When you record motion pictures, the camera performs aperture control within the
appropriate exposure range, and the background defocusing may not change for
some subject brightness levels.
If the camera is turned off or the Recording Mode is changed, the background
defocusing and colouring settings return to [AUTO].
When you set [Exposure Comp. Reset] to [ON] in the [Setup] menu, the brightness
setting returns to [AUTO] if you turn off the camera or change the Recording Mode.
