Third-party headphones can be used. Note that high sound levels may result in high volume; particular care should be taken when headphones are used.

The Live View Display: Movies

A count down will be displayed 30 s before live view ends automatically (the timer turns red if live view is about to end to protect the internal circuits or, if an option other than No limit is selected for Custom Setting c4—Monitor off delay > Live view; 0 Monitor off Delay—5 s before the monitor is due to turn off automatically). Depending on shooting conditions, the timer may appear immediately when live view is selected. Movie recording will end automatically when the timer expires, regardless of the amount of recording time available.

Headphone volume can not be adjusted during recording. If an option other than I (microphone off) is currently selected, microphone sensitivity can be changed to any setting other than I while recording is in progress.

The Movie Crop

Movies have an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 and are recorded using a crop that varies with the frame size and the option selected for Choose image area in the movie shooting menu (0 Frame Size, Frame Rate, and Movie Quality, Choose Image Area).

1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720 (DX) 1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720 (1.3×) 3840 × 2160

Movie crop sizes are given below:

  • At a frame size of 3840 × 2160, the movie crop is approximately 16.2 × 9.1 mm, regardless of the option selected for Choose image area. The apparent focal length is approximately 1.5× greater than that for DX format.
  • With DX selected for Choose image area and a frame size of 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720, the movie crop is approximately 23.5 × 13.3 mm.
  • With 1.3× selected for Choose image area and a frame size of 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720, the movie crop is approximately 18.0 × 10.1 mm. The apparent focal length is approximately 1.3× greater than that for DX format.

Taking Photos in Movie Mode

To take photos in movie mode (either in live view or during movie recording), select Take photos for Custom Setting g1 (Custom control assignment) > Shutter-release button (0 Custom Control Assignment). Photos with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 can then be taken at any time by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down. If movie recording is in progress, recording will end and the footage recorded to that point will be saved.

Photographs are recorded in the format selected for Image quality in the photo shooting menu (0 Image Quality). For information on image size, see "Image Size" (0 Image Size). Note that the exposure for photographs can not be previewed when the live view selector is rotated to 1; accurate results can be achieved in mode M by previewing exposure with the live view selector rotated to C.

Image Size

The size of photos taken in movie mode varies with the movie frame size (0 Frame Size, Frame Rate, and Movie Quality) and, in the case of photos taken at frame sizes of 1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720, with the image area and the option selected for Image size in the photo shooting menu (0 Image Size).

Frame size Image area Image size Size (pixels)
3840 × 2160 3840 × 2160

1920 × 1080

1280 × 720

DX Large 5568 × 3128
Medium 4176 × 2344

If the camera is connected to an HDMI device, the view through the lens will appear both in the camera monitor and on the HDMI device.

If Record movies is selected for Custom Setting g1 (Custom control assignment) > Shutter-release button (0 Custom Control Assignment), the shutter-release buttons on optional wireless remote controllers and remote cords (0 Other Accessories) can be pressed halfway to start live view or pressed all the way down to start and end movie recording.

Movies are recorded in the sRGB color space. Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor and in the final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or with subjects that are in motion, particularly if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves horizontally at high speed through frame (for information on reducing flicker and banding, see Flicker reduction, 0 Flicker Reduction). Flicker may also appear while power aperture is in use. Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and bright spots may also appear. Bright regions or bands may appear in some areas of the frame with flashing signs and other intermittent light sources or if the subject is briefly illuminated by a strobe or other bright, momentary light source. 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. Note that noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) and unexpected colors may appear if you zoom in on the view through the lens (0 Live View Zoom Preview) in movie mode.

Flash lighting can not be used.

Recording ends automatically if the lens is removed or the mode dial or the live view selector is rotated to a new setting.

Using live view for extended periods may cause the grip and areas of the camera around the monitor to become hot. This does not indicate a malfunction.

This area becomes particularly hot.

A beep may sound if you adjust aperture, use the live view selector, or rotate the mode dial during live view. This does not indicate an error or malfunction.
