Note the following points when shooting.
• The higher the frame rate (speed), the more lighting is required when shooting. When shooting a high
speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.
• When recording certain types of movies, the image that appears on the monitor screen may be smaller
than normal. When recording a high speed movie, there are black bands along the top, bottom, left, and
right of the screen.
• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands to appear in the
image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
* Though it is hard to detect with the human eye, fluorescent lighting and certain other light sources
actually flicker. This can cause horizontal bands in images, flickering of images, and other problems.
If this happens, try shooting under natural sunlight or some other light source.
• During high speed movie recording, Auto Focus and exposure remain fixed at the levels they were when
you initially started recording. Zoom and monitor screen content switching are all disabled.
• To focus the image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before starting the high
speed movie recording operation.
