ISO Speed During Manual Exposure Shooting
 With [Auto] ( A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 
100 - ISO 6400. Under [z 3: ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO 
speed range]’s [ Maximum] setting to [ 12800/H] (p.123), the 
maximum ISO speed will be expanded  and the ISO speed will be set 
automatically within ISO 100 to H (equivalent to ISO 12800).
 
You can set the ISO speed manually wi thin ISO 100 - ISO 6400 in 1/3-stop 
increments. Under [
z 3: ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO speed 
range]’s [Maximum] setting to [12800/H], the maximum ISO speed for 
the manual ISO speed setting will be  expanded to H (equivalent to ISO 
12800). Be aware that when you set [
Maximum] to [12800], the maximum 
ISO speed will not be ex panded and remains ISO 6400.
 If [z 4: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.145), the ISO 
speed will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400 (depending on the [ ISO speed 
range ] setting).
  Under [ z3: ISO speed settings ], [Auto ISO range ] or [Min. 
shutter spd. ] cannot be set (p.124, 125) for movie shooting.
 Since shooting a movie at ISO 8000 /10000/12800 may result in much 
noise, it is designated as an ex panded ISO speed (displayed as [ H]).
  Under [ ISO speed range ], if [Maximum ] is set to [H (25600)] and you 
switch from still photo shooting  to movie shooting, the maximum ISO 
speed for the manual ISO range dur ing movie shooting will be H 
(equivalent to ISO 1280 0). It cannot be expanded to ISO 25600.
  Changing the shutter speed or aperture during  movie shooting is not 
recommended since the ch anges in the exposure will be recorded.
  When shooting a movie of a moving su bject, 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.
  If you change the shutter speed while  shooting under fluorescent or LED 
lighting, image flicke r may be recorded.
 When Auto ISO is set, you can press the  button to lock the ISO speed. If you press the < A> button and recompose th e shot, you can see the 
exposure level difference on the ex posure level indicator (p.22, 258) 
compared to when the < A> button was pressed.
  By pressing the < B> button, you can display the histogram.

Notes on Movie Shooting
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. 
Even if the camera does not feel to o hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness, b listering or low-temperature contact 
burns. The use of a trip od is recommended for pe ople with circulation 
problems or very sensit ive skin, or when using  the camera in very hot 
places.
  Do not point the camera  toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
on a sunny day or an intense arti ficial light source. Doing so may 
damage the image sensor or the  camera’s internal components.
  If  is set and the ISO speed or  aperture changes during movie 
shooting, the white bala nce may also change.
  If you shoot a movie under fluoresc ent or LED lighting, the movie may 
flicker.
  Zooming the lens during movie shoot ing is not recommended. Zooming 
the lens can cause  changes in the exposure re gardless of whether the 
lens’ maximum aperture  changes or not. Exposure changes may be 
recorded as a result.
  During movie shooting, you cannot ma gnify the image even if you press 
the < u> button.
  Be careful not to cover  the microphone (p.252)  with your finger, etc.
  Cautions for movie shooting  are on pages 287 and 288.
  If necessary, also read the Live  View shooting cautions on pages 
249 and 250.
  Movie-related setting s are under the [Z1] and [ Z2] tabs (p.273).
  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 4 GB.
  The movie image’s field of view is  approx. 100% (with movie recording 
size set to [A ]).
  You can also focus the im age by pressing the  button.
  To focus during movie shooting, press the < p> button. You cannot 
focus by pressing the shutter button.
  The sound will be recorded in  stereo by the camera’s built-in 
microphone.
  Most commercially-availa ble external stereo microphones with a 3.5 mm 
diameter mini plug can be  connected to the camera.

 You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (s old separately, p.184) to start 
and stop the movie shooting  if the drive mode is  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 Batt ery Pack LP-E6, the total movie shooting time 
will be approx. 1 hr. 20 min. at ro om temperature (23°C / 73°F) and at 
low temperatures (0°C / 32°F).
  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.
