Notes for Movie Shooting
Movie-related settings are under the [ z4] and [ z5] tabs (p.313). In the 
< A> mode, they are under the [z 2] and [ z3] tabs.

A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size exceeds 
4 GB, a new file will be created for every subsequent approx. 4 GB.
 The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (when the movie 
recording size is set to  L).
 You can also focus on the image by pressing the < p> button.
 Under [ z5: V  button function ], if [
/k] [q/k] is selected, you 
can press the shutter button completely to start or stop the movie 
shooting (p.316).
 Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.280).
 Stereo sound recording is also poss ible by connecting the Directional 
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to the camera’s external 
microphone IN terminal (p.27) as the external microphone is given the 
priority.
 You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.237) to start 
and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is < Q> or < k>. Set 
the shooting timing switch to < 2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit 
button. If the switch is set to < o> (immediate shooting), still photo 
shooting will take effect.
 With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N, the total movie recording time 
will be as follows: At room temperature (23°C/73°F): Approx. 1 hr. 30 
min., At low temperatures (0°C/32°F): Approx. 1 hr. 25 min. (with [ z4: 
Movie Servo AF: Disable ] set).
 The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a 
(super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode, available 
since the second half of 2011.
Do not hold the camera in the same  position for long periods of time.Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact 
burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or 
very sensitive skin, or when using  the camera in very hot places.

While shooting a movie, you can also 
take a still photo by pressing the shutter 
button completely.
Taking Still Photos During Movie Shooting
 If you take a still photo during movie  shooting, the movie will record 
a still moment lasting approx. 1 sec.
 The captured still photo will be recorded to the card, and the movie 
shooting will resume automatically when the Live View image is 
displayed.

The movie and still photo will be recorded as separate files on the card.
 Under [5 1: Record func+card/folder sel. ], if [Record func. ] 
(p.146) is set to [ Standard] or [Auto switch card ], the movies and 
still photos will be recorded to the same card. If [Rec. separately ] or 
[Rec. to multiple ] is set, the movies will be recorded to the card set 
for [ Playback] (p.148). The still photos will be recorded at the 
image-recording quality set for the respective card.
 Functions particular to stil l photo shooting are shown below.
* If highlight tone priority is set, the ISO speed range will start from ISO 200.

If [z 5: V  button function ] is set to [ /k] or [ q/k] (p.316), you 
cannot take still photos.
 Still photo shooting during movi e shooting will have approx. 100% 
coverage with  L, w , and  x (when the image-recording quality is 
set to JPEG  73).
 AEB cannot be used.
 Even if a flash is used, it will not fire.
 Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting. 
However, the captured images will not be displayed on the screen. 
Depending on the still photo’s image-recording quality, number of shots 
during continuous shooting, card performance, etc., movie shooting may 
stop automatically.
 AF is possible during movie shooting. However, the following may occur:
• Focus may become far off momentarily.
• The brightness of the recorded movie may change.
• The recorded movie may be momentarily still.
• The movie may record the lens operation noise.
• If focus cannot be achieved, you cannot shoot still photos.
Exposure compensation up to ±3 stops can be applied for still photo 
shooting during movie shooting.
 If you want to shoot still photos c ontinuously during movie shooting, 
using a high-speed card is recommended. Setting a smaller image-
recording quality for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still 
photos are also recommended.
 You can shoot still photos in all drive modes.
 The self-timer can be set before you start shooting a movie. During 
movie shooting, the camera will switch to single-image shooting.

Compression Method
W  ALL-I  (For editing/I-only)
Compresses one frame at a time for recording. Although the file size 
is larger than with IPB (Standard), the movie is more suited for 
editing.
X  IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. Since 
the file size is smaller than with ALL-I (For editing), you can shoot 
longer (with a card of the same capacity).
