Movie Servo AF
During movie shooting, the camera focuses on the subject
continuously. The default setting is [Enable].
When [Enable] is set:
The camera focuses on the subject continuously even when you
are not pressing the shutter button halfway.
Since this drives the lens continuously, it will consume battery
power and shorten the total possible movie shooting time (p.325).
With certain lenses, the lens operation noise during focusing may
be recorded. If this happens, use an external microphone
(commercially available) to reduce lens operation noise in the
movie. Also, using the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens will
reduce lens operation noise.
If you want to set the lens's focus mode switch to <MF> during
Movie Servo AF, first set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting
switch to <A>.
If L8(59.94 fps) or 7(50.00 fps) is set, Movie Servo AF will not work.
Also, since contrast detection is used for AF control, it may take longer to
focus.

When the Live View shooting/Movie

movie shooting menu options will appear
under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (the
[z2] [z3] tabs in <A>).
