The movie is shot in the set
shooting mode. Note that the
shooting mode effects may not
be obtained for some shooting
modes.
Sound is also recorded.
When using a camera with a
CMOS image sensor, moving
objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter
phenomenon. This is a physical
phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs in the filmed image when
shooting a fast-moving subject
or due to camera shaking. In
particular, this phenomenon
becomes more noticeable when
using a long focal length.
