For further information on how to shoot movies, please refer to the instruction manuals that came with your camera.

CAUTION
  • If [ AWB ] 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 lighting, the movie image might flicker.
NOTE
  • With the ISO speed set to Auto, you can shoot a movie as if it were in aperture-priority AE mode (fixed aperture, standard exposure).
  • If [C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - 6400.
  • When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject's movement will look.
  • Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since variations in the exposure, due to the drive of the lens aperture, will be recorded.
