ISO-A

Displayed during recording

Recording time

# 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

00:02:1800:02:18

 Taking photographs during movie recording

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to take a photograph while continuing to record (mode1). Press the R button to end recording. The movie and photograph ﬁ les are 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.

Shooting using the viewﬁ nder

g [Movie+Photo Mode] (P. 96)

# 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), it will be set to mode2.

Setting shooting functions

Using the multi-function button

When framing pictures in the viewﬁ nder, you can adjust settings quickly using the multi-function button. At default settings, the Fn2 button is assigned the role of the multi-function button.

 Choosing a function

Press and hold the Fn2 button and rotate the dial.

• The menus are displayed. g [Multi Function Settings] (P. 92)

Keep rotating the dial to select the desired function.

• 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.
