kShooting Movies

One continuous movie will be recorded as one file.

During movie shooting, the top, bottom, left, and right parts of the screen will have a semi-transparent mask. The area enclosed by the semi- transparent mask will be the movie image that is recorded. The semi- transparent mask size will change depending on the [nMovie rec. size] setting (p.131). If you use Movie crop, the unrecorded image areas will be displayed in black mask.

AE lock is possible by pressing the <A> button (p.97). To cancel AE lock during movie shooting, press the <S> button.

The ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture are set automatically.

By holding down the <O> button and turning the <6> dial, you can set the exposure compensation.

Pressing the shutter button halfway displays the shutter speed and aperture (p.126) on the screen’s bottom left. This is the exposure setting for taking a still photo.

Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.16). Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external microphone equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.16).

The sound recording level will be adjusted automatically.

With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E8, the total shooting time will be as follows: At 23°C/73°F: Approx. 1 hr. 40 min., At 0°C/32°F: Approx. 1 hr. 20 min.
