In the [iA] mode, the camera automatically keeps focusing during recording standby, irrespective of the [Continuous AF] setting.

Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, the AF operation sound may be recorded during video recording.

If the operation sound bothers you, we recommend recording with [Continuous AF] set to [OFF].

If the zoom is operated while recording videos, the subject may take a while to come into focus.

[MODE1] switches to [MODE2] when outputting via HDMI in the [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ]/[S&Q] mode.

When set to [MODE2], the battery drains faster.
