Notes on Movie Shooting

The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder. Autofocusing during movie shooting is not recommended since it may momentarily throw the focus far off or change the exposure.

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.

You cannot magnify the image during movie shooting.

Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 233 and 234.

If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages 201 and 202.

Movie-related settings are under the [Z1] and [Z2] tabs (p.223). A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size exceeds 4 GB, a new file will be created for every subsequent 4 GB.

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.

Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.204). 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.
