Note:
To ensure a consistent exposure, you should use manual shutter
speed settings, otherwise changes in the subject, e.g. movements,
could cause troublesome brightness fluctuations.
Starting / ending the recording
A recording starts the first time you press the video shutter release
and ends when you press it again.
• A video recording in progress is indicated in the monitor by a
flashing red dot and the elapsed recording time in Live View
mode (see p. 168/234). In the viewfinder, it is indicated by
alternate flashing of the two dots in the digital display. As videos
are recorded in 16:9 format with this camera, black bars
appears in the monitor above and below the image.
Individual pictures can still be taken while a video recording is in
progress. Pressing the shutter release button interrupts the video
recording for the duration of the photo. Individual pictures are
taken with the relevant settings on the camera.
