Movie Shooting Time
With a 4GB card, you can shoot a movie in [1920x1080] for about 12
min. At [640x480], about 24 min. (Based on Canon's testing
standards.)
You can shoot movies up to about 90 min. total at 23°C/73°F. Or up to about
80 min. total at 0°C/32°F (with a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6).
About the Screen
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.121).
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), the movie shooting screen
will always be displayed.
In the d/s/f/a/F modes, if [LV func. setting] is set to
[Stills+movie], you can still shoot movies by pressing <0> even if [Screen
settings] has been set to [Stills display] or [Exposure simulation].
