Notes on Movie Recording
• When recording a movie onto a memory card, a memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or
higher is recommended (
A221). If the transfer speed of the card is slow, the movie recording may

using digital zoom, and you rotate the zoom control in the
g direction, the zoom stops at the
maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again in the
g direction to
trigger digital zoom.

when the brightness changes may be recorded. To minimize the recording of the zoom sound, set
Zoom speed in the setup menu to Auto (default setting) or Quiet (

Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording
