 Movie Servo AF will not function.
 The shutter speed will be in the range from 1/4000 to 30 sec.
 If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or slower, the exposure of the movie may 
not be displayed properly (may differ from that of the resulting movie).
 Do not zoom the lens during time -lapse movie shooting. Zooming the 
lens may cause the image to be out  of focus, the exposure to change, or 
the lens aberration correction not to function properly.
 When shooting a time-lapse movie under a flickering light, noticeable 
image flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures may be 
recorded.
 The image displayed during time-lapse movie shooting and the resulting 
movie may look different (in terms of flicker, depth of field, etc.).
 If you move the camera from left to right (panning) or shoot a moving 
subject while shooting a time-lapse movie, the image may look extremely 
distorted.
 During time-lapse movie shooting, auto power off will not take effect.

Enable].When [Enable] is set:
•The camera focuses on the subject continuously even when you 
are not pressing the shutter button halfway.
• If you want to keep the focus at a  specific point, or if you do not 
want the lens mechanical s ound to be recorded, you can 
temporarily stop Movie Servo AF  as follows. When you stop Movie 
Servo AF, the AF point will turn  gray. When you perform the same 
steps below, Movie Servo AF will resume.
• Tap the [
Z] icon on the lower left of the screen.
• Press the  button.

AF method
The AF methods are the same as described on pages 276-285. You 
can select [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], or [FlexiZone - 
Single
].
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 distance in front of the camera.
• Also see “Shooting Conditions that  Make Focusing Difficult” on page 
284.
 Since this drives the lens continuous ly, it will consume battery power and 
shorten the total possible movie shooting time (p.309).
 With certain lenses, the lens mec hanical sound during focusing may be 
recorded. If this happens, use a commercially-available external 
microphone to reduce the lens mechanical sound in the movie. Also, 
using certain USM lenses (for example, the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS 
USM) or certain STM lenses (for example, the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS 
STM) will reduce the lens mechanical sound to be recorded.
 Movie Servo AF will pause during zooming or in magnified view.
 During movie shooting, if a subject approaches or moves away or if the 
camera is moved vertically or horizontally (panning), the recorded movie 
image may momentarily expand or contract (change in image 
magnification).
 If you want to set the lens’s focus mode switch to < MF> during Movie 
Servo AF, first set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to 
< A >.

Movie Servo AF speedO
You can set the Movie Servo AF’s AF 
speed and its operation conditions.
This function is settable when [
Movie 
Servo AF
] is set to [Enable] and [AF 
method] is set to [FlexiZone - Single]. 
Additionally, the function is enabled 
when using a lens s upporting slow focus 
transition during movie shooting*.
When active:[Always on] sets the AF adjustment speed to take effect 
at all times for movie shoot ing (before and during movie 
shooting). [
During shooting] sets the AF adjustment 
speed to take effect only during movie shooting.
AF speed: You can adjust the AF speed  (focus transition speed) 
from standard speed to slow (one of seven levels) or 
fast (one of two levels), to obtain the desired effect for 
movie creation.
* Lenses supporting slow focus transition during movie shooting
USM lenses released in and af ter 2009 (for example, the EF-S 18-
135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) and STM lenses (for example, the EF-S 18-
55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM) support slow  focus transition during movie 
shooting. For details, refer to the Canon website.
If [ AF method ] is set to [u+Tracking ] or [FlexiZone - Multi ], the operation 
will be the same as when [ AF speed] is set to [ Standard (0)].

Movie Servo AF tracking sensitivityO
You can change the Movie Servo AF’s 
tracking sensitivity to one of seven 
levels. This affects the responsiveness of 
AF tracking sensitivity when the AF 
points stray from the subject, such as 
during panning or when an obstacle cuts 
across the AF points.
This function is settable when [
Movie 
Servo AF
] is set to [Enable] and [AF 
method
] is set to [FlexiZone - Single].
Locked on: -3/-2/-1This setting makes the camera less incli ned to track a different subject if 
the AF point loses the original subj ect. The closer the setting is to the 
minus (-) symbol, the less the camera is inclined to track a different 
subject. It is effective when you want to prevent the AF points from 
rapidly tracking something that is  not the intended subject during 
panning or when an obstacle cuts across the AF points.
Responsive: +1/+2/+3
This makes the camera more responsiv e when tracking a subject that 
covers the AF point. The closer the  setting is to the plus (+) symbol, the 
more responsive the camera is. It is  effective when you want to keep 
tracking a moving subject as its di stance from the camera changes, or 
to rapidly focus on another subject.
If [ AF method] is set to [ u+Tracking ] or [FlexiZone - Multi ], the tracking 
sensitivity will be equivalent to the [ 0] setting.
