Press the movie-record button again to end recording. Recording will end automatically when the maximum length is reached, or the memory card is full.

AMaximum Length

The maximum length for individual movie files is 4 GB (for maximum recording times, see page 70); note that depending on memory card write speed, shooting may end before this length is reached (0 434).

ATaking Photographs

To take a photograph while recording is in progress, press the shutter-release button all the way down. Movie recording will end (the footage recorded to that point will be saved) and the camera will return to live view. The photograph will be recorded at the current image area setting using a crop with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. Note that the exposure for photographs can not be previewed during movie live view; mode e, f, or gis recommended but accurate results can be achieved in mode hby adjusting exposure during live view photography (0 45) and then rotating the live view selector to 1 and checking the image area. Exposure compensation for the photograph can be set to values between –5 and +5 EV, but only values between –3 and +3 can be previewed in the monitor (0 130).

DThe Count-Down Display

A count down will be displayed 30 s before movie recording ends automatically (0 51). Depending on shooting conditions, the timer may appear immediately when movie recording begins. Note that regardless of the amount of recording time available, live view will still end automatically when the timer expires. Wait for the internal circuits to cool before resuming movie recording.
