kShooting Movies

Using Manual Exposure

When the shooting mode is <a> (p.102), you can manually set the shutter speeds, aperture, and ISO speeds shown below and shoot a movie. Using manual exposure to shoot movies is for advanced users.

Shutter speed : Turn the <6> dial. The settable shutter speeds depend on the frame rate <9>.

•7/ 8 : 1/4000 sec. - 1/60 sec.

•4/ 5/ 6: 1/4000 sec. - 1/30 sec.

Aperture

: Set the Quick Control Dial switch to <J>, and turn the

 

<5> dial.

 

 

ISO speed

: Press the <m> button, then turn the <6> dial.

 

• Manual setting range : 100

- 6400

 

• Auto ISO range

: 100

- 6400

AE lock and exposure compensation cannot be set.

If <Q> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie shooting, the white balance may also change.

If you shoot a movie under fluorescent lighting, the movie image might flicker.

With the ISO speed set to Auto, you can shoot a movie as if it were in aperture-priority AE mode (fixed aperture, standard exposure).

If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) settings cannot be set (p.209). When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.

Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since variations in the exposure will be recorded.

If you playback the movie with “Shooting information display” (p.163), the shooting mode, shutter speed, and aperture will not be displayed. The image information (Exif) will record the settings used at the start of the movie.
