  2. Press the [REC] button to start movie recording and the button will light in red.

Note that the microphone may pick up lens noise and other sounds made by the camera.

Vertical or horizontal streaks may appear in movies containing very bright subjects. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Temperature Warnings

The camera automatically turns off to protect itself when its temperature or the temperature of the supplied battery rises. If a temperature warning is displayed, clip noise may increase. Turn the camera off and wait for it to cool before turning it on again.

Using an External Microphone

Sound can be recorded with external microphones. Use external microphones that connect using jacks 3.5 mm in diameter. Microphones that require plug-in power should operate at a voltage of 2 V or less. See the microphone manual for details.

XLR Microphone Adapters

The camera can be used with TEAC TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR microphone adapters. For more information, visit the TASCAM website.
