•
Built-in memory can only store data as the [VGA] of [MP4].
• The available recording time displayed on the screen may not decrease regularly.
• Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while after 
recording motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.
• Motion pictures cannot be recorded during [3D PHOTO MODE] in Scene Mode.
• ISO sensitivity will operate as [AUTO] in Motion Picture Recording other than Creative Video. 
Also, [ISO LIMIT SET] will not function.
• There is a risk that the sound of zoom and button operations and the rubbing of the lens cap 
string will be recorded, and so care is necessary.
• The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise due to static 
electricity or electromagnetic waves etc. depending on the environment of the motion picture 
recording.
• When operating the zoom in recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.
• If the Extended Optical Zoom was used before pressing the motion picture button, those 
settings will be cleared, so the focus range will change dramatically.
• Even if the aspect ratio setting is the same in still and motion pictures, the angle of view may 
change at the start of the motion picture recording.
When [ REC AREA] (P52) is set to [ON], angle of view during motion picture recording is 
displayed.
• If you end motion picture recording after a short time when using [MINIATURE EFFECT] of the 
Creative Control Mode, the camera may go on recording for a certain period. Please continue 
to hold the camera until the recording finishes.
• It is recommended to use a fully charged battery or AC adaptor (optional) when recording 
motion pictures.
• If while recording motion pictures using the AC adaptor and the power supply is cut off due to a 
power outage or if the AC adaptor is disconnected etc., the motion picture being recorded will 
not be recorded.
Start recording by pressing the motion picture 
button.
