							3 Setting the Time Code
272
If the frame rate setting is 6  (29.97 fps) or 8 (59.94 fps), the time 
code’s frame count causes a discr epancy 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. (00:00:00.00 during playback)
[Disable ] (NDF) :  00:00:00: (00:00:00:00 during playback)
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is 4 (23.98 fps),  5 (25.00 fps), or  7 (50.00 fps), there 
will be no drop frames. (If  4 is set or if [53: Video system] is set to [PA L ], 
the drop frame option will not appear.)

  AF method
The AF methods are the same as  described on pages 233-242. You

Single ].

  Movie Servo AF
During movie shooting, the camera focuses the subject 
continuously. The default setting is [ Enable].
When [Enable] is set:
• The camera focuses the subject  continuously even when you are 
not pressing the shutter button halfway.
• Since this drives the lens c ontinuously, it will consume battery 
power and shorten the movie shooting time (p.266).
• With certain lenses, the lens operation noise during focusing may  be recorded. To reduce the recordi ng of the lens operation noise, 
use a commercially-available external microphone. With EF-S18-
55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM or EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, 
the lens operation noise is less prone to be recorded.
• If you want to set the lens focus mode switch to < MF> during 
Movie Servo AF, first set the Li ve View shooting/Movie shooting 
switch to < A>.

button, changing the AF method , or other operation will have

• Press the shutter button halfway (only before you start movie  shooting) or press the < p> button to focus.
Cautions When [Movie Servo AF] is Set to [Enable]
 Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult
• A fast-moving subject  approaching or moving away from the camera.
• A subject moving at a close di stance in front of the camera.
• Also see “Shooting Conditions that  Make Focusing Difficult” on page 
241.
  Movie Servo AF will pause during zooming or magnified view.
