• CMOS image sensors of the type used in the camera generate a so-called “rolling shutter” effect that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is a physical phenomenon that occurs in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved during shooting. It is particularly noticeable in pictures taken at long focal lengths.
• 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.

  While shutter the button is pressed halfway; during bulb, time, composite, sequential or time lapse photography; or when e-portrait, handheld starlight, panorama, or backlight HDR is selected in SCN mode or keystone compensation, panorama, live time, multiple exposure, or HDR is selected in Z mode

• A beep does not sound when the camera focuses in movie mode.
