Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon's 4GB testing card and Canon's testing standards (JPEG quality 8, ISO 100, and Standard Picture Style). These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, and other settings.
REFERENCE
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicates the number of shots that can be taken during [ 
] high-speed continuous shooting on a formatted card. The figures in parentheses indicate the number of shots that can be taken with an Ultra DMA (UDMA) mode 6 16-GB card, based on Canon's testing standards.

C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong], the maximum burst will be greatly reduced.

- After you start shooting a movie, the movie shooting will stop automatically if the file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie time reaches 29 min. 59 sec. To start movie shooting again, press the < FEL > button. (A new movie file starts being recorded.)
- With ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser (provided software), you can extract a still photo from the movie. The still photo quality will be as follows: Approx. 2.07 megapixels at [1920x1080], approx. 920,000 pixels at [1280x720], and approx. 310,000 pixels at [640x480].
IMPORTANT
- When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast writing/reading speed. The CF card's speed should be 8MB/sec. or higher. And the SD card should be rated SD Speed Class 6 "
" or higher. - If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie might not be recorded properly. And if you playback a movie on a card having a slow reading speed, the movie might not playback properly.
- Even if the [
Record func+media/folder sel.] menu option has been set to [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple], a movie cannot be recorded simultaneously to both the CF card [ 
] and SD card [ 
]. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] has been set, the movie will be recorded to the card which has been set for [Playback].
