Taking Photographs During Movie Recording
To end movie recording, take a photograph, and exit to live view, press the shutter-release
button all the way down and hold it in this position until the shutter is released.
Maximum Length
Each movie file can be up to 4 GB in size and 20 minutes long; note that depending on

I_ Recording Movies
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under
fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an
object moves at high speed through frame (flicker and banding can be reduced using
Flicker reduction; _ 136). Bright light sources may leave after-images when the camera is
3anned. Jagged edges, color fringing, moire, and bright spots may also appear. Bright
bands may appear in some areas of the frame if the subject is briefly illuminated by a strobe
or other bright, momentary light source. When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera
at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the camera's internal circuitry.
The camera can record both video and sound; do not cover the microphone on the front of
the camera during recording. Note that the built-in microphone may record lens noise
during autofocus and vibration reduction.
Flash lighting can not be used during movie recording.
Live view may end automatically to prevent damage to the camera's internal circuits; exit live
view when the camera is not in use. Note that the temperature of the camera's internal
circuits may rise and noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be
displayed in the following instances (the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this
does not indicate a malfunction):
• The ambient temperature is high
• The camera has been used for extended periods in live view or to record movies
• The camera has been used in continuous release mode for extended periods
If live view does not start when you press the [] button, wait for the internal circuits to cool
and then try again.
Matrix metering is used regardless of the metering method selected. Shutter speed and ISO
sensitivity are adjusted automatically unless On is selected for Manual movie settings
(_ 91) and the camera is in modeM.
