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 end 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.
  Autofocusing during movie shooting  is not recommended since it may 
momentarily throw the focus far  off or change the exposure.

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality If you use a card having 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 
215.
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.268 , 271) and shoot a movie, 
the TV will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
sound will be p roperly recorded. Indicator

 About the Highlight Alert
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.
  About the AF Point Display
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 in red.

 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 disp ].
[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 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.
