NOTE

In Creative Zone modes, you can press the <> button to lock the exposure (AE lock). The exposure setting will be displayed for the number of seconds set with [ : Metering timer]. After applying AE lock during movie shooting, you can cancel it by pressing the <> button. (AE lock setting is retained until you press the <> button.)
In Creative Zone modes, you can hold down the <> button and turn the <> dial to set the exposure compensation.
Pressing the shutter button halfway displays the shutter speed and ISO speed on the screen’s bottom. This is the exposure setting for taking a still photo The exposure setting for movie shooting is not displayed. Note that the exposure setting for movie shooting may differ from that for still photo shooting.
If you shoot a movie with autoexposure, the shutter speed and aperture will not be recorded in the image information (Exif).

Using Manual Exposure

In the <M> mode, you can freely set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed for the movie shooting. Using manual exposure to shoot movies is for advanced users.

For more information on movie shooting, please refer to the related information.

Shutter speed	To set the shutter speed, turn the <>. The settable shutter speeds depend on the frame rate. , : 1/4000 sec. - 1/60 sec. , , : 1/4000 sec. - 1/30 sec.
Aperture	To set the aperture, hold down the < > button and turn the <> dial.
ISO speed*	Press the <> button and press the <> keys or turn the <> dial to select the ISO speed.

ISO Speed During Manual Exposure Shooting

With [Auto], the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - ISO 6400.
You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 6400 in whole-stop increments. Under [ : Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On], the manual setting range will expand so you can also select H (equivalent to ISO 12800).
Under [ : Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400.

IMPORTANT

Since shooting a movie at ISO 12800 may result in much noise, it is designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as "H").
Under [ : Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On] and you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting, the manual setting range’s maximum will be H (equivalent to ISO 12800). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the original setting.
Exposure compensation cannot be set.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting, image flicker may be recorded.

NOTE

● When ISO Auto is set, you can press the <

> button to lock the ISO speed.

● If you press the <

> button and recompose the shot, you can see the exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator compared to when the <

> button was pressed.

● By pressing the <INFO> button, you can display the histogram.

● When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
