EOS CAMERAS
level. And the range of focal lengths is simply
staggering. With over 60 lenses available,
including the Canon EF 8–15mm f/4L Fisheye
USM, the world’s first real fisheye zoom lens
that functions as a circular fisheye and full-
frame fisheye for a full size CMOS sensor, and
as a full-frame fisheye for APS-C sizes, there’s
an EF or EF-S lens for everyone. No matter the
photographer, no matter the situation, Canon
lenses help ensure quality results.
Sound Recording Level Adjustment
To ensure the best possible recording of
sound, a number of EOS cameras offer a host of
user-controlled sound recording adjustments.
The manual sound recording level can be
adjusted to one of 64 levels, and an optional
wind filter can minimize unwanted excess
sounds. Whether recording through an external
microphone (on certain EOS models) or through
the camera’s internal mic, this important
feature means more audible voices, less
unwanted noise, and better overall sound.
Movie Digital Zoom
Movie Digital Zoom, found on models like the
EOS 70D and EOS Rebel T3i cameras, make it
possible to zoom while shooting video from
3x to 10x, adding a whole new level of drama
to video clips.
Automatic Splitting of Video Files
The FAT file system’s 4GB size limit cannot be
changed, but it no longer has to interrupt video
capture. Should a video file reach the 4GB limit
during shooting on select EOS cameras, a new
file is automatically created, enabling recording
to continue without interruption. Sequential
files can later be joined in an editor with
seamless results.
Advanced Video Recording Options
Shooting HD video with an EOS camera, it’s
simple to take advantage of the image quality
and characteristics intrinsic to cameras with
large sensors. Found on all EOS cameras, the
large sensor means more high quality pixels,
the potential to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities
without loss of detail and full use of Canon EF
and EF-S/EF-M lenses with their wealth of focal
lengths, depth-of-field and other creative
shooting features. Most EOS cameras feature
1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture, delivering
professional frame rates, adaptive exposure
tools and phenomenal image quality. Select
EOS DSLR cameras offer users a choice between
All-I and IPB compression and support High
Profile under the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard,
combining high image quality with high coding
efficiency and producing files that are well
suited for transmission or broadcast. It auto-
matically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT
limitation) without interruption and offers the
option of timecoding at all times (Free Run) or
only during recording (Rec Run), useful for
multi-camera shots. It also features improved
sound recording adjustment capabilities,
offering 64-step volume control accessible
through the quick settings screen during video
shooting. The sensor technology in select
models significantly increases image quality,
reducing color artifacts and moiré.
Interchangeable EF/EF-S/EF-M Lenses – Creative video shooting is at your fingertips.
Movie Servo AF – Movie Servo AF allows continuous autofocus tracking of moving subjects while recording video.
Macro lenses let you
get up close for
detailed shots of small
subjects.
Fisheye lenses impart an
extraordinary perspective and
angle-of-view far beyond the
limits of human vision.
Telephoto lenses
Canon’s amazing telephoto lenses
bring the action closer, emphasizing
the subject at hand.
Wide-angle lenses are
perfect for shooting in tight
spaces or to capture large
expanses.
Tilt-shift lenses allow you
to control the area of focus.
Manual Control
For complete creative decision-making on the
go, select EOS cameras offer flexible manual
controls for their movie modes. Not only can
one take advantage of the range of ISO
sensitivities, it’s simple to control exposure
and depth-of-field, all of which can have a
profound effect on the mood of a scene. It’s all
as easy as the press of a button. By controlling
depth-of-field, it’s simple to create gorgeous
background blur. Exposure can be determined
and set even in complex lighting situations,
maintaining the same look and feel throughout
an entire scene, not just the initial shot.
Movie Servo AF
For accurate focus tracking during video shooting,
Canon developed Movie Servo AF, found on select
EOS cameras. Movie Servo AF takes advantage of
the Hybrid CMOS AF systems on the EOS Rebel
T5i, EOS Rebel SL1 and EOS M cameras, and the
Dual Pixel CMOS AF system on the new EOS 70D
camera. It locks focus on its subject with great
speed and tracks it, throughout the composition,
to keep it focused. Movie Servo AF automatically
tracks subjects’ distance as their position moves
through the frame. On the EOS 70D, Dual Pixel
CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF work in concert
to provide smooth and consistent autofocus
tracking, even on fast-moving subjects. When
cameras featuring Movie Servo AF are used with
one of Canon’s STM lenses, continuous AF
performance is remarkably quieter and smoother.
Depth-of-field
When shooting a video on an EOS camera, it’s
simple to control each shot’s depth-of-field, an
option previously available only when filming
with expensive professional cinema cameras.
Thanks to the physical size of the CMOS sensors
in EOS cameras, combined with the large
maximum apertures achieved by Canon lenses,
depth-of-field, or lack thereof, can be a creative
decision reached solely by the photographer. If
a large aperture is chosen, thus creating
shallow depth-of-field, evocative, dramatic
moving images with blurred backgrounds can
be attained with ease, something simply not
possible with smaller sensors or compact
cameras. If everything must be in focus,
shooting with a small aperture helps ensure
phenomenal depth-of-field, for illustrative
landscapes, architecture or anything else
where all details must be recorded. The drama,
beauty and mood achievable by controlling a
video clip’s depth-of-field cannot be overstated
— and an EOS camera controls it with ease.
Frame Rates
In select models, EOS Full HD video can be
captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution, for up to
4GB per clip. Videos are saved as MOV files
and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output.
Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720
(50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps).
No matter the end-application, the proper
resolution and frame rate is easily defined
with EOS cameras.
Resolution fps
1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 30P (29.97), 25P, 24P (23.976)
1280 x 720 (HD) 60P (59.94), 50P

Select EOS cameras feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD video
capture and offer the enhanced image quality, smooth frame
rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in
professional movie-making tools. By shooting video with an
EOS camera, it’s simple to take advantage of the image
quality and characteristics intrinsic to large sensor cameras,
resulting in richer, more detailed and more diverse images.
The large sensor found in EOS cameras means more high
quality pixels plus the potential to shoot at higher ISO
sensitivities without loss of detail.
EOS Full HD Video Advantage
EOS Full HD Video
EOS cameras increase shooting
flexibility for the videographer
in that they allow for full use of
Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including wide-angle,
macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye,
providing a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-
field and other creative shooting options once
reserved for still photography. All Live View AF
features can also be used in shooting video, and
playback modes are available in-camera, with
sound. Combined with their size, image quality
and flexibility, EOS cameras with Full HD video
capture are superlative all-in-one, multimedia
image-capturing tools.
Large CMOS Sensor
With amazing Canon CMOS sensors, video is
easy to shoot, and looks better than ever before.
Large sensors provide a look and perspective
impossible to achieve with traditional video
cameras, and the quality must be seen to be
believed. Large sensors also capture more
light, and can record at high ISO sensitivities
with less digital grain and reduced image noise.
This enables low-light shooting, without loss of
detail, in situations previously impossible without
artificial light. Although many devices offer HD
recording, the quality of video captured by an
EOS camera and its CMOS sensor is markedly
vibrant and truer to life.
Movie Crop
The Movie Crop function on the
EOS 60D camera enables zooming
at 7x the captured focal length for
distant action and extreme close-ups. This
feature is perfect when the chosen subject is
in a crowd, like a specific athlete, or when it’s
impossible to get close to the action. Recorded
as a VGA video, Movie Crop shots are perfect for
emailing, posting online, or editing into other
video clips.
Video Snapshot
With the Video Snapshot feature,
found on select EOS cameras, short
video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds)
can be stitched together, in-camera, into one
video file as a “snapshot album”, perfect for
sharing online, or displaying to an HDTV directly
from the camera. In the EOS 70D, EOS Rebel T5i
and EOS Rebel SL1 cameras, the Video Snapshot
feature makes in-camera editing even simpler:
still images can be recorded during video
shooting simply by pressing the camera’s
shutter button. During playback, video clips in
an album can be reordered or deleted.
Creative Capabilities with EOS Lenses
From fisheye to super-telephoto, the amazing
Canon EF, EF-S and EF-M lenses offer a
stunning combination of sharpness, speed,
compactness and flexibility — the perfect
complement to a user’s creativity. With the ability
to create images of great beauty and with
controlled depth-of-field, interchangeable
lenses bring video shooting to a whole new
