ISO Speed in Basic Zone Modes
The ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - ISO 6400.
ISO Speed in < d>, < s>, and < f> Modes
The ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - ISO 6400.
 Under [ 54: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], if [2: ISO expansion] is set 
to [ 1: On ], the maximum speed will be expanded to H (equivalent to 
ISO 12800).

Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] 
is set to [
1: Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400.
 General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 253-254.
 If necessary, also read the General Live View Shooting Cautions on 
pages 218-219.
In Basic Zone modes, the shooting result will be the same as with < A>. 
Also, the scene icon for the scene detected by the camera is displayed 
on the upper left (p.224).
 In the < f> and < s> shooting modes, movies will be taken with the 
same settings as in the < d> mode.
 Settable menu functions differ between Basic Zone modes and Creative 
Zone modes (p.358).
 Shutter speed and aperture are set automatically.
 In Creative Zone modes, you can press the < A> button (p.162) to lock 
the exposure (AE lock). The exposure  setting will be displayed for the 
number of seconds set with [ Z1: Metering timer ]. After applying AE 
lock during movie shooting, you can cancel it by pressing the < S> 
button. (AE lock setting is retained until you press the < S> button.)
 In Creative Zone modes, you can hold down the < g> button and turn 
the < 6> dial to set the exposure compensation.
 Pressing the shutter button halfway displays the shutter speed and ISO 
speed on the screen’s bottom. This is the exposure setting for taking a 
still photo (p.227). The exposure setting for movie shooting is not 
displayed. Note that the exposure setting for movie shooting may differ 
from that for still photo shooting.
 If you shoot a movie with autoexposure, the shutter speed and aperture 
will not be recorded in the image information (Exif).

During movie shooting in a Basic Zone mode, an icon representing the 
scene detected by the camera will be displayed and the shooting will be 
adapted to that scene. For certain scenes or shooting conditions, the 
icon displayed may not match the actual scene.
*1: Displayed only when the AF method is set to [u +Tracking]. If another AF 
method is set, the “Non-portrait” icon will be displayed even if a person is 
detected.
*2: Displayed when the attached lens has dist ance information. With an Extension 
Tube or Close-up Lens, the icon displayed may not match the actual scene.
*3: The icon suiting the scene detected will be displayed.
With autoexposure (modes other than  a) movie shooting, the camera 
will automatically turn on the Speedlite’s LED light under low-light 
conditions.  For details, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual .

5Focus and shoot the movie.
The procedure is the same as steps 3 
and 4 for “Autoexposure Shooting” 
(p.222).
ISO Speed During Manu al Exposure Shooting
With [AUTO], the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 
- ISO 6400.
 You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 6400 in 
whole-stop increments. Under [5 4: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if 
[2: ISO expansion ] is set to [1: On], the manual setting range will 
expand so you can also select H (equivalent to ISO 12800).

Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] 
is set to [
1: Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400.
 Since shooting a movie at ISO 12800 may result in much noise, it is 
designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as “ H”).
 If ISO speed is set to H (ISO 25600) when [ 2: ISO expansion] is set to 
[ 1: On ] under [ 54: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ] and you switch from still 
photo shooting to movie shooting, the ISO speed will be H (equivalent to 
ISO 12800). When you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed 
will be ISO 12800.
 Exposure compensati on cannot be set.
 Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not 
recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
 If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED 
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
When ISO Auto is set, you can press the < A> button to lock the ISO 
speed.
 If you press the < A> button and recompose the shot, you can see the 
exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator (p.227) 
compared to when the < A> button was pressed.
 By pressing the < B> button, you can display the histogram.
 When shooting a movie of a moving subject, 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.

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  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 may 
flicker.
 Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming 
the lens can cause changes in the  exposure regardless of whether the 
lens’s maximum aperture changes  or not. Exposure changes may be 
recorded as a result.
 You cannot magnify the image during movie shooting.
 Be careful not to cover the built-in microphones (p.222) with your finger, 
etc.
 General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 253-254.
 If necessary, also read the General Live View Shooting Cautions on 
pages 218-219.
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, blistering or low-temperature contact 
burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems 
or very sensitive skin, or when us ing the camera in very hot places.

 Movie-related settings are under the [ Z1] and [ Z2] tabs (p.248).
 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]).
 Stereo sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphones (p.222).
 Most external microphones (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 
mm diameter mini plug can be used.

You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.350) to start and 
stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is . Set the shooting timing 
switch to  (2-sec. delay), then press the tr ansmit button. If the switch is 
set to  (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect. With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E17, the total movie shooting time 
will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 20 mi n. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), 
and approx. 1 hr. 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.

While shooting a movie, you can also 
take a still photo by pressing the shutter 
button completely.
Taking Still Photos during Movie Shooting
If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will record 
a still moment lasting approx. 1 sec.

The captured still photo will be recorded to the card, and the movie 
shooting will resume automatically when the Live View image is displayed.
The movie and still photo will be recorded as separate files on the card.
 Functions particular to still phot o shooting are shown below. Other 
functions will be the same as for movie shooting.
