Movie Recording Quality
Movie Recording Quality
You can set the image size, frame rate, compression method, and recording format in the [Movie rec. size] menu of [ : Movie rec quality].
The frame rate displayed on the [Movie rec. size] screen switches automatically depending on the [ : Video system] setting ().
Caution
- The card's writing/reading speeds required for recording movies (card performance requirements) vary depending on the movie recording quality. Before recording movies, see Cards that can record movies to check card performance requirements.
Movie Recording Size
Image size
Movies can be cropped around the center of the image, as if recorded with a telephoto lens.
Note
- To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before recording movies is recommended ().
- Movies cannot be recorded in HD or VGA quality.
4K Movie Recording
- Recording 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see Cards That Can Record Movies.
- 4K or High Frame Rate movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which may increase the internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. If a red
 icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not remove the card immediately.)
- From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save to the card as a JPEG still image ().
Image Area
The movie image area varies depending on factors such as movie recording quality settings and the lens used.
- (1) Still images (5472×3648) (JPEG L)
- (2)
 (1920×1080)
- (3) RAW movies (5472×2886)/
 (4096×2160)
- (4)
 (3840×2160)
- (5)
 (4096×2160)
Caution
- Recording with Movie digital IS () further crops the image around the center of the screen.
Frame rate (fps: frames per second)
-
[ ] 119.9fps/[ ] 59.94fps/[ ] 29.97fps
For areas where the TV system is NTSC (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, etc.). For , see High Frame Rate.
-
[ ] 100.00fps/[ ] 50.00fps/[ ] 25.00fps
For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.). For , see High Frame Rate.
-
[ ] 23.98fps/[ ] 24.00fps
Mainly for motion pictures. (23.98 fps) is available when [: Video system] is set to [For NTSC].
Compression method
-
[ ] ALL-I (For editing/I-only)
Compresses each frame, one at a time, for recording. Although file sizes are larger than with IPB (Standard), movies are more suitable for editing.
-
[ ] IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. File sizes are smaller than with ALL-I (For editing), which enables movie recording over longer periods (with a card of the same capacity).
-
[ ] IPB (Light)
Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback compatibility will be higher. This will make the available recording time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card having the same capacity).
Movie recording format
-
[ ] RAW
When [] is selected, movies are recorded as RAW movie files (file extension “.CRM”).
-
[ ] MP4
When [], [], or [] is selected, movies are recorded as MP4 movie files (file extension “.MP4”). This file format provides higher compatibility for playback than with MOV.
RAW movies
RAW movies are raw, unprocessed data from the image sensor that are recorded to the card digitally.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW movies. You can make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG, HEIF, or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
Caution
- RAW movies cannot be processed with [
 : RAW image processing].
Note
- To display RAW movies on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, hereafter DPP) is recommended.
- Older versions of DPP Ver.4.x do not support display, processing, editing, or other operations with RAW movies recorded by this camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your computer, obtain and install the latest version of DPP from the Canon website to update it (). (The previous version will be overwritten.) Similarly, DPP Ver.3.x or earlier does not support display, processing, editing, or other operations with RAW movies recorded by this camera.
- Commercially available software may not be able to display RAW movies recorded by this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer.
- To prioritize gradation in highlights, set Canon Log to [On]. For RAW movies, consider setting the color matrix to CINEMA EOS Original.
Cards That Can Record Movies
For details on cards that can record at each level of movie recording quality, check the Canon website.
Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your specified size ().
Caution
- Before recording 4K movies, format cards by selecting [Low level format] in [: Format card] ().
- If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not be played back properly.
- When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
- When movies cannot be recorded properly, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer's website, etc.
Note
- To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before recording movies is recommended ().
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you record a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep recording without interruption.
Caution
- When importing movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either EOS Utility or a card reader (). It may not be possible to save movie files exceeding 4 GB if you attempt this using standard features of the computer's operating system.
Movie Recording Time Limit
-
When recording non-High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time per movie is 29 min. 59 sec. Once 29 min. 59 sec. is reached, recording automatically stops. You can start recording a movie again by pressing the  button (which records the movie as a new file).
-
When recording High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time per movie is 7 min. 29 sec. Once 7 min. 29 sec. is reached, recording automatically stops. You can start recording a High Frame Rate movie again by pressing the button (which records the movie as a new file).
