Sound recording  J
Normally, the built-in microphones will 
record stereo sound. If a commercially-
available external stereo microphone 
equipped with a mini plug (3.5 mm 
diameter) is connected to the camera’s 
external microphone IN terminal (p.26), it 
will be given priority.
[Sound rec./Rec. level ] options
[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 look at the level meter while 
pressing the < Y> < Z> keys to adjust the sound-
recording level. Look at the peak hold indicator 
(approx. 3 sec.), 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.
[Wind filter ]
When set to [ Auto], it reduces wind noise when there is wind 
outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the built-in 
microphones. When the wind filter  function takes effect, low bass 
sounds will also be reduced.
[Attenuator ]
Even if you set [ Sound recording ] to [Auto ] or [Manual] before 
shooting, sound distorti on may still result if there is a very loud 
sound. In such a case, setting it to [ Enable] is recommended.

automatically (same as with [ Auto]), and the wind filter function will take 
effect.
 The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be 
adjusted.

General Movie Shooting Cautions
White  and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
 If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie 
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white < s> or red  
icon will appear.
 The white < s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. It is recommended that you stop still photo shooting for a 
while and allow the camera to cool down. Since movie image quality will 
hardly be affected, you can still shoot movies.
 The red < E> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated 
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the 
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the 
camera rest for a while.
 Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause 
the < s> or < E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, 
always turn off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality

If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer 
(IS)  sw itch  to  , the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you 
do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes 
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, it is recommended to set the IS switch to <
2>. The camera’s built-in microphones will also pick up camera operation 
noise. Use an external microphone (c ommercially available) to reduce 
camera operation noise in the movie.
 Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the 
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.

If the brightness changes during autoex posure movie shooting, the movie 
may freeze temporarily. In such cases, shoot movies with manual 
exposure.
 If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may 
appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost 
exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
 In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie 
will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
 If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may 
deteriorate or playback may not be po ssible (even if the devices support 
MP4 format).

General Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
If you use a card with a slow  writing speed, a five-level 
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie 
shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been 
written to the card (remaining capacity 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 speed, the indicator will either 
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. 
First, shoot a few test movies to  see if the card can write fast enough.
Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting
 Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page 
218.
Playback and TV Connection
 If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.298-301) and shoot a movie, 
the TV set will not output any sound  during the shooting. However, the 
sound will be properly recorded.
Indicator
Restrictions on MP4-format MoviesNote that generally the following restrictions apply to MP4-format movies.
 Sound will not be recorded on approx. the last two frames.
 When you play back movies on Wi ndows, images and sound may 
become slightly out of synchronization.

Selecting a Folder
With the folder selection screen 
displayed, select a folder and press 
.
 The folder where the captured 
images will be saved is selected.
 Subsequent captured images will be 
recorded into the selected folder.
Number of images in folder
Folder name Lowest file number
Highest file number
FoldersAs with “ 100CANON” for example, the folder name starts with three digits 
(the folder number) followed by five  alphanumeric characters. A folder can 
contain up to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder 
becomes full, a new folder with the  folder number increased by one is 
created automatically. Also, if manual  reset (p.262) is executed, a new 
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can 
be created.
Creating Folders with a ComputerWith the card open on the screen, 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 format 
“ 100ABC_D”. The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999. 
The last five characters can be an y combination of upper- and lower-case 
letters from A to Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space cannot be 
used. Also note that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit 
folder number (for example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”), even if the last 
five characters in each name are different.
