Recording will end
automatically when the maximum length
is reached, or the memory card is full.
A Maximum Length
The maximum length for individual movie files is 4 GB (for
maximum recording times, see page 74); note that depending on
memory card write speed, shooting may end before this length is
reached.
A Taking Photographs
To take a photograph while recording is in progress, press the
shutter-release button all the way down.
Movie recording will end
(the footage recorded to that point will be saved) and the camera
will return to live view.
Except at a frame size of 640 × 424, the
photograph will be recorded at the current image area setting with
an aspect ratio of 16 : 9.
Note that the exposure for photographs
can not be previewed during movie live view; mode e, f, or g is
recommended but accurate results can be achieved in mode h by
adjusting exposure during live view photography (0 49) and then
ending live view photography, starting movie live view, and
checking the image area.
Exposure compensation for the
photograph can be set to values between –5 and +5 EV, but only
values between –3 and +3 can be previewed in the monitor
(0 137).
D Frame Size
The area used for metering exposure or auto white balance when
photographs are recorded at a movie frame size of 1920 × 1080;
30 fps; crop, 1920 × 1080; 25 fps; crop, or 1920 × 1080; 24 fps;
crop (0 74) is not the same as the area in the final photograph,
with the result that optimal results may not be achieved. Take test
shots and check the results in the monitor.
