Notes for autoexposure and manual exposure shooting

The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.

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

Even if the [5Record func+media/folder sel.] menu option has been set to [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] (p.57), a movie cannot be recorded simultaneously to both the CF card <f> and SD card <g>. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] has been set, the movie will be recorded to the card which has been set for [Playback].

Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 153 and 154.

If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages 139 and 140.

Movies cannot be encrypted with Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3.

A single movie file will be recorded for each movie shot.

During movie shooting, the top, bottom, left, and right parts of the screen will have a semi-transparent mask. The movie will be recorded in the area surrounded by the mask. The semi-transparent mask size will change depending on the [Movie rec. size] setting (p.151).

The sound is recorded in monaural by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.143).

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.19). Do not connect the camera’s external microphone IN terminal to anything other than an external microphone. The sound recording level will be adjusted automatically.

If you playback the movie with “Shooting information display” (p.156), 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.

With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4, the total movie recording time will be as follows: At 23°C/73°F: Approx. 2 hr. 40 min., At 0°C/32°F: Approx. 2 hr. 20 min.

With ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser (provided software), you can extract a still photo from the movie. The still photo quality will be as follows: Approx. 2.07 megapixels at [1920x1080], approx. 920,000 pixels at [1280x720], and approx. 310,000 pixels at [640x480].
