- Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon's testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using a 4GB card. These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.
- The maximum burst applies to high-speed continuous shooting. Figures in parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) 4GB card based on Canon's testing standards.
IMPORTANT
If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded simultaneously to the card in both types at the selected image-recording 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).

NOTE
- After you start shooting a movie, the movie shooting will stop automatically if the file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie time reaches 29 min. 59 sec. To shoot a movie again, press the < START/STOP > button. (A new movie file starts being recorded.)
- The semi-transparent mask on the top and bottom and on the left and right will not be recorded.
- 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 card having a read/write speed of at least 8 MB/sec.
- If you use a card having a slow writing speed when shooting movies, the movie might not be recorded properly. Also, if you playback movies on a card having a slow read/write speed, movie might not playback properly.
