White <IR> and Red <[I> Internal Temperature Warning Icons 
• If the camera's internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or a high ambient temperature. a white <VI> icon will appear. 
Even if you shoot a movie while this icon m displayed. the movie's image 
quality will not be affected. However. d you shoot still photos. the image 
quality of the still photos may deteriorate. You should stop shooting still 
photos and allow the camera to cool down. 
• If the camera's internal temperature (utter increases while the white 
<11,  icon es displayed, a red <n> icon may start blinking. This blinking 
icon is a warning that movie shooting wet soon be laminated 
automatically. It this happens. you will not be able to shoot again until the 
camera's internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the 
camera rest for a while.

Movie Shooting Cautions 
Recording and Image Quality 
• If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will 
operate at all tines even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. 
The Image Stabilizer will thereby consume battery power and may 
shorten the total movie shooting time or decrease the number of possible 
shots. If you use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, you 
should set the IS switch to <OFF >. 
• The camera's built-in microphone will also record camera operation 
noise. Using a commercially-evadable external microphone can prevent 
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded. 
• Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
camera's external microphone IN terminal. 
• If movie shooting is not possible due to ',sufficient remaining capacity of 
the card, the movie recording size and movie shooting remaining time 
(p.146) will be displayed in red.

Movie Shooting Cautions 
Recording and Image Quality 
• If you use a card having a slow *Tiling speed. a five-level 
indicator might appear on the right of the screen during 
movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been 
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer 
memory). The slower the card. the faster the indicator will 
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full. movie shooting 
vrill stop automatically. 
Indicator 
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator aia either 
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. 
First. shoot a few test movies to see if the card can mite fast enough. 
If you take still photos during movie shooting. the movie shooting might 
stop. Setting a low image-recording quakty for still images might resolve 
this problem. 
Playback and TV connection 
• If the brightness changes during autcexposure movie shooting. that pail 
might look momentarily sal when you playback the movie. In such cases. 
shoot movies with manual exposure. 
• If you connect the camera to a N set with an HMI cable (p.218) and 
shoot a movie in (1920x1080) or (1280x720). the movie being shot will 
be displayed at a small size on the N. However. the actual movie wad be 
properly recorded at the movie recording size that was set. 
• If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.218. 221) and shoot a movie. 
the N will not output any sound during the shooting. However. the 
sound will be properly recorded.

About Folders 
As with '100CANOW for example, the folder name starts with three digits 
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain 
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new 
folder wall a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also. if 
manual reset (p.171) is executed, a new folder will be created automaticaly. 
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created. 
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer 
With the card open on the screen. create a new folder named VCIW. Open 
the OCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and 
organize your images. The folder name must follow the • 100A8C_D* format 
where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric 
characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case 
letters from A to Z. numerals. and an underscore 
There can be no space in 
the folder name. Also. folder names cannot have the same tIveri-digit number 
such as -100ABC 
and '100W_XYZ' even f the letters are different.

OMB File Numbering Methods 
The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the 
images are taken. then saved in a folder. You can change how the file 
number is assigned. 
The file number will appear on your computer in this format: 
IMG_0001.JPG. 
Under the IV) tab, select [File 
numbering], then press <O>. The 
available settings are described below. 
Select one, then press <e>. 
• [Continuous': The file numbering continues In sequence even 
after you replace the card or create a folder. 
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file 
numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient 
when you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001 
to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal 
computer. 
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might 
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or 
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use 
a newly-formatted card each time.
