Movie Shooting CautionsWhite  and Red  Internal Temperature Warning Icons
  If the camera’s internal temperatu re increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or under a high am bient temperature, a white  or red < E> 
icon will appear.
  The white < s> icon indicates that the image  quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. You should stop still sh ooting and allow the camera’s internal 
temperature to cool be fore shooting again. Since the movie’s image 
quality will hardly deteriorate,  movie shooting will continue.
  The red < E> icon indicates that the mo vie shooting will soon be 
terminated automatically.  If this happens, you will not be able to shoot 
again until the camera’s internal te mperature decreases. Turn off the 
power and let the came ra rest for a while.
  Shooting a movie at a high temperatur e for a prolonged period will cause 
the < s> or < E> icon to appear earlier. Wh en you are not shooting, turn 
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
  If the attached lens has an Imag e Stabilizer and you set the Image 
Stabilizer (IS) switch to < 1>, the Image Stabilizer  will operate at all 
times even if you do no t press the shutter button halfway. The Image 
Stabilizer consumes ba ttery power and may sh orten the total movie 
shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a 
tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is no t necessary, it is recommended to set 
the IS switch to < 2>.
  The camera’s built-in microphone will  also pick up camera operation 
noise. Using a commercially-available external microp hone 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 the brightness changes  during autoexposure movi e shooting, that part 
may look momentarily  still when you play back  the movie. In such cases, 
shoot movies with manual exposure.
  If there is a very bright  light source in the pictur e, the bright area might 
appear black on the LCD monitor. Th e will be recorded in almost the 
same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
  In low light, noise or irregular colors  may appear in the image. The movie 
will be recorded in al most the same way you se e it on the LCD monitor.

Movie Shooting CautionsRecording 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 
201.
Playback and TV connection
  If you connect the  camera to a TV set (p.261 , 264) and shoot a movie, 
the TV will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
sound will be p roperly recorded.
Lens
  The focus preset function  is possible for movie shooting only when using 
a (super) telephoto lens equipped wi th the focus preset mode marketed 
since the second half of 2011. 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. 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. 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 
see the exposure level inclination and the 
overall gradation.
