Canon 1100D, 5157B002, 5161B039 manual 150

About the Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icon

If the camera’s internal temperature is high, a blinking red icon <E> may appear. This blinking icon is a warning that the movie shooting will soon be terminated automatically. If 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 at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the <E> icon to appear sooner. When not shooting, turn off the camera.

Movie Shooting Cautions

Recording and Image Quality

If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times 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 <2>.

The camera’s built-in microphone will also record camera operation noise.

If movie shooting is not possible due to insufficient remaining capacity of the card, the movie recording size and movie shooting remaining time (p.142) will be displayed in red.

If you use a card having a slow writing 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

will stop automatically.Indicator If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either

not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.

First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
