  • When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion occurs in the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.

    In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.

  • If the size of the movie file being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the file will be split automatically. (Depending on shooting conditions, movies under 4 GB in size may be split into multiple files.)
  • If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.
