 Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you shoot a movie exceedi ng 4 GB, you can keep shooting 
without interruption.
  Using CF cards up to 128 GB and SD/SDHC cards
 formatted 
with the camera
If you use the camera to format a CF card with 128 GB or less in 
capacity or an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you shoot a movie and the file size 
exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you wi ll have to play each movie file 
individually. Movie files cannot be  played back automatically in 
consecutive order. After the movi e playback ends, select the next 
movie and play it back.
  Using CF cards exceeding 128 GB and SDXC cards
 formatted 
with the camera
If you use the camera to format a CF card with more than 128 GB in 
capacity or an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 
GB during movie shooting, the movi e will be saved as a single file 
(rather than being split into multiple files).

 Movie Shooting Time Limit
  When shooting movies other than High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If 
the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting 
will stop automatically. You can start shooting a movie again by 
pressing the < 0> button. (The movie will be recorded as a new 
movie file.)
  When shooting High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec. If 
the movie shooting time reaches 7  min. 29 sec., the movie shooting 
will stop automatically. You can  start shooting a High Frame Rate 
movie again by pressing the < 0> button. (The movie will be 
recorded as a new movie file.)
  When downloading movie files exceeding 4GB to a computer, use either 
the EOS Utility (p.596) or a card reader (p.597).  Movie files exceeding 
4GB will not be downloaded if you perform image download with the  
function of a computer (OS).
  Deleting any of the movie files created as a movie shot at one time 
exceeding 4GB will make it impossible for EOS MOVIE Utility (p.599) to 
play back the movie files consecutiv ely or to merge and save them as a 
single movie file.
Using EOS MOVIE Utility, you can au tomatically merge multiple MOV 
format movie files split at 4 GB each and save them as a single movie file.

You can shoot movies while recording 
sound with the built-in monaural 
microphone or an external stereo 
microphone. You can also freely adjust 
the sound-recording level.
Set the sound recording with [z4: 
Sound recording ] (the [z2] tab in 
< A > mode).
Auto : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto 
level control will operate automatically in response to the 
sound level.
Manual : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound-recording 
level to one of 64 levels.
Select [ Rec. level ] and turn the < 5> dial while looking at 
the level meter to adjust the sound-recording level. Look 
at the peak hold indicator, and adjust so that the level 
meter sometimes lights up on the right of the “12” (-12 dB) 
mark for the loudest sounds. If  it exceeds “0”, the sound 
will be distorted.
Disable : Sound will not be recorded. Also, sound will not be output 
for the HDMI output (p.387).

Sound Recording/Sound Recording Level
High Frame Rate movies do not record sound. Also, [ z4: Sound 
recording ] cannot be set.

3 Setting the Sound Recording
Wind filter : When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when 
recording outdoors. This fe ature works only when you 
use the built-in microphone for movie shooting. Note 
that [ Enable ] reduces low bass sounds, so set it to 
[ Disable ] when there is no wind. It will record a more 
natural sound than with [ Enable].
Attenuator : Automatically suppresses  sound distortion caused by 
loud noises. Even if [ Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or 
[ Manual ] for shooting, sound distortion may still result 
if there is a very loud sound. In such a case, setting it 
to [ Enable ] is recommended.
 Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone records monaural sound.
Stereo sound recording is possible  by connecting an external stereo 
microphone equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm 
diameter) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.29) as 
the external microphone is given t he priority. Using the Directional 
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.
  Using headphones
By connecting headphones (commercia lly-available) equipped with 
a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal 
(p.29), you can listen to the sound  during movie shooting. If you are 
using an external stereo microphone, you can listen to the sound in 
stereo. To adjust the headphones’ sound volume, press the < Q> 
button and select < n>. Then turn < 5> to adjust the volume 
(p.350).
You can also use headphones during movie playback.

 If you use the Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function with an external 
microphone, the sound noise may be recorded. During sound recording, 
using the wireless communication function is not recommended.
  When connecting an external microphone or headphones to the camera, 
be sure to insert the plug all the way in.
  The camera’s built-in microphone will also record the operation sound 
and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Use the 
Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to reduce these 
sounds in the movie.
  Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
  When using headphones for audio, noise reduction will not be applied to 
the headphone output. Because of this, what you hear will differ from the 
actual audio recorded with the movie.
  When listening to the sound with headphones, do not change the 
[Sound recording ] settings. Doing so may cause a sudden increase in 
the sound level and hurt your ears.
  In the < A> mode, [ Sound recording ] can be set to [On] or [ Off]. If [ On] 
is set, the sound-recording level wi ll be adjusted automatically (same as 
with [ Auto]), but the wind filter function will not take effect.
  When the camera is connected to a TV set with an HDMI cable, the 
sound will also be output (except when [ Sound rec.: Disable] is set). If 
there is audio feedback when the sound is output from the TV set, place 
the camera farther away from the TV set or turn down the TV sound 
volume.
  The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be 
adjusted.
  Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.

The time code is a time reference 
recorded automatically to synchronize 
the movie during movie shooting. It is 
recorded at all times in the following 
units: hours, minutes, seconds, and 
frames. It is mainly used during movie 
editing.
Use [z5: Time code ] (the [z3] tab in 
< A > mode) to set the time code.
Rec run : The time code counts up only  while you are shooting a 
movie. The time code will c ontinue in the sequence of the 
movie files captured.
Free run : The time code counts up whether you are shooting a 
movie or not.
You can set the time code’s initial point (start time).
Manual input setting : You can freely set the hour, minute, second, and 
frames.
Reset : The time set with [Manual input setting ] and 
[ Set to camera time ] is reset to “00:00:00.” or 
“00:00:00:” (p.368).
Set to camera time :
Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the 
camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be set to “00”.

 Time code
The time code can be appended to a movie that is output via HDMI.
Enable : Appends time code to HDMI video output. When [ Enable] 
is set, [ Rec Command ] will be displayed.
Disable : Time code not appended to HDMI video output.
  Record command
When a video output via HDMI is recorded by an external recording 
device, the camera’s movie shooting start and stop can sync with the 
recording by an external recording device.
Enable : The movie shooting start and stop sync with the recording 
by an external recording device.
Disable : The recording start and stop are controlled by the external 
recording device.
HDMI
  During High Frame Rate movie shooting, when outputting a movie via 
HDMI with [ Count up] in [Time code ] set to [Free run ], the time code 
will not be appended to the HDMI video output.
  To check whether your external recording device is compatible with the 
[Time code ] or [Rec Command ], consult the manufacturer of the 
external recording device.
  Even if you set [ Time code] to [Disable ], time code may be appended to 
the movie depending on the specifications of the external recording 
device. For specifications of time  code for HDMI input, consult the 
manufacturer of the external recording device.

368
If the frame rate is set to  2 (119.9 fps),  8(59.94 fps), or  6(29.97 
fps), the time code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the 
actual time and time code. When [ Enable] is set, this discrepancy is 
corrected automatically. This correcti on function is called “drop frame.” 
This is for advanced  users editing movies.
Enable : The discrepancy is corrected  automatically by skipping time 
code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
Disable : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows: Enable (DF) :  00:00:00. (Playback time: 00:00:00.00)
Disable (NDF) :  00:00:00: (Playback time: 00:00:00:00)
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is  3(100.0 fps),  7(50.00 fps),  5(25.00 fps), 
B (24.00 fps), or  4(23.98 fps), the drop frame will not work. (If  3/
7 /5 /B /4  is set or if [ 53: Video system ] is set to [For PAL], 
[ Drop frame ] will not be displayed.)
