 ■
Motion Picture
Cannot record motion pictures.
 • When a large capacity card is used, you may not be able to take a picture for a while after you turn 
on the camera.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
 • When the ambient temperature is high or motion picture is recorded continuously, the camera may 
display [ 
 ] and stop the recording. Wait until the camera cools down.
 • The speed class of a required card varies depending on [Rec Format] and [Rec Quality] of a motion 
picture. Be sure to use a card of the recommended speed class (→26).
Sometimes focus adjustment with Auto Focus mode is difficult while recording 4K motion 
pictures.
 • This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the Auto Focus speed in order to adjust the 
focus at high precision. This is not a malfunction.
A noise, such as a clicking or buzzing noise, is recorded on a motion picture. Audio is 
recorded at low volumes.
 • With recording in a quiet environment, the sound of aperture, focus and other actions may be 
recorded in motion pictures. This is not a malfunction. The focus operation during recording of 
motion pictures can be set to [OFF] in [Continuous AF] (→158).
 • If you block the microphone with your fingers while motion pictures are being recorded, the audio 
may be recorded at a low volume or may not be recorded at all. In this case, the camera may pick 
up the lens operating sounds more easily.
Operating sounds are recorded in a motion picture.
 • We recommend recording motion pictures in Creative Video Mode if you are concerned about 
operating noise. (→86)
