Notes for Movie Shooting
Movie-related settings are under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (p.313). In the
<A> mode, they are under the [z2] and [z3] tabs.
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 approx. 4 GB.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (when the movie
recording size is set to L).
You can also focus on the image by pressing the <p> button.
Under [z5: V button function], if [
/k] [q/k] is selected, you
can press the shutter button completely to start or stop the movie
shooting (p.316).
Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.280).
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.237) to start
and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is <Q> or <k>. Set
the shooting timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit
button. If the switch is set to <o> (immediate shooting), still photo
shooting will take effect.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N, the total movie recording time
will be as follows: At room temperature (23°C/73°F): Approx. 1 hr. 30
min., At low temperatures (0°C/32°F): Approx. 1 hr. 25 min. (with [z4:
Movie Servo AF: Disable] set).
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.
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 using the camera in very hot places.
