NOTE

If [–] is set for both the RAW image and JPEG image, will be set.
If you select both RAW and JPEG, each time you shoot, the image will be recorded simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image qualities that were set. The two images will be recorded with the same file numbers (file extension: .JPG for JPEG and .CR3 for RAW).
is in (Fine) quality.
Even if you use a high-speed SD card, maximum burst indicator will not change. The maximum burst in the table will apply instead.
Meaning of image quality icons: RAW, Compact RAW, JPEG, Fine, Normal, Large, Medium, Small, Dual Pixel RAW.

REFERENCE

The number of possible shots is based on Canon's testing standards and a 32 GB card.
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is based on Canon's standard testing SD card (Standard: 32 GB, High-speed: UHS-II 32 GB) and testing standards ( < > High-speed continuous shooting, still photo cropping/aspect ratio: Full-frame, ISO 100, without Dual Pixel RAW, Standard Picture Style).
The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, card brand, still photo cropping/aspect ratio, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, and other settings.
Automatically set to < > Low-speed continuous shooting when shooting with Dual Pixel RAW.
''Full'' indicates that shooting is possible until the card becomes full with the listed conditions.

Frame rate (fps:frame per second)
119.9fps / 59.94fps / 29.97fps	For areas where the TV system is NTSC (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, etc.).
100.0fps / 50.00fps / 25.00fps	For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.).
23.98fps / 24.00fps	Mainly for motion pictures.

Compression method
ALL-I (For editing/I-only)	Compresses each frame, one at a time, for recording. Although file sizes are larger than with IPB (Standard), movies are more suitable for editing.
IPB (Standard)	Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. File sizes are smaller than with ALL-I (For editing), which enables movie shooting over longer periods (with a card of the same capacity).
IPB (Light)	Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback compatibility will be higher. This will make the possible shooting time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card having the same capacity).

IMPORTANT

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with good enough performances (fast enough writing and reading speeds) to handle the movie recording quality. For details, refer to the Related information.
Format cards before shooting 4K movies.
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 be played back properly.
When shooting movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
When movies cannot be recorded normally, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site, etc.
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before shooting movies is recommended.
To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site, etc.
An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause movie shooting to stop before the total recording time shown in the table.

NOTE

Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting without interruption.

Using SD/SDHC cards formatted with the camera

If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32.

With a FAT32-formatted card, if you shoot a movie and the file size exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically.

When you play back the movie, you will have to play back each movie file individually. Movie files cannot be played back automatically in consecutive order. After the movie playback ends, select the next movie and play it back.

Using SDXC cards formatted with the camera

If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT.

When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 GB during movie shooting, the movie will be saved as a single file (rather than being split into multiple files).

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.

When shooting non-High Frame Rate movies

The maximum recording time per movie is 29 min. 59 sec. Once 29 min. 59 sec. is reached, recording automatically stops. You can start shooting a movie again by pressing the movie shooting button (which records the movie as a new file).

When shooting High Frame Rate movies

The maximum recording time per movie is 7 min. 29 sec. Once 7 min. 29 sec is reached, recording automatically stops. You can start shooting a High Frame Rate movie again by pressing the movie shooting button (which records the movie as a new file).

< 4K Movie Shooting>

Shooting 4K movies requires a high-performance card.
Shooting 4K movies or High Frame Rate movies greatly increases the processing load, which may cause the camera’s internal temperature to increase faster or become higher than for regular movies. If a red icon appears during movie shooting, the card may be hot, so stop shooting the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not remove the card immediately.)
From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save as an approx. 8.3-megapixel (3840×2160) JPEG still image to the card.
