Notes on Movie Shooting

Movie-related settings are under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (p.51). A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size exceeds 4 GB for a single movie shoot (single clip), a new file will be created.

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

You can also focus the image by pressing the <p> button.

To focus during movie shooting, press the <p> button. You cannot focus by pressing the shutter button.

Sizes of AF points and a magnification frame displayed in information display (p.26) depend on the movie-recording size setting (p.34). Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.18). By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.13), stereo sound recording is possible.

By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal (p.13), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting.

The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed since the second half of 2011.

With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time (with Hshooting) will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 15 min. at low temperature (0°C/32°F).
