    [z 4] Menu
    When you select [ Movies] under [z4: 
    LV   z/k  set.], the [ z4] [ z5] tabs for 
    movie shooting will appear. The menu 
    options are as follows.
      AF mode
    The AF modes will be the same  as described on pages 209-215. 
    You can select [ Live mode], [u Live mode ], or [Quick mode ]. Note 
    that continuous focusing of a moving subject is not possible.
    Even if the AF mode is set to [ Quick mode], it will switch to [ Live 
    mode ] during movie shooting.
      Grid display
    With [3x3  l] or [6x4  m], you can display grid lines to help you 
    level the camera vertically  or horizontally. Also, with [3x3+diag n ], 
    the grid is displayed together with  diagonal lines to help you align the 
    intersections over the subject fo r better balance in the composition.
      Movie recording size
    You can set the movie recording size (image size, frame rate, and 
    compression rate). For detai ls, see pages 233 to 235.
      Sound recording
    You can set sound recording setti ngs. For details, see pages 236 
    and 237.

    Movie Shooting Cautions
    White  and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons  If the camera’s internal temperatu re increases due to prolonged movie 
    shooting or a high ambient  temperature, a white icon < s> will appear. 
    Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the movie’s image 
    quality will hardly be affected. Howe ver, if you shoot still photos, the 
    image quality of the still photos may  degrade. You should stop shooting 
    still photos for a while and a llow the camera to cool down.
      If the camera’s internal temperatu re further increases while the white 
    icon < s> is displayed, a red icon  may start blinking. This blinking 
    icon is a warning that mo vie shooting will soon stop automatically. If this 
    happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal 
    temperature decreases. Turn off the  power and let the camera rest for a 
    while.
      Shooting a movie at a high temperatur e for a prolonged period will cause 
    the < s> and < E> icons to appear earlier.  When you are not shooting, 
    turn off the camera.
    Recording and Image Quality  If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will 
    operate at all times even  if you do not press the shutter button halfway. 
    The Image Stabilizer consumes battery  power and may shorten the total 
    movie shooting time or decrease t he number of possible shots. If you 
    use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer  is not necessary, you should set the 
    IS switch to < 2>.
      The camera’s built-in microphone will  also pick up camera operation 
    noise. Using a commercially-availabl e external microphone can prevent 
    (or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
      Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
    camera’s external micr ophone IN terminal.
      If there is a very bright  light source in the pict ure, the bright area may 
    appear black on the LCD monitor. In movies, the br ight areas will be 
    recorded in almost th e same way you see it  on the LCD monitor.
      In low light, noise or irre gular colors may appear in  the image. In movies, 
    the bright areas will be recorded in  almost the same way you see it on 
    the LCD monitor.

    Movie Shooting Cautions
    Recording and Image Quality If you use a card with a slow  writing speed, a five-level 
    indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie 
    shooting. It indicates how  much data has not yet been 
    written to the card (remaining ca pacity of the internal buffer 
    memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will 
    climb upward. If the indicator  becomes full, movie shooting 
    will stop automatically. 
    If the card has a fast writing sp eed, the indicator will either 
    not appear or the level (if disp layed) will hardly go upward. 
    First, shoot a few test mo vies to see if the card can write fast enough.
    Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting Regarding the image quality of still ph otos, see “Image Quality” on page 
    217.
    Playback and TV Connection  In autoexposure shooting, shutter-pr iority AE, or aperture-priority AE 
    modes, if the brightness changes du ring movie shooting, the movie may 
    freeze temporarily. In  such cases, shoot movies  with manual exposure.
      If you connect the  camera to a TV set (p.269 , 272) and shoot a movie, 
    the TV will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
    sound will be p roperly recorded. Indicator

    Image Playback
    This chapter explains how to play back and erase 
    photos and movies, how to display them on a TV 
    screen, and other playback-related functions.
    About images taken with another cameraThe camera may not be able to properly display images captured 
    with a different camera or edited with a computer or whose file name

    When [3 3: Highlight alert ] is set to [Enable], overexposed 
    highlight areas will blink. To obtain more image detail in the 
    overexposed areas, set the exposure compensation to a negative 
    amount and shoot again.

    When [3 3: AF point disp.] is set to [ Enable], the AF point that 
    achieved focus will be displayed in  red. If automatic AF point 
    selection was used, multiple AF points may be displayed.

     About the Histogram
    The brightness histogram shows the  exposure level distribution and 
    overall brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color 
    saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with [ 33: 
    Histogram ].
    [Brightness] Display
    This histogram is a graph showing the 
    distribution of the image’s brightness level. The 
    horizontal axis indicates the brightness level 
    (darker on the left and br ighter on the right), 
    while the vertical axis indicates how many 
    pixels exist for each brightness level. The more 
    pixels there are toward  the left, the darker the 
    image. And the more pixels there are toward the 
    right, the brighter the image. If there are too 
    many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be 
    lost. And if there are too many pixels on the 
    right, the highlight detail will be lost. The 
    gradation in-between will  be reproduced. By checking the image and 
    its brightness histogram, you can se e the exposure level inclination 
    and the overall gradation.
    [RGB] Display
    This histogram is a graph showing  the distribution of each primary 
    color’s brightness level in the im age (RGB or red, green, and blue). 
    The horizontal axis indicates the co lor’s brightness level (darker on 
    the left and brighter on the right) , while the vertical axis indicates 
    how many pixels exist for each color’s brightness level. The more 
    pixels there are toward the left,  the darker and less prominent the 
    color. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter 
    and denser the color. If there are  too many pixels on the left, the 
    respective color information will be lacking. And if there are too 
    many pixels on the right, the co lor will be too saturated with no 
    gradation. By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the 
    color’s saturation and gradation condition and white balance 
    inclination.
