 4K movie shooting
 Shooting 4K movies requires a high-performance card. For details 
on card requirements for movie shooting, see “Cards that Can 
Record Movies” on page 356.
  Shooting 4K movies or High Frame  Rate movies greatly increases 
the processing load. Compared wi th normal movie shooting, the 
camera’s internal temperature may increase faster or may 
become higher. If the red 
E icon appears during movie shooting, 
it indicates that the card may be hot. Stop the movie shooting and let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not 
remove the card right away.)
  From a 4K movie, you can select any desired frame to save it as 
an approx. 8.8 megapixel (4096x2160) JPEG still image to the 
card (p.427).
  Movie-recording coverage
The respective area of the image s ensor shown below is used for 4K 
movies and Full HD and HD movies.
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the 
camera before shooting movies is recommended (p.73).

 For 4K movie shooting, [ z3: High ISO speed NR ] will not take effect. 
Therefore, noise may be more noticeable depending on the shooting 
conditions.
  If you change the [ 53: Video system ] setting, also set the movie-
recording size again.
  Movies shot in 4K,  L8/7 , or at a high frame rate may not be 
played back properly on other devices  due to the heavy data processing 
load during playback.
  The frame rate displayed on the movie recording size screen switches 
depending on whether [ 53: Video system ] is set to [For NTSC ] or [For 
PA L ].
  You cannot shoot Standard Definition (VGA) movies.
  If you change the movie size from Full HD or HD to 4K, the image area of 
the movie shooting will be shifted to the telephoto end.
  The 4K movie coverage is different from that of the EOS-1D C and EOS-
1D X Mark II.
  The color sampling recorded will be as follows: 4K: YCbCr 4:2:2 (8-bit), 
Full HD/HD: YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit). The  color matrix will be as follows: 4K: 
Rec. ITU-R BT.601, and Full HD/HD: Rec. ITU-R BT.709.

 Movie recording method/Compression rate
J  MJPG
Selectable when the movie recording format is [ MOV]. Motion 
JPEG is used to compress the movie for recording. Without any 
compression between frames, each fr ame is compressed at a time 
and recorded. The compression rate is therefore low. Also, since 
the image size is large with 4K quality, the file size will be large.
W  ALL-I  (For editing/I-only)
Selectable when the movie recording format is [ MOV]. 
Compresses each frame at a time for recording. Although the file 
size is larger than with IPB (Standard), the movie is better suited in 
editing.
X  IPB  (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a  time efficiently for recording. 
Since the file size is smaller th an with ALL-I (For editing), movie 
shooting time will be longer (with a card of the same capacity).
 IPB  (Light)
Selectable when the movie recording format is [ MP4]. 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. Of the four movie-recording methods, 
this one provides the longest possibl e shooting time (with a card of 
the same capacity).

When shooting movies, use a large-capa city card with a reading/writing 
speed (required card performance) shown in the table or higher than 
the standard specification. Test the  card by taking a few movies in the 
desired quality (p.351) and make sure the card can properly record the 
movie.

  Before shooting 4K movies, format the card (p.73).
  If you use a slow-writing card when shooting 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 movies cannot be recorded normally, format the card and try 
again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the 
card manufacturer’s Web site.
 
The camera is not compatible with UHS-II SDHC/SDXC cards. 
(Compatible with UHS-I.) With a UHS-II SDHC/SDXC card, high-speed 
transfer via UHS-I may not be possible, depending on the card 
specification.

 Records the movie at a frame rate of 24.00 fps.
When [Enable ] is set, you can select the 
movie-recording quality as follows: 
H B J, LBW , or 
LBX .
If you have set [ Movie rec. size] and 
then set [ 24.00p] to [Enable ], set the 
[ Movie rec. size ] again.
24.00p
 To optimize the use of the card, formatting the card with the camera 
before shooting movies is recommended (p.73).
  To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card 
manufacturer’s Web site.
  For bit rates, see page 580.
Cautions for [24.00p: Enable]
 When [ MP4] is set, [ Movie rec. size ] cannot be set.  LBX will be 
set.
  [High Frame Rate ] (p.358) cannot be set.
  [5 3: Video system ] cannot be set.
  [5 4: HDMI frame rate ] (p.390) cannot be set. The movie image will be 
output at 1080/24.00p via HDMI. If you connect the camera to a TV set 
etc. not compatible with the 1080/24.00p signal via HDMI, the movie 
image may not be displayed.
  If you set it back to [ Disable], [54: HDMI frame rate ] will be set to 
[ Auto ].
  Even if you set it back to [ Disable], the movie recording size will not 
revert to the original setting. Set the movie recording size again.

At HD quality, you can shoot movies at  a high frame rate of 119.9 fps or 
100.0 fps. Good for shooting movies  to be played back in slow motion. 
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec.
The movie will be recorded as  w2  
W  D
 or w 3  W  D
.
Movie Servo AF will not work for high 
frame rate movie shooting. Also, during 
high frame rate movie shooting, AF will 
not work.
High Frame Rate movies do not record 
sound.
If the time code is displayed during  movie shooting, it will count up 4 
sec. for each sec. in real time.
Since the High Frame Rate movie will be recorded as a 29.97 fps/25.00 
fps movie file, it will be played  back in slow motion at 1/4 speed.
High Frame Rate
Cautions for [High Frame Rate: Enable]
 When [ Count up ] is set to [ Free run] under [z5: Time code ] (p.365), 
the time code will not be recorded.
  [MOV/MP4 ], [Movie rec. size ], and [24.00p ] cannot be set.
  Even if you set it back to [ Disable], the movie recording size will not 
revert to the original setting. Set the movie recording size again.
  If you shoot a High Frame Rate movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, 
the movie image may flicker.
  When you start or stop High Frame Rate movie shooting, the movie 
image will not be updated temporarily (frame stops momentarily). Be 
aware of this when using an external recording device to record the 
movie from the HDMI video output.
  During the High Frame Rate movie shooting, the frame rate of the movie 
image displayed on the LCD monitor is different from the frame rate of 
the movie image being recorded.
  Headphones cannot be used. (You  cannot listen to the sound.)
