Notes on Movie Shooting

During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.

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 or LED lighting, the movie may flicker.

Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result (except EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM).

You cannot magnify the image during movie shooting.

Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 195 and 196.

If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages 165 and 166.

Movie-related settings are under the [Z1] and [Z2] tabs (p.191). A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size exceeds 4 GB, a new file will be automatically created.

The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording size set to [A]).

The sound will be recorded in stereo by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.170).

Most commercially-available external stereo microphones with a 3.5 mm diameter miniplug can be connected to the camera. If an external microphone has been connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.20), it will be given priority over the built-in microphone.

You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.303) to start and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is <Q>. Set the shooting timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to <o> (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect.

With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E8, the total movie shooting time will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 40 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 20 min. at low temperature (0°C/32°F).
