Using Manual Exposure

When the shooting mode is <M>, you can manually set the ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture for movie shooting.
Using manual exposure to shoot movies is for advanced users.
For more information about movie shooting, please refer to the Related Information section.
Shutter speedTurn the <Main Dial>. The settable shutter speeds depend on the frame rate.

Manual setting range : [AUTO] or 100-12800*
Auto ISO range : [AUTO](Set automatically within ISO 100-12800.)
*Under [ [ 2: ISO speed settings ], if you set [ISO speed range]s [Maximum] setting to [25600/H], the maximum ISO speed for manual ISO speed setting will be expanded to H(equivalent to 25600). Be aware that when you set [Maximum] to [25600], the maximum ISO speed will not be expanded and remains ISO 12800.

CAUTION
  • 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.
NOTE
  • If [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - 12800.
  • When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subjects movement will look.
  • Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
