Notes for movie shooting
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 image area surrounded by the mask is what will be recorded in the movie. The semi-transparent mask size will change depending on the [Movie rec. size] setting (p.139). Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.128). Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external microphone (commercially available) equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.16). Do not connect the camera’s external microphone IN terminal to anything other than an external microphone.
If [Screen settings] has been set to [Movie display], the depth-of-field preview button will not work.
You can use the Remote Controller RC-6, RC-1, or RC-5 (sold separately, p.102) to start and stop the movie shooting. With RC-6 or RC-1, set the timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to <o> (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect.
If you playback the movie with “Shooting information display” (p.135), 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 shooting.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6, the total movie recording time will be as follows: At 23°C/73°F: Approx. 1 hr. 30 min., At 0°C/32°F: Approx. 1 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] and approx. 310,000 pixels at [640x480].
