 Changing the shutter speed during movie shooting is not recommended 
since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
 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.
 If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED 
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.

1/3-stop increments. Under [ z2: ISO speed settings ], if you set 
[ISO speed range ]’s [Maximum ] setting to [ H (12800)], the manual 
ISO speed setting range’s maximum will be expanded to H 
(equivalent to ISO 12800). You can also set the [ Maximum] and 
[Minimum ] to a range narrower than the default range (ISO 100 - 
ISO 6400).
 If [z 3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.187), the auto 
or manual ISO setting range will be ISO 200 or higher.

still photo shooting to movie shooting, the minimum setting for manual 
ISO range for movie shooting will be ISO 100. It cannot be expanded to 
ISO 50.
 Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not 
recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
 When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.

Cautions for Movie Shooting
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image 
sensor or the camera’s internal components.

If you shoot something that has fine de tail, moire or false colors may result.Under [ 51: Record func+card/folder sel. ], even if [Record func. ] is set 
to [Rec. to multiple ] (p.147), the movie cannot be recorded to both the 
CF card [ f] and SD card [ g]. If [ Rec. separately ] or [Rec. to multiple ] 
is set, the movie will be recorded to the card which is set for [Playback ].
 If  or  is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during 
movie shooting, the white balance may also change.

If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may flicker. Shooting a few test movies is recommended where you will perform 
zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may 
result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the 
lens, or images may be out of focus.
 When an SD card is selected as a card to record images and you cannot 
shoot movies even if the card still has storage capacity, transfer the 
images recorded on the card to a computer, etc. then format the card.
 During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press 
the < u> button.

Be careful not to cover the built-in microphone (p.280) with your finger, etc. [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] (p.183) cannot be set.
 If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the 
movie shooting will end.
 General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 317-318.

pages 277-278.
