3Movie Menu Function Settings

Movie Servo AF

The default setting is [Enable]. You can focus by pressing the shutter button halfway regardless of the setting.

When [Enable] is set:

You can shoot a movie while focusing a moving subject continuously. Note that the camera may record the lens operation noise. To reduce the recording of the lens operation noise, use a commercially-available external microphone. Using the EF-S18- 135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM or EF-M18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens will minimize the focusing noise during movie shooting.

When using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS M, during Movie Servo AF, turn off the power before you set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF>.

If [AF w/ shutter button during k: Disable] is set, pressing the shutter button halfway during movie shooting will not refocus.

Since using Movie Servo AF will consume battery power, the number of possible shots and the possible movie shooting time will be reduced.

If you magnify the image, the Movie Servo AF will stop.

If you want to hold the focus at a certain point or avoid recording the lens operation noise before or during movie shooting, you can temporally stop Movie Servo AF by performing one of the operations below. When you stop Movie Servo AF, the AF point will turn gray. When you perform the same operation again, Movie Servo AF will resume.

Tap the [ ] icon on the lower left of the screen.

If [5: Shutter/AE lock button] is set to [2: AF/AF lock, no AE

lock] in the [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], Movie Servo AF will stop while you hold down the <YA> button. When you let go of the <YA> button, Movie Servo AF will resume.

When you press the <M> or <x> button, change the AF method, or operate the lens focus mode, Movie Servo AF is stopped. It will resume when you return to movie shooting.

When [Disable] is set:

You can focus only when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
