9. Recording Motion Pictures
Applicable modes:
Focusing changes depending on the Focus Mode setting (P142) and the [Continuous AF]
setting in the [Motion Picture] menu.
• When the focus mode is set to [AFS], [AFF] or [AFC], if you press the shutter button halfway
while recording a motion picture, the camera will re-adjust the focus.
• Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, operational sound may be recorded when
the Auto Focus is operated while recording a motion picture.
It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if
the sound of operation bothers you to avoid recording the lens noise.
• When operating the zoom while recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.
