White  and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons  If the camera’s internal temperatu re increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or a high ambien t temperature, a white  icon will appear. 
Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the movie’s image 
quality will not be affected. However,  if you shoot still photos, the image 
quality of the sti ll photos may deteriorate. You should st op shooting still 
photos and allow the ca mera to cool down.
  If the camera’s internal temperatu re further increases while the white 
 icon is displayed, a red  icon may start blinking. This blinking 
icon is a warning that movie shoo ting will soon be terminated 
automatically. If this happens, you will  not be able to shoot again until the 
camera’s internal temperature decrea ses. Turn off the power and let the 
camera rest for a while.
  Movie shooting at a high temperatur e for a prolonged period will cause 
the < s> and < E> icons to appear sooner. Wh en not shooting, turn off 
the camera.
Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality  If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will 
operate at all times even  if you do not press the shutter button halfway. 
The Image Stabilizer will thereb y consume battery power and may 
shorten the total movie shooting time or  decrease the number of possible 
shots. If you use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is  not necessary, you 
should set the IS switch to < 2>.
  The camera’s built-in microphone will  also record camera operation 
noise. Using a commercially-availabl e external microphone can prevent 
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
  Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
camera’s external micr ophone IN terminal.
  If movie shooting is not possible due to insufficient remaining capacity of 
the card, the movie recording size  and movie shooting remaining time 
(p.146) will be displayed in red.

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality If you use a card having a slow  writing speed, a five-level 
indicator might appear on the  right of the screen during 
movie shooting. It indicates ho w much data has not yet been 
written to the card (remaining ca pacity of the internal buffer 
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will 
climb upward. If the indicator  becomes full, movie shooting 
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing sp eed, the indicator will either 
not appear or the level (if disp layed) will hardly go upward. 
First, shoot a few test mo vies to see if the card can write fast enough.
If you take still photos  during movie shooting,  the movie shooting might 
stop. Setting a low image-recording qu ality for still images might resolve 
this problem.
Playback and TV connection  If the brightness changes  during autoexposure movi e shooting, that part 
might look momentarily still  when you playback the movie. In such cases, 
shoot movies with manual exposure.
  If you connect the  camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.218) and 
shoot a movie in [ 1920x1080] or [1280x720 ], the movie being shot will 
be displayed at a small size on the TV . However, the actual movie will be 
properly recorded at the movi e recording size that was set.
  If you connect the  camera to a TV set (p.218 , 221) and shoot a movie, 
the TV will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
sound will be p roperly recorded. Indicator

About FoldersAs with “ 100CANON ” for example, the folder name  starts with three digits 
(folder number) followed by five alphan umeric characters. A folder can contain 
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a  folder becomes full, a new 
folder with a higher one-up folder nu mber is created automatically. Also, if 
manual reset (p.171 ) is executed, a new folder wi ll be created automatically. 
Folders numbered from 10 0 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal ComputerWith the card open on the scre en, create a new folder named “ DCIM”. Open 
the DCIM folder and create as many  folders as necessary to save and 
organize your images . The folder name must follow the “ 100ABC_D” format 
where the first three digits is 100 -  999 followed by five alphanumeric 
characters. The five charac ters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case 
letters from A to Z, numera ls, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in 
the folder name. Also, folder names cann ot have the same three-digit number 
such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”  even if the letters are different.

The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the 
images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file 
number is assigned.
The file number will appear on y our computer in this format: 
IMG_0001.JPG .
Under the [5] tab, select [ File 
numbering ], then press < 0>. The 
available settings are described below. 
Select one, then press < 0>.
  [Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even 
after you replace the card or create a folder.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file 
numbering continues in sequence up  to 9999. This is convenient 
when you want to save image s numbered anywhere between 0001 
to 9999 in multiple cards or folder s into one folder in your personal 
computer.
If the replacement card or existi ng folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file num bering of the new images might 
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or 
folder. If you want to use continuou s file numbering, you should use 
a newly-formatted card each time.
