Notes on Movie Shooting

  • The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.

  • Autofocusing during movie shooting may momentarily throw the focus far off or change the exposure.

  • When you autofocus during movie shooting under low-light conditions using a USM lens, horizontal stripes (noise) may be recorded. Note that with certain lenses equipped with the electronic focusing ring, similar noise may be recorded even with manual focusing (MF).

  • During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s components.

    1. Under [: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set to [Rec. to multiple], the movie cannot be recorded to Card 1 <> and Card 2 <>. If [Rec. separately] or [to multiple] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card which is set for [Playback].
  • If <AWB> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie shooting, the white balance may also change.

  • If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may flicker.

  • Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result.

  • Movie-related settings are under the [4] and [5] tabs.

  • Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone

  • By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal, stereo sound recording is possible.

  • With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time will be as follows: approx. 2 hr. 10 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 2 hr. at low temperatures (0°C/32°F).

  • When using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the power focus mode marketed since the second half of 2011, power focusing is possible during movie shooting.
