# 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.

 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/SCN mode (e-Portrait, HandHeld Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting
