• The following compensations are not applied to the RAW video file: Electronic VR, Picture Control, Active D-Lighting, high ISO NR, vignette control, diffraction compensation, auto distortion control and lateral chromatic aberration compensation.
• The image is displayed on the camera monitor during recording, regardless of the monitor mode setting. No viewfinder image is available.
