[. . . ] If you take still photos during movie shooting while drive mode is set to <Q> or <k>, <u> (single shooting) will take effect automatically. You can use Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 (sold separately, p. 102) to start and stop the movie shooting. With RC-1, set the timing switch to <2> (2-sec. If the switch is set to <o> (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect. If the movie shooting is not possible due to the insufficient remaining capacity of the card, movie recording size and movie shooting remaining time (p. 112) will be displayed in red. Live View Shooting Cautions for Stills and Movies Notes About the Live View Image Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image. However, for movies, the movie image displayed will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor. If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used. If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live View image's correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting. If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. In still photos, such bright areas will be recorded properly as a bright area. In movies, the bright areas will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor. 125 Live View Shooting Cautions for Stills and Movies Notes About the Live View Image Under low light, the Live View image might show chrominance noise. In still photos, chrominance noise is not recorded. However, in movies, it will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor. When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is. Notes About the Shooting Results When you shoot continuously with Live View function for a long period, the camera's internal temperature may increase and it can degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting images. Before taking a long exposure or shooting a movie, stop Live View shooting temporarily and wait several minutes before shooting. Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may cause noise or irregular colors. If you shoot still photos at a high ISO speed or shoot a movie in low light, horizontal stripes may become noticeable as noise. If you take the picture while the image is magnified, the exposure might not come out as desired.
