Notes on Movie Shooting

Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact burns. The use of a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.

Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or 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’s maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result.

Pressing the <u> button during movie shooting will not magnify the image.

Be careful not to cover the microphone (p.154) with your finger, etc.

Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 177 and 178.

If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages 151 and 152.

Movie-related settings are under the [Z1], [Z2], and [Z3] tabs (p.172).

A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie.

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

Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.154). With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E10, the total movie shooting time will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 15 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 10 min. at low temperatures (0°C/32°F).

During movie shooting, focus preset for super telephoto lenses cannot be used.
