Notes on Movie Shooting
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. The
use of a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very
sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
If <Q> 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’ maximum
aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result.
Be careful not to cover the microphones (p.177) with your finger, etc.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 204-206.
If necessary, also read “When shooting, note the following:” on pages
132-133.
Movie-related settings are under the [Z1] tab (p.201).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. Each time the file size
exceeds approx. 4 GB, a new file will be automatically created.
The movie image’s coverage is approx. 100% (with movie recording size set
to [A]).
The sound will be recorded in stereo by the camera’s built-in microphones
(p.177).
Most commercially-available external stereo microphones with a 3.5 mm
diameter mini plug can be connected to the camera. If an external
microphone is connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal
(p.23), it will be given priority over the built-in microphone.
You can use the Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.295) to start and
stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is [Q]. 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-E12, the total movie shooting time will
be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 30 min. at room temperature (23
°C/73°F), and
approx. 1 hr. 20 min. at low temperatures (0
°C/32°F).
If the Speedlite 90EX is attached, set the Speedlite’s power to <2>.
The focus preset function is available for movie shooting when using a (super)
telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode, available since the
second half of 2011.
