Movies

Image Area

Using an FX lens with movie live view gives you a choice of two crops in addition to the standard FX-based format:

1.To record movies with a crop factor 2.7× that of an FX format lens used with a non-DX image area, select a “1920 × 1080 crop” option for Movie options > Frame size/frame rate in the shooting menu. The effective lens focal length will increase by 2.7× for a telephoto ef- fect and movies will be recorded at a higher quality than when an FX-based movie format is used.

2.To record movies with a crop factor of 1.5×, select DX for Image area > Choose image area in the shooting menu. Note that movies recorded at this setting show a slight drop in image-quality when compared to movies recorded in an FX-based movie format.
