and will be in
(Fine) quality. - The file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (3:2 aspect ratio, ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using an 8 GB card. These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, aspect ratio, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, and other settings.
- Figures in parentheses apply to an UHS-I class 8 GB card based on Canon’s testing standards.

] : Mainly for motion pictures.- Compression method
-IPB : Compresses multiple frames at a time
efficiently for recording. Since the file size will be smaller than with ALL-I, you can shoot longer.
-ALL-I (I-only) : Compresses one frame at a time for recording.
Although the file size will be bigger than with IPB, the movie will be more suited for editing.
NOTE
- Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting without interruption.During movie shooting, approx. 30 sec. before the movie reaches the 4 GB file size, the elapsed shooting time or time code displayed in the movie-shooting image will start blinking. If you keep shooting until the movie file size exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically and the elapsed shooting time or time code will stop blinking.When you play back the movie, you will have to play each movie file individually. Movie files cannot play back consecutively automatically.After the movie playback ends, select the next movie to be played.
- The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. You can start shooting a movie again by pressing the <
> button. (A new movie file starts being recorded.)
IMPORTANT
- Use a large-capacity card when shooting a movie at the following write/read speeds.
IPB:6 MB/sec. or faster
ALL-I (I-only):20 MB/sec. or faster
- If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
- If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an even faster card.
- To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.
- An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause movie shooting to stop before the maximum recording time shown in the table above.
