REFERENCE
-
and will be in
(Fine) quality. - Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (3:2 aspect ratio, ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using a 4GB card. These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, aspect ratio, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, and other settings.
- The maximum burst applies to
(high-speed continuous shooting). - If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded simultaneously to the card in both file types at the selected imagerecording quality. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).

- With ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser (provided software), you can extract a still image from the movie. The still image quality will be as follows: Approx. 2 megapixels at [1920x1080], approx. 1 megapixel at [1280x720], and approx. 300,000 pixels at [640x480].
IMPORTANT
- When shooting movies, use a large-capacity SD card rated SD Speed Class 6 "
" or higher. - If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie might not be recorded properly. And if you playback a movie on a card having a slow reading speed, the movie might not playback properly.
