ les. g [Movie+Photo Mode] (P. 92)

Cautions

• In mode2 and certain shooting modes, it is only possible to capture a single-frame as a picture during recording. Other shooting functions may also be limited.

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

• If the record mode for the movie is Motion JPEG (H or I), the camera is set to mode2.
