ISO Speed in the < a> Mode

  With [ AUTO ] (A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 
100 - ISO 25600. In [ Range for movies] under [z2: ISO speed 
settings ], if you set [ Maximum] to [H2 (102400) ] (p.379), the 
maximum limit of automatic ISO speed setting range will be 
expanded to H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Note that even if you 
set the [ Maximum ] and [Minimum ] to a narrower range than the 
default ISO range (ISO 100 - ISO 25600), it will not take effect.
  You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 25600 in 
1/3-stop increments. If you set [ Maximum] in [Range for movies ] to 
[ H2 (102400) ], the maximum limit of the manual ISO speed setting 
range will be expanded to H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Note that 
you can also set the [ Maximum] and [Minimum ] to a range 
narrower than the default range (ISO 100 - ISO 25600).
  If [z 3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.206), 
automatic and manual setting range of ISO speed will be ISO 200 - 
ISO 25600.
H : 4K movie shooting
  With [ AUTO ] (A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 
100 - ISO 12800. Under [ z2: ISO speed settings ] in [Range for 
H ], if you set [ Maximum] to [H2 (102400) ] (p.379), the maximum 
limit of the automatic ISO speed  setting range will be expanded to 
H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Note that even if you set the 
[ Maximum ] and [Minimum ] to a narrower range than the default 
ISO range (ISO 100 - ISO 12800), it will not take effect.
  You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 12800 in 
1/3-stop increments. If you set [ Maximum] in [Range for  H] to [ H2 
(102400) ], the maximum limit of the manual ISO speed setting range 
will be expanded to H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Note that you 
can also set the [ Maximum] and [Minimum ] to a range narrower 
than the default range (ISO 100 - ISO 12800).
  If [
z3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.206), the 
automatic and manual ISO speed setting range will be ISO 200 - 
ISO 12800.

 For movie shooting, the ISO speed cannot be expanded to L (equivalent 
to ISO 50).
  When switching from still photo shooting to movie shooting, check the 
ISO speed settings again before shooting movies.
  During movie shooting, avoid changi ng the shutter speed or aperture. 
Doing so may record the changes in the exposure or create more noise 
at high ISO speeds.
  When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of approx. 
1/25 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, 
the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
  The minimum shutter speed for shooting  movies at a high frame rate will 
be 1/125 sec. for NTSC and 1/100 sec. for PAL.
  If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED 
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
 In step 4, if you cannot set the shutter speed or aperture, set the 
 switch to the left and turn the < 6> or < 5> dial.
  Under [ 83: Custom Controls ], if [: Expo comp (hold btn, turn 
) ] or [ : Expo comp (hold btn, turn  ) ] is set (p.506), you can 
set exposure compensation while ISO Auto is set.
  When ISO Auto is set, you can press the < A> button to lock the ISO 
speed. After locking the ISO speed during movie shooting, you can 
cancel it by pressing the < S> button. (ISO speed lock is maintained 
until you press the < S> button.)
  If you press the < A> button and recompose the shot, you can see the 
exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator (p.344) 
compared to when the < A> button was pressed.
  With the camera ready to shoot in the < a> mode, pressing the < B> 
button displays the histogram.

Cautions for Movie Shooting
 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image 
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
  If you shoot something that has fine detail, moire or false colors may 
result.
  Under [ 51: Record func+card/folder sel. ], even if [Record func. ] is set 
to [ Rec. to multiple ] (p.167), the movie cannot be recorded to both the 
CF card [ f] and SD card [ g]. Note that if [ Rec. separately ] or [Rec. to 
multiple ] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card set for [ Playback].
  If  or < Qw> 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 image 
may flicker.
  If you perform AF with a USM lens during movie shooting in low light, 
horizontal banding noise may be recorded in the movie. The same type 
of noise may occur if you focus manually with certain lenses equipped 
with an electronic focusing ring.
  Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform 
zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may 
result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the 
lens, or images may be out of focus.
  During movie shooting, if you perform AF, any of the following may occur: 
The focus is temporarily greatly thrown off, changes in movie brightness 
is recorded, the movie recording stops momentarily, and the mechanical 
sound of the lens is recorded.
  During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press 
the < u> button.
  Be careful not to cover the built-in microphone (p.334) with your fingers, 
etc.
  If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the 
movie shooting will end.

 Warnings
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 or blis tering due to 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.
  “General Movie Shooting Cautions” are on pages 391-392.
  If necessary, also read “General Live View Shooting Cautions” on 
pages 331-332.
Notes for Movie Shooting
 Under the [ z4] and [ z5] tabs (the [ z2] and [ z3] tabs in < A> 
mode), you can set the movie shooting settings (p.380).
  Each time you shoot a movie, a new movie file is created on the card.
  The movie screen coverage for 4K, Full HD or HD movies is approx. 
100%.
  You can also focus by pressing the < p> button.
  With [ / k] or [ q/k ] selected under [ z5: V  btn function ], you 
can press the shutter button completely to start or stop the movie 
shooting (p.386).
  Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.334).
  Stereo sound recording (p.363) is also possible by connecting the 
Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to the camera’s 
external microphone IN terminal (p.29)  as the external microphone is 
given the priority.
  Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug 
can be used.
  With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N, the possible movie shooting 
time will be as follows: At room te mperature (23°C/73°F), approx. 1 hr. 
30 min., at low temperatures (0°C/32°F) approx. 1 hr. 20 min. (With 
[ z 4: Movie Servo AF: Disable ] and L 6 /5 /B /4X  set.)
  The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a 
(super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode, released in 
and after the second half of 2011.
