While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image sensor or image sensor internal drive circuit,
causing current to be generated in those sections of the image sensor that are not normally

Recording Movies

When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.

C

A UHS-II or UHS-I card with a UHS speed class of 3 or better is required when:

C

-

a movie resolution of [4K] or [C4K] is selected in the [nX] menu or a bit rate of [A-I]
(All-Intra) is selected in the [nX] menu

If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image sensor will rise and noise

C

and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short time should this occur.
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.
AF is not available during movie recording with Four Thirds system lenses.

C

When 0 (high-speed movie recording) is selected for [nX], movies shot with [i-Enhance],

C

[e-Portrait], or an art filter selected for picture mode will be recorded in [Natural] mode.
CMOS image sensors of the type used in the camera generate a so-called “rolling shutter” effect

C

that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is a phenomenon that occurs
in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved during shooting. It is particularly
noticeable in pictures taken at long focal lengths.
When an SDXC card is used, movies over 2 hours are recorded over multiple files (depending

C

on shooting conditions, the camera may start recording to a new file before the 2-hour limit is
reached).
When an SD/SDHC card is used, movies over 4GB in size are recorded over multiple files

C

(depending on shooting conditions, the camera may start recording to a new file before the 4GB
limit is reached).
Camera orientation is recorded when movies are filmed in portrait (“tall”) orientation. Movies

B

viewed on a computer or smartphone will be displayed in the orientation in which they were
recorded.

Recording movies in photo shooting modes

The R button can be used for movie recording even when the mode dial is not in the n position.

The AF frame will switch to the style selected for movie mode. Before recording, rotate the mode
