My Camera > Shooting modes65• H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format establishedin 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a highcompression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.• If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, thecamera may record the image stabilizer sound.• If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will beinterrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.• If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting amovie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a tripodto minimize camera shake.• The camera supports only the Multi AF function when recording a video. Youcannot use any other focus area setting functions.• When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically stopsrecording even if the maximum recording time (29 minutes and 59 seconds)has not been reached.• If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie canbe interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the videois being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card orreduce the video size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480).• When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If youformat on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause achange in the capacity of the card.• While recording a video in the same ISO sensitivity, the screen may be darkerthan taking a photo.
