• The movie is shot in the set shooting mode. Note that the shooting mode effects may not be obtained for some shooting modes.

• Sound is also recorded.

• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted due to the rolling shutter phenomenon.

In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.

Press the R (movie) button again to stop recording.

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