What is the depth of fi eld? When you focus on a specifi c subject, there is a range in which objects closer and further away are all in focus. This focused range is called the depth of fi eld. The wider the wide-angle lens, the higher the aperture value, the greater the depth of fi eld. For example, the aperture stop, f 11 is higher than f 2.8.

Recording a movie

H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest • video coding format established in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space. If you use a slow writing memory card, your • movie's recording can be interrupted because the card can not process data at the rate the video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or reduce the image size. If you have the image stabilizer option on when • shooting a movie, the camera may record the image stabilizer sound. When the size of a movie fi le exceeds 4GB, • the camera automatically stops recording. If this occurs, continue the movie by starting a new movie fi le. When formatting a memory card, always • format using this camera. If you format on another camera or a PC, you can cause a change in the capacity of the card or make it incompatible with your camera. If you remove the camera lens while recording • a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording. While you shoot a movie, the camera can • record the sounds of the zoom mechanism working and the sounds the camera makes when you press the buttons. If you change the shooting angle of the • camera suddenly while shooting a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. We recommend using a tripod when shooting a movie. In this way, you can minimize camera shake. In the Movie Shooting mode, the camera • supports only the Multi AF function.
