Note
8K/4K Movie Recording
- Recording 8K or 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see Cards That Can Record Movies.
- 8K/4K movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which may increase the internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. Display of [], white [], or red [] icons during movie recording warns that cards may be hot, so if you need to remove them, stop recording for a while before removal, and do not remove them immediately.
- From a 8K or 4K movie, you can select any frame to save to the card as a JPEG still image ().
- HDMI video output of 8K movies results in 4K movies.
Image Area
The movie image area varies depending on factors such as movie recording quality and cropped shooting settings and the lens used.

Frame Rate (fps: frames per second)
-
: 239.76 fps / : 119.88 fps / : 59.94 fps / : 29.97 fps
For areas where the TV system is NTSC (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, etc.).

For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.).
-
: 24.00 fps / : 23.98 fps
Mainly for cinematic purposes. (23.98 fps) is available when [: System frequency] is set to [59.94Hz:NTSC].
Compression Method
-
: High (Intra-frame)
Compresses each frame, one at a time, for recording. Although file sizes are larger than with Long GOP, movies are more suitable for editing. Available when [: Main rec. format] is set to [XF-AVC S YCC422 10bit].
-
: Standard (Intra-frame)
Because file sizes are smaller than with [], movie recording over longer periods is possible with a card of the same capacity. Available when the resolution is set to / or when [: Main rec. format] set to [XF-AVC S YCC422 10bit].
-
: Light (Intra-frame)
Enables smaller file sizes than with [] because movies are recorded at lower bit rates, and these movies can be played on more devices. This offers a longer available recording time than [] with a card of the same capacity. Available when the resolution is set to / or when [: Main rec. format] set to [XF-AVC S YCC422 10bit].
-
: Standard (Long GOP) / : Light (Long GOP)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. Because file sizes are smaller than with intra-frame, movie recording over longer periods is possible with a card of the same capacity.
Cards That Can Record Movies
For details on cards that can record movies, see Cards That Can Record Movies.
See Estimated recording time, movie bit rate, file size, and card performance requirements for details on SD cards.
Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your specified size ().
Caution
- Before recording 8K or 4K movies, format cards by selecting [Low level format] in [: Format card] ().
- If you use a slow-writing card when recording 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 be played back properly.
- When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
- When movies cannot be recorded properly, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer's website, etc.
- Recording to SD cards may not be possible, depending on the movie recording size. Pressing the movie shooting button will not start recording. For details, see Specifications.
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
- Individual movie files exceeding 4 GB cannot be recorded to SD cards.
- With SDHC cards, once the movie file size reaches 4 GB, a new movie file is created automatically. During playback, these files are automatically played consecutively.
- With CFexpress or SDXC cards, individual movies are recorded as a single file, even if they exceed 4 GB.
Caution
- When importing movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either EOS Utility or a card reader (). It may not be possible to save movie files exceeding 4 GB if you attempt this using standard features of the computer's operating system.
- Multiple files are displayed for any single movie file exceeding 4 GB that you transfer from an SDHC card to a computer. Deleting the first file will prevent playback of the remaining movie files.
- When connecting to a computer with an interface cable, do not use the computer to delete movie files on the camera. Movie files may not be recognized correctly.
