You can manually set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed for 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 < > dial. The settable shutter speeds depend on the frame rate.  ,  : 1/4000 sec. - 1/60 sec. ,  ,  : 1/4000 sec. - 1/30 sec. |

ISO Speed During Manual Exposure Shooting
- With [Auto] (A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - ISO 6400. Under [ : ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum] setting to [12800/H], the maximum ISO speed will be expanded and the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 to H (equivalent to ISO 12800).
- You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 6400 in 1/3-stop increments. Under [ : ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum] setting to [12800/H], the maximum ISO speed for the manual ISO speed setting will be expanded to H (equivalent to ISO 12800). Be aware that when you set [Maximum] to [12800], the maximum ISO speed will not be expanded and remains ISO 6400.
- If [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] , the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400 (depending on the [ISO speed range] setting).
- Under [ : ISO speed settings], [Auto ISO range] or [Min.shutter spd.] cannot be set for movie shooting.
IMPORTANT
- Since shooting a movie at ISO 8000/10000/12800 may result in much noise, it is designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as [H]).
- Under [ISO speed range], if [Maximum] is set to [H (25600)] and you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting, the maximum ISO speed for the manual ISO range during movie shooting will be H (equivalent to ISO 12800). It cannot be expanded to ISO 25600.
- Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
- 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.
- If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
