kShooting Movies

Notes for auto exposure, shutter-priority AE, and aperture-priority AE shooting

During movie shooting, you can lock the exposure (AE lock) by pressing the <A> button (p.98). When applying AE lock during movie shooting, you can cancel it by pressing the <S> button (except in 1/C modes).

You can set the exposure compensation by setting the power switch to <J> and turning the <5> dial (except in 1/Cmodes).

The ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100-6400. If [8C.Fn I -3: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On] (p.193), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100-12800 (H1). (In Tv mode, the range will be ISO 100-6400.)

If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable] (p.196), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 200-6400.

The ISO speed and shutter speed displayed at the screen bottom when you press the shutter button halfway is the exposure setting for still photos (p.135). The exposure setting for movie shooting is not displayed. Note that the exposure setting for movie shooting may differ from that for still shooting.
