150 / Detailed guide / Record mode
Note: A setting to ONE TIME is automatically reset to
OFF when the camera is switched off or switches to
stand-by mode. Consequently, this setting has to be
made again prior to another video recording.
3. Specify your framing and press the shutter release
button (1.13) to the pressure point.
• When using one of the AF modes (AF/AF Macro,
see pp. 131/132) the green dot (2.1.11 b)
appears as soon as the focus has been set
Notes:
• When video recording starts (the first frame), the
focus (when using one of the AF modes) and
exposure settings are locked, i.e. they can no
longer be changed while recording is in progress.
By contrast, manual focusing (see p. 133) is
available without limitations for the whole time.
• If, when using one of the AF modes, you want to
arrange your main subject off center at the start of
recording, resulting in it not being covered by the
autofocus metering area, but you still want the
former to be the basis for focusing and exposure,
you therefore have to proceed as described with
metering memory-lock (see p. 132).
4. Press the shutter release button all the way down
to start recording.
This also starts sound recording.
5. Pressing the shutter release button all the way
down stops recording.
Video recording ends automatically when the
memory card capacity is reached.
• In this case, the displays on the monitor dis-
appear and MEMORY CARD FULL appears for a
short time. The original displays then return, with
the counter flashing and showing
0S
.
Notes:
• In this mode, only digital focal length extension is
available in the menu system
z
D. ZOOM (see
p. 131). To view the pictures, the review mode
8
(see p. 155) must be used. By contrast, manual
focusing MF (see p. 133) and zooming are still
possible.
• The (remaining) recording time shown on the moni-
tor is an approximate value.
• When using MultiMedia cards, video recordings
may suddenly be interrupted. This is due to their
lower data transfer rate compared to SD memory
cards.
• When using MultiMedia cards, the symbol for
saving data to the card (2.1.16) may light up after a
video recording, this is not a malfunction.
• Video scenes recorded on this camera may not
play back on other cameras, or only in reduced
quality.
