CAUTION
- Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since it will record the changes in the exposure.
- If you use a lens whose aperture changes while you zoom, you should not zoom while shooting a movie. Zooming while shooting a movie may record changes in the exposure.
- If you shoot a movie under fluorescent lighting, the movie image might flicker.
NOTE
- With Auto ISO, the standard movie exposure will usually be obtained even if the light level changes.
- When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
