optimized for professional shooting, a compact and lightweight body for
highly mobile movie making, high reliability even in harsh environments, a
highly expandable camera system, and adaptability to diverse workflows.
Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further
Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have
captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how
they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety
Warnings” (p.88-90) and “Handling Precautions” (p.8, 9).
Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been
properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the
images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon
cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
Copyrights
Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded
images of people and certain subjects for anything but private
enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions,
etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.

Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near
anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated
before using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to
check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
Handling Precautions
9
Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black
in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the
lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.

Notes on Movie Shooting are on page 27.
For information related to card operation confirmation, refer to Canon
website, etc.
17
k Preparing to Shoot Movies
With EF Cinema single focal length lenses, you can shoot at all movie-
recording quality settings. If you use an EF Cinema zoom lens, you can
shoot movies only with I Super 35mm Crop. (Since the image circle
is small, the image periphery will be dark if you shoot a movie in H A
B C quality or still photo.)
Use a large-capacity card with a fast writing/reading speed (required
card performance) as shown in the table. First, shoot a few test movies
to see if movies can be recorded accurately with a movie-recording size
you set (p.34).

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 writing/reading speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s website.
To optimize the card’s performance, format the card before shooting
movies. For card-formatting cautions, see zpage 55.

If [ISO speed range]’s [Minimum] is set to [L (50)] and you switch from
still photo shooting to movie shooting, the manual ISO speed setting
range’s minimum for movie shooting will be ISO 100. It cannot be
expanded to ISO 50.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture, or zooming the lens during
movie shooting, is not recommended since the changes in the exposure,
or noise at high ISO speeds, may be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.
to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less
smooth the subject’s movement will look.
If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
If ISO Auto is set, you can press the <A> button to lock the ISO speed.
When you press the <A> button and then recompose the picture, you

Notes on Movie Shooting
The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.
If you use AF during movie shooting, the focus may become greatly
blurred momentarily and the exposure may change.
If you use a USM lens and perform AF while shooting a movie in low
light, horizontal noise stripes may be recorded. With certain lenses
having an electronic focusing ring, horizontal noise stripes may be
recorded even when you focus manually (MF).
Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming
the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the
lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be
recorded as a result.
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may
damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set
to [Rec. to multiple] (zp.118), the movie cannot be recorded to both
Card 1 <f> and Card 2 <g>. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to
multiple] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card which is set for
[Playback].
If <Q> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie
shooting, the white balance may also change.
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may
flicker.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, color tone may be changed
depending on the movie-recording size settings.
When you press the <u> button, the “x5” or “x10” figure displayed on
the screen’s bottom right indicates the magnification based on 35mm
full-frame sensor size.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 55 and 56.

Notes on Movie Shooting
Movie-related settings are under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (p.51).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size
exceeds 4 GB for a single movie shoot (single clip), a new file will be
created.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [A]).
You can also focus the image by pressing the <p> button.
To focus during movie shooting, press the <p> button. You cannot
focus by pressing the shutter button.
Sizes of AF points and a magnification frame displayed in information
display (p.26) depend on the movie-recording size setting (p.34).
Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.18).
By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped
with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal,
stereo sound recording is possible (p.13, 40). You can also feed sound
through Line input (p.39).
By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available) equipped
with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal (p.13), you
can listen to the sound during movie shooting.
The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a
(super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed
since the second half of 2011.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time
(with H shooting) will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room
temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 15 min. at low temperature
(0°C/32°F).

With the EOS-1D C’s firmware Ver. 1.3.0 or higher, lens aberration
correction (peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration
correction) with EF Cinema lenses (those that can communicate with
the camera) is possible.
Use EOS Utility
(provided software) to
register the correction data to the
camera. If EOS Utility’s correction data
registration screen does not show the EF
Cinema lens, update EOS Utility to the
latest version.
The setting procedure is on zpages
155-157.
Lens Aberration Correction with EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses
Cautions for Using EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses
EF Cinema lenses with PL mount are not supported.
EF Cinema lenses require the aperture to be adjusted manually.
Therefore, they are not suitable for autoexposure shooting (p.18) and
shutter-priority AE shooting (p.19) for which the aperture is set
automatically to suit the brightness.
If the EF Cinema lens is not fitted with a function for sending information
to the camera, the aperture will be indicated as “00.” Also, the lens name
and other information will not be recorded in the Exif information.
If the EF Cinema lens can send information to the camera, the aperture
will be displayed as the f/number (not as the TNo.).
The color tone of movies shot with EF lenses and EF Cinema lenses is
different. Compared to EF lenses, EF Cinema lenses tend to make
movies look slightly more yellow.
When you shoot a still photo using an EF Cinema lens, lens aberration
correction (peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration
correction) is not applied. Correction is applied only for movie shooting.
Additional cautions regarding the use of EF Cinema lenses may be
announced on the Canon website, etc.

If [z5: Movie shoot. btn] is set to [V/o], still photo shooting is not
possible.
Since the image circle of EF Cinema zoom lenses does not support the
image size of 35mm full-frame size image sensor, still photo shooting is
not possible. (The image periphery will look dark.)
AEB cannot be used.
Even if an external Speedlite is used, it will not fire.
Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting.
However, the captured images will not be displayed on the monitor.
Depending on the still photo’s image-recording quality, number of shots
during continuous shooting, card performance, etc., the movie shooting
may stop automatically.
If you plan to shoot still photos continuously during movie shooting, it is
recommended that you use a card with a higher performance than those
specified by “Required Card Performance” on page 17. Setting a smaller
image size for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos are
also recommended.
You can shoot still photos in all drive modes.
The self-timer can be used before you start shooting a movie. If used
during movie shooting, the self-timer will switch to single shooting.

Movie recording method and compression method
J MJPG : When shooting in H, Motion JPEG is used to
compress the movie recorded. Each frame is
compressed separately and recorded without
compression between frames. The
compression rate is therefore low. Since the
image size is large, the file size will also be
large.
X IPB : Efficiently compresses multiple frames at a
time for recording. Since the file size will be
smaller than with ALL-I, you can shoot longer.
W 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.
Still photo shooting (p.31) is not possible if H, I, or A:8/7 is set.
While I, A:8/7, A:6/5 movie-recording sizes all record at
Full HD resolution, the recorded image may look slightly different
between each setting.
The 8/7 and 6/5 frame rate will switch automatically in accordance
with the [53: Video system] setting. H: 5 will be displayed when
[53: Video system] is set to [PAL].

3 Setting the Sound Recording
Using the microphone
The built-in microphone records monaural sound. Stereo sound
recording is possible by connecting an external stereo microphone
(commercially-available) equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5
mm) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.13). When
an external microphone is connected, sound recording will switch
automatically to the external microphone.
Line input
Stereo sound from a sound mixer, etc., can be directly input to the
camera. With a mini plug (3.5mm dia.) connected to the Line input
terminal (p.13), the sound will be recorded to the movie in stereo.
The standard input level is -8 dBV. Adjust the sound-recording level
to suit the Line output level.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
When using Line input, an audio signal of up to +6 dBV can be input, but
the distortion ratio may increase if the signal exceeds the standard input
level (-8 dBV). It is recommended to shoot a few test movies before the
actual shooting.
For Line input, be sure to set [Sound rec.] to [Line input]. If you try to
use Line input without setting [Line input] first, it may cause a
malfunction.
When [Line input] is set, the sound will not be recorded with the built-in
microphone. Also, [Wind filter] cannot be set (disabled).
Do not switch between [Manual] and [Line input] while listening with
headphones. It can hurt your ears.
Both L and R record audio at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
If [z5: Silent Control] is set to [Enable h] (p.42), you can adjust the
sound-recording level with the <
h> touch pad to reduce the operation
noise during movie shooting.

3 Setting the Sound Recording
Using headphones
By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available)
equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone
terminal (p.13), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting. If
you are using an external stereo microphone, you can listen to the
sound in stereo.
To adjust the headphone’s sound volume, press the <Q> button,
then hold down the <J> button and tilt the <9> up or down. The
sound volume level is not displayed on the screen. Adjust while
listening to the headphones.
You can also use headphones during movie playback.
The audio output to the headphones will not have noise reduction applied. It
will therefore be different from the sound recorded with the movie.

Image Quality when Canon Log gamma is set
When Canon Log gamma is set, vertical noise stripes may appear in
movies depending on subject or shooting conditions. It is
recommended to shoot a few test movies and check before the
actual shooting.
Vertical noise stripes tend to appear when the subject is dark and flat
or [Peripheral illumin.] is set to [Enable]. This noise may also
appear when ISO speed is relatively low, such as at ISO 400.
Additionally, the noise may become more noticeable when
A:8/7 is set compared to when other movie-recording sizes are
selected.
When the noise is noticeable, it is recommended to set [Peripheral
illumin.] to [Disable], shoot in brighter exposure, and perform
brightness adjustment during color grading. Also, noise may be
decreased when you shoot at ISO speed lower than ISO 320 (even
though the dynamic range will be narrowed).

Setting the Canon Log Gamma
Canon Log gamma is a movie characteristic to attain wide dynamic
range. As a result, the image displayed on the LCD monitor has low
contrast and is somewhat dark compared to when a Picture Style is set.
With View Assist, the movie image will be displayed on the LCD monitor
with a conspicuous characteristic. This makes it easier to check the
angle of view, details, etc.
Note that even if View Assist is set, it will not affect the movie recorded
to the card. (The movie will be recorded to the card with Canon Log
gamma.)

View Assist display with HDMI output
If [View Assist.] is set to [On] and you shoot a movie in H, the
View Assist will also apply to the HDMI output (p.53 to 54) image.
Note that View Assist will not work with a movie-recording quality
other than H.

Setting the Canon Log Gamma
When [Peripheral illumin.] is set to [Enable], Canon Log gamma icon
on the information display screen (p.26) blinks, since noise may appear
in the movie image periphery.
If you set Canon Log gamma, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, and
highlight tone priority cannot be set (not applied) for movie shooting.
Also, still photo shooting during movie shooting is not possible.
If you set Canon Log gamma, although AF is not possible, AF point
(p.26) is displayed (when the lens focus mode switch is set to <AF>).
Even if you switch [Canon Log] to [Off], you cannot revert to the original
settings for shooting mode, AF mode, and ISO speed. Set them again if
necessary.
When Canon Log gamma is set, dynamic range will be approx. 800 % at
ISO 320 or higher.
If you use HDMI output and the movie-recording quality is other than H,
the movie will be output without View Assist, regardless of the [View
Assist.] setting. This makes it possible to record the HDMI movie to an
external recording device with the Canon Log gamma without
information (p.53 to 54).
If H is set for the HDMI output, it will be output in Full HD (1080 60i/50i)
with masking for indicating image area (4K output is not possible). Since
the HDMI movie shot in H is mainly used for proxy editing or movie
checking, the movie will be output with View Assist if [View Assist.] is

The time code is a time reference
recorded automatically to synchronize
the video and audio during movie
shooting. It is recorded at all times in the
following units: hours, minutes, seconds,
and frames. It is mainly used during
movie editing.
Set the time code with
[z5: Time code].
[Rec run] : The time code counts up only while you are shooting
a movie. The time code will be continuous across
sequential movie files.
[Free run] : The time code counts up whether you are shooting or
not.
You can set the time code’s start time.
[Manual input setting] : You can freely set the hour, minute, second,
and frame.
[Reset] : The time set with [Manual input setting] and
[Set to camera time] is reset to 00:00:00. or
00:00:00: (p.50).

If you change the setting for either [Movie play count] in [z5 (movie):
Time code] or for [x3: Movie play count], the other setting will also
change automatically.
“Frames” are not displayed during movie shooting and movie playback.
49
3 Setting the Time Code
Time code
You can append the time code to a movie that was output from
HDMI. This is convenient for proxy editing after the movie output
from HDMI is recorded to an external recording device (p.54).
[On]: Time code is appended to the HDMI output image.
[Off]: Time code is not appended to the HDMI output image.
Recording command
When you record a movie that is output from HDMI to an external
recording device, you can synchronize the camera’s movie shooting
start/stop with the external recording device’s recording operation.
[On]: Synchronize external recording device’s recording start/stop
with camera’s movie shooting start/stop.
[Off]: Control external device’s recording start/stop from external
recording device.
HDMI
If the movie-recording quality’s frame rate (p.36) and HDMI output frame
rate are set manually to NTSC and PAL frame rates in a combination that
does not function properly, the time code will not be appended to the HDMI
output image.
50
3 Setting the Time Code
If the frame rate setting is 6(29.97 fps) or 8(59.94 fps), the time
code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and
time code. This discrepancy can be corrected automatically. This
correction function is called drop frame.
[Enable] : The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping
time code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
[Disable] : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows:
[Enable] (DF) : 00:00:00. (During playback: 00:00:00.00)
[Disable] (NDF) : 00:00:00: (During playback: 00:00:00:00)
Drop Frame
When the frame rate is 4 (23.98 fps), 5 (25.00 fps), or 7 (50.00 fps),
there will be no dropped frames. (If 4 is set or [53: Video system] is set to
[PAL], [Drop frame] option will not be displayed.)
51
[z4] Menu
When you select [Movies] under [z4:
LV z/k set.], the [z4] [z5] tabs for
movie shooting will appear. The menu
options are as follows.
AF mode
The AF modes are the same as described on zpages 213 to 219.
You can select [Live mode], [u Live mode], or [Quick mode]. Note
that continuous focusing of a moving subject is not possible.
Even if the AF mode is set to [Quick mode], it will switch to [Live
mode] during movie shooting.
Grid display
With [3x3 l] or [6x4 m], you can display grid lines to help you
level the camera vertically or horizontally. Also, with [3x3+diag n],
the grid is displayed together with diagonal lines to help you align the
intersections over the subject for better balance in the composition.
Movie recording size
You can set the movie recording size (image size, frame rate, and
movie recording/compression method). For details, see pages 34 to
38.
Sound recording
You can set sound recording settings. For details, see pages 39 and
40. Regarding headphones, see page 41.

Movie shooting button
The default setting is [V/o]. You can thereby start and stop the
movie shooting not only with the <B> button, but also by
pressing the shutter button completely or using Remote Switch RS-
80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately).
(zp.183)
Note that when [V/o] is set, still photo shooting (p.31) is not
possible. The [o] setting will enable still photo shooting during
movie shooting.
53
3 Menu Function Settings
HDMI output + LCD
Movies displayed on the LCD monitor as they are being recorded
can also be displayed from the HDMI output. The default setting is
[Mirroring]. Note that the video from the HDMI output will be
displayed without the shooting information or masking for indicating
image area (output without information overlay: through display).
This makes it convenient to record the HDMI output image to a
commercially-available external recording device.
If [No mirroring] is set, the movie will be displayed on the LCD
monitor, but if there is HDMI output, the LCD monitor will turn off.
With this setting, the movie from the HDMI output will show the
shooting information and masking for indicating image area.
However, by pressing the <B> button, you can eliminate the
information from the output.
If the HDMI movie is output without information, the card’s remaining
capacity, battery level, internal temperature increase (p.55) and other
indicators will not appear on the HDMI output screen. Be aware of this if
[No mirroring] is set. If [Mirroring] is set, you can check these
indicators on the LCD monitor.
When you are not shooting movies, the power will turn off automatically
in accordance with the auto power off time. If you are recording the HDMI
output image to an external recording device, setting [52: Auto power
off] to [Disable] (zp.57) is recommended.
Audio is not output during HDMI output.
Even if [
Mirroring
] is set, no image will be displayed through the HDMI
output when a movie is played back or menu is displayed.
Even if [z4: Movie recording size] is set to H
, the HDMI movie will be
output in Full HD (1080 60i/50i) with masking for indicating image area.
When you stop movie shooting, the HDMI output image will pause (frame
stop) while the movie is being recorded to the card. After the recording is
completed, the image will be displayed normally.
Simultaneous output from both HDMI and A/V OUT is not possible. The
movie will be output to the cable that was connected to the terminal last.
During A/V OUT output, nothing will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
The brightness of a movie shot by the camera and that of a recorded
HDMI output image on the external recording device may differ
depending on the viewing environment.

By pressing the <B> button, you can change the information
displayed on the screen.
You can append a time code to the HDMI output image (p.49).
If the frame rate set manually is not compatible with the external
recording device, the frame rate will be set automatically.
If [Movie recording size] is set to frame rate 4 when [HDMI frame
rate: 60i] is set, “2-3 pulldown” will be performed.

Movie Shooting Cautions
White <s> and Red <E>
Internal Temperature Warning Icons
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white icon <s> will
appear. Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the
movie’s image quality will hardly be affected. However, if you shoot still
photos, the image quality of the still photos may deteriorate. It is
recommended to stop still photo shooting for a while and allow the
camera to cool down.
If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white
icon <s> is displayed, a red icon <E> will start blinking. This blinking
icon indicates that movie shooting will soon stop automatically. If this
happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal
temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a
while.
Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <s> and <E> icons to appear earlier. When you are not shooting,
turn off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will
operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway.
The Image Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total
movie shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you
use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended
to set the IS switch to <2>.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. In movies, the bright areas will be
recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. In movies,
the bright areas will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on
the LCD monitor.
56
Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie
shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting
Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on
zpage 221.
Playback and TV Connection
In autoexposure shooting, shutter-priority AE, or aperture-priority AE
modes, if the brightness changes during movie shooting, the movie may
freeze temporarily. In such cases, shoot movies with manual exposure.
If you shoot a movie in H resolution with ISO speed set to H2 (ISO
204800), the movie may look momentarily still when you play back the
movie on the camera.
If you connect the camera to a TV set and shoot a movie (zp.273,
276), the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the
sound will be properly recorded.

This indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the
white < > icon is displayed, still photo image quality may deteriorate.
If the red <E> icon is displayed, movie shooting will soon stop
automatically (p. 55).
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. See page 17 for the writing/reading speed required
(Required Card Performance) for the respective movie-recording
quality. To find out the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s website.
Shoot a few test movies to see if movies can be recorded accurately
with a movie-recording size you set (p.34) on the card.
If the shooting mode is <d/s/f/BULB>, the ISO speed will be set
automatically. In the <a> mode, you can freely set the ISO speed
(p.24).
Under [z2: ISO speed settings], if [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum]
is set to [51200/H] or higher, the manual setting range’s maximum will
be expanded to enable ISO 32000/40000/51200 to be set. However,
since movie shooting at ISO 32000/40000/51200 may result in
substantial noise, the expanded ISO speed (“H” displayed) will be
used.

speed will switch to ISO 25600 (during movie shooting with manual
exposure). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO
speed will not revert to the original setting.
If you shoot a movie when L (ISO 50) is set, the ISO speed setting will
switch to ISO 100 (during movie shooting with manual exposure).
Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not
revert to the original setting.
If you use an EF Cinema zoom lens, set I. Any setting other than
I will cause the movie image periphery to be dark.
If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the
changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the
exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes
or not. Changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result.
If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning)
or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted.
Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be caused by
fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during movie shooting.
Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color tone may also be
recorded. In the <
a
> mode, a slow shutter speed may solve the problem.
The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to
movie shooting.
The movie image periphery looks dark.
The exposure changes during movie shooting.
The subject looks distorted.
The screen flickers or horizontal stripes appear.

Troubleshooting Guide
To shoot still photos during movie shooting, using a card with a higher
performance than the “Required Card Performance” on page 17 is
recommended.
Setting a smaller image size for the still photos and shooting fewer
continuous shots may resolve the problem.
Set [z5: Movie shoot. btn] to [o].
You cannot shoot still photos during movie shooting if any of the
following is set: Canon Log gamma, H, I, A:8/7.
Since the image circle of EF Cinema zoom lenses does not support
the image size of 35mm full-frame size image sensor, still photo
shooting is not possible. (The image periphery will look dark.)
If you want to apply lens aberration correction when using an EF
Cinema lens (p.29), use EOS Utility (provided software) to register the
correction data to the camera. If EOS Utility’s correction data
registration screen does not show the EF Cinema lens, update EOS
Utility to the latest version.
Check that the [
Lens aberration correction
] menu is set to
[
Correction data available
]. If [
Correction data not available
] is
displayed, use the provided EOS Utility software to register the lens’
correction data to the camera (
z
p.155-157).
When you shoot a still photo using an EF Cinema lens, lens aberration
correction is not applied. The lens aberration correction is applied only
during movie shooting. Peripheral illumination correction, distortion
correction, or chromatic aberration correction of RAW images shot
with an EF Cinema lens will not be possible when the RAW image is
processed (zp.290).
When I shoot still photos during movie shooting, the movie
shooting stops.
I cannot shoot still photos during movie shooting.
Lens aberration correction is not applied.
73
Troubleshooting Guide
Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy
between actual time and time code. When you want to edit a movie
using the time code, it is recommended not to shoot still photos during
movie shooting.
When Canon Log gamma is set, shooting mode will be automatically
switched to manual exposure. If ISO Auto is set, it will be automatically
switched to manual ISO speed setting (p.43).
When Canon Log gamma is set, vertical noise stripes may appear in
movies depending on subject or shooting conditions. For details, see
page 44.
When Canon Log gamma is set, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer,
and Highlight tone priority cannot be set (not applied) for movie
shooting.
If H is set, chromatic aberration correction cannot be set (disabled).
Canon Log gamma has been set. If necessary, set View Assist (p.43
and 45).
View Assist will not be displayed with the HDMI output if a movie-
recording quality other than H is set. (The movie will be output with
Canon Log gamma.)
View Assist is not displayed during movie playback.
The time code is off.
Shooting mode is automatically set to <a> or cannot
shoot with ISO Auto.
Vertical noise stripes appear.
Highlight tone priority and other settings cannot be set.
The movie looks dark or the contrast is low.
View Assist is not displayed.
74
Troubleshooting Guide
When Canon Log gamma is set and [Peripheral illumin.] is set to
[Enable], Canon Log gamma icon on the information display screen
blinks, since noise may appear in the movie image periphery.
AF is not possible when Canon Log gamma is set.
If H, I or A:8/7 is set, AF is not possible in the f mode.
Even if the AF mode is set to f, it will switch to d during movie
shooting.
If the movie-recording quality’s frame rate setting is set to a value that
does not function properly in combination with the NTSC/PAL frame
rate, the time code will not be appended to the HDMI output image.
When the movie shooting ends, the HDMI output image pauses (frame
stop). When writing to the card is completed, the movie is output
normally.
If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting,
the movie shooting will stop. If you shoot movies while using HDMI
output, you should use the provided Cable protector and clamp to
prevent the cable from disconnecting accidentally.
Canon Log gamma icon blinks.
AF is not possible.
The time code cannot be appended during HDMI output.
The HDMI output image has a temporary frame stop.
Movie shooting stops if I connect or disconnect the
HDMI cable.
75
Troubleshooting Guide
Movies edited with a personal computer cannot be played back with
the camera.
Movies shot with Canon Log gamma or shot in H, A:8/7 cannot
be played back by another EOS camera.
If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the
operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone
(commercially available) is recommended (p.40).
During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the
exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness
stabilizes. If this happens, shoot in the <a> mode (p.23).
Use the stereo AV cable that came with the camera (zp.276).
Make sure the stereo AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the
way in (zp.273, 276).
Set the video OUT system (NTSC/PAL) to the same video system as
the TV set (zp.276).
Even if you play back an image when [z5: HDMI output + LCD] is
set to [Mirroring], the image will not appear on the TV specified as
HDMI output.
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB for a single movie shoot (single
clip), another movie file will be created automatically (p.37).
Movie Playback Problems
The movie cannot be played back.
When the movie is played back, camera operation
noise can be heard.
The movie has still moments.
No image appears on the TV screen.
There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot.

Safety Warnings
Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death,
and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
• To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the
safeguards below:
- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this
booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do
not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose
the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery
pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.
- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not
mix new and old or different types of batteries.
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range
of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.
- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,
accessories, connecting cables, etc.
• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a
physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)
• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts
with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent
fire or an explosion.
• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,
immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging
and prevent a fire.
• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or
fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.
• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a
physician immediately.
• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord
can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.
• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the
insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the
camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause
skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact burns. The use of a tripod is
recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when
using the camera in very hot places.
• Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.
• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away.
89
• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and
disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and
fire.
• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or fire.
• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do
not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause
electrical shock.
• Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.
Doing so may damage your vision.
• Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally
choke the child.
• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock.
• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
• To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:
- Always insert the power plug all the way in.
- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.
- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord.
Also do not twist or tie the cords.
- Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.
- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged.
• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around
the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet
may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
90
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The
equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause
injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.
• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap
attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.
• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap
heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera,
promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so
may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up
battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact
your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.
