Notes on Movie Shooting
Playback and Connection to TV
If the brightness suddenly changes greatly during movie shooting, that
part might look momentarily still when you playback the movie.
If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.140) and
display the Live View image while shooting a movie at [1920x1080], the
image displayed on the TV set will be small. However, the movie itself
will be recorded in the [1920x1080] size as set.
If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.139-140) and display the Live View
image while shooting a movie, the TV will not output the sound. (The sound will
be properly recorded, but the camera will not output the sound to the TV set.)
If you use a card having a slow writing speed, the five-level indicator
on the right might appear during movie shooting. It indicates how
much data has not yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of
the internal buffer memory). The slower the card, the faster the
indicator will climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie
shooting will stop automatically. If the card has a fast writing speed,
the indicator will either not appear or the level will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
Recording and Image Quality
The movie will be recorded in the MOV format.
The movie will be recorded in the Picture Style currently set.
The movie will be recorded in the sRGB-equivalent color space
optimized for movies.
Exposure
With [Screen settings] set to [Movie display] or during movie shooting,
you can adjust the image brightness (exposure compensation) by setting
the power switch to <J> and turning the <5> dial (except in 1/C
modes).
During movie shooting, you can lock the exposure (AE lock) by pressing
the <A> button. To cancel the AE lock, press the <S> button. (The
metering timer will not operate.)
Center-weighted average metering will be used for movie shooting. If the
AF mode is set to [Liveu (Face detection) mode], the exposure control
will be evaluative metering linked to the detected face.
