Be aware that when you set [Maximum] to [25600], the maximum ISO speed will not be expanded and remains ISO 12800.



ATTENTION
  • If <AWB> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie shooting, the white balance may also change.
  • If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may flicker.


NOTE
  • If [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - 12800.
  • When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
  • Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
