*ISO speed during manual-exposure shooting
- With [Auto], the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - 6400.
- You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - 6400 in wholestop 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 - 6400.
CAUTION
- Since shooting a movie at ISO 12800 may result in much noise, it is designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as "H").
- The maximum ISO speed manual setting range is different for movie shooting and still photo shooting. If [2: ISO expansion] under [ : Custom Functions (C.Fn)] is set to [1: On] and you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting, the maximum manual ISO speed will change from "H" for still photos (equivalent to ISO 25600) to "H" for movies (equivalent to ISO 12800). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the original setting.
- You cannot set exposure compensation.
- 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. - After recomposing the picture, you can see the exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator compared to when you pressed the < > button.
- When [Histogram disp] is set to a setting other than [Disable], you can press the <INFO.> button to 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.
