For manual exposure video shooting, the exposure settings (ISO speed, shutter speed, and
aperture) set for the video shooting wil
l be used for still shooting. When you press the
shutter button during video shooting, a frozen video image (minimum-size still photo) will
be recorded during a 1-second delay. An imitation shutter sound will also be heard. When
the still photo has been recorded to the memory card and the Live View image appears,
video shooting resumes automatically. The card will have recordings of one video file along
with separate files of the still photos taken.
Although continuous shooting of stills during video recording is also possible, the LCD
monitor will be shut off until the still shooting sequence ends. A UDMA-compatible CF card
is recommended for continuous still shooting, but even with a UDMA-compatible CF card,
the video shooting might stop automatically while shooting depending on the number of
still shots, still image size, subject, CF card brand and so forth.
During single-image display, a video icon is displayed on the upper left part of the screen for
video files. On 4-image and 9-image index displays, the left edge of the video clip’s thumbnail
image will have a perforation. If you wish to display only videos, use the [Image jump
w/Quick Control Dial] menu to select [Movies]. During single-image display with this
setting active, turning the Main Dial will browse through videos only.
Pressing SET while a video is displayed will display the playback panel on the bottom of the
LCD monitor display. You can select Play, Slow motion, First frame, Previous frame, Next frame,
Last frame or Edit. The built-in speaker
is on the lower right on the camera back.
On the playback screen, the sound volume
can be adjusted to one of six levels includ-
ing mute. Videos shot with the EOS 5D
Mark II, EOS 7D or the EOS Rebel T1i can
be played back on the EOS-1D Mark IV.
However, although videos shot with the
EOS-1D Mark IV can be played back on the
1D Mark IV or the 7D, they cannot be
played back on the 5D Mark II or the T1i.
Playing back a video with the camera and viewing it on a TV set is the easiest way to see
the EOS-1D Mark IV’s beautiful image quality. When the camera is connected with an
HDMI (or AV) cable, the camera will automatically set the optimum resolution to match
the TV set. The HDMI video output options are: 1080/60i, 1080/50i, 480/60p and
576/50p. Because the camera sets the optimum resolution automatically, there is nothing
special you need to do.
