Notes on Movie Shooting

Playback and Connection to TV

If the brightness suddenly changes greatly during movie shooting, that part might look momentarily still when you playback the movie.

If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.140) and display the Live View image while shooting a movie at [1920x1080], the image displayed on the TV set will be small. However, the movie itself will be recorded in the [1920x1080] size as set.

If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.139-140) and display the Live View image while shooting a movie, the TV will not output the sound. (The sound will be properly recorded, but the camera will not output the sound to the TV set.)

If you use a card having a slow writing speed, the five-level indicator on the right might appear 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. If the card has a fast writing speed,

the indicator will either not appear or the level will hardly go upward. Indicator First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

Recording and Image Quality

The movie will be recorded in the M V format.

The movie will be recorded in the Picture Style currently set. The movie will be recorded in the sRGB-equivalent color space optimized for movies.

Exposure

With [Screen settings] set to [Movie display] or during movie shooting, you can adjust the image brightness (exposure compensation) by setting the power switch to <J> and turning the <5> dial (except in 1/C modes).

During movie shooting, you can lock the exposure (AE lock) by pressing the <A> button. To cancel the AE lock, press the <S> button. (The metering timer will not operate.)

Center-weighted average metering will be used for movie shooting. If the AF mode is set to [Liveu(Face detection) mode], the exposure control will be evaluative metering linked to the detected face.
