Attention:
  • The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.
  • In Movie shooting, even if the AF mode has been set to [Quick mode], it will switch to [Live mode] during movie shooting.

Using Manual Exposure

When the shooting mode is <M>, you can manually set the ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture for movie shooting.

Shutter speed Turn the <Main Dial> to set the shutter speed within 1/30 (1/60) sec. To 1/4000 sec.
Aperture If you set the power switch to < > and turn the <Quick Control Dial>, you can set the aperture.
ISO speed Press the <ISO> button and look at the screen while turning the <Main Dial> or <Quick Control Dial> to set the ISO speed.
Manual setting range : [AUTO] or 100-12800
Auto ISO range : [AUTO](Set automatically within ISO 100-12800.)

Attention:

  • If <AWB>(Auto White Balance) 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 lighting, the movie image might flicker.
Note:
  • If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO] (A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100-12800. (The [C.Fn I -3: Set ISO speed range] setting will not take effect.) Movie shooting as in aperture-priority AE mode (fixed aperture, standard exposure) is then possible.
  • If [C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the settable ISO speed range will start from ISO 200.
  • 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 subject's movement will look.
  • Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since variations in the exposure, due to the drive of the lens aperture, will be recorded.
