Troubleshooting
Some things to note when lming.
Keeping the Camera Cool
If live view is used continuously for extended periods, the camera’s internal temperature will rise,
causing noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) to appear in images. Use live
view only when taking pictures. Note that live view does not end when menus are displayed; unless
you intend to resume shooting immediately, exit live view before using the menus.
Image Artifacts
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the nal movie under uores-
cent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps, when power aperture is in use, or if the camera is panned
horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré,
and bright spots may also appear. Bright bands may appear in some areas of the frame with ashing
signs and other intermittent light sources or if the subject is briey illuminated by a strobe or other
bright, momentary light source. Noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) and unexpected
colors may be more noticeable if you zoom in on the view through the lens during live view.
The Flicker reduction option (
0
25) in the movie shooting menu can be used to reduce icker under
uorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps. The desired results may not be obtained if the subject
is very bright, in which case you should try a smaller aperture (higher f-number).
Ending Recording
If the maximum length is reached, the memory card lls, the battery runs low, the live view selector
is rotated to C, the lens is removed, or the camera overheats, lming will end automatically and all
footage shot to that point will be saved. No movie will be recorded if the battery is removed during
lming.
