k Shooting Movies
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 163-164.
If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages
150 and 151.
You can also focus by pressing the <p> button.
One continuous movie will be recorded as one file.
During movie shooting, the top, bottom, left, and right parts of the screen
will have a semi-transparent mask. The area enclosed by the semi-
transparent mask will be the movie image that is recorded. The semi-
transparent mask size will change depending on the [Movie rec. size]
setting (p.160).
AE lock is possible by pressing the <A> button (p.110).
In all shooting modes except <a>, the ISO speed (100-6400 or
expanded to 12800), shutter speed, and aperture will be set
automatically.
Pressing the shutter button halfway displays the shutter speed and
aperture (p.156) on the screen’s bottom left. This is the exposure setting
for taking a still photo (except for <a>).
The sound is recorded in monaural by the camera’s built-in microphone
(p.16).
Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external
microphone equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.16).
The sound recording level will be adjusted automatically.
You can use Remote Controller RC-6/RC-1/RC-5 (sold separately, p.114)
to start and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is <Q> or <k>.
With RC-6/RC-1, set the 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.
Pressing the shutter button halfway displays the ISO speed and shutter
speed at the screen bottom. This is the exposure setting for taking a still
photo (p.158). 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.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6, the total shooting time will be
as follows: At 23°C/73°F: Approx. 1 hr. 20 min., At 0°C/32°F: Approx. 1
hr. 10 min.
