Full HD Video Capture

The EOS-1D Mark IV captures video with
all the benefits of shooting with an EOS

SLR. It allows for full use of
Canon EF lenses, including
wide angle, macro, tilt-shift
lenses and more. By shoot­ing video with a large sen­sor camera, it’s simple to

take advantage of the image
quality and characteristics intrinsic to SLR photography.
The photographer has access to the EOS-1D Mark IV’s
extended ISO sensitivities, and can control exposure and
depth-of-field with ease.

Resolution and Frame Rates

Full HD video captured at 1920 x 1080
resolution can be shot at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second,
for up to 4GB per clip. Videos are saved as MOV files and
can be viewed in Full HD with the EOS-1D Mark IV’s HDMI
output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 780
(50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps).

SLR Effects in Motion

In the EOS-1D Mark IV’s manual Video mode,
users can control depth-of-field and sense of

motion, creating gorgeous background blur.
Exposure can be determined and set even in complex
lighting situations, maintaining the same look and feel
through an entire scene, not just the initial shot, and
minimizing camera noise that can occur when the aper­ture changes due to exposure adjustment mid-clip. The
EOS-1D Mark IV has a built-in microphone for simple
mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded
through an external
microphone.
Playback and simple
editing can even be
done in-camera, and
video can be played
on televisions by
using an analog AV
or HDMI cable.

“

he images shot in
the EOS-1D

T

Mark IV’s movie mode
really have to be seen to
be believed. The pictures

produced in
extremely
low light
due to the

stunningly
sensitive CMOS sensor
offer the cinematogra­pher completely new
ways of visualizing
nighttime exterior scenes
while shooting at high
ISO settings. I especially
appreciate that Canon
has responded to film­makers’ requests for
24/25 frame rate as
well as fully manual
aperture adjustments. I
personally see the Canon
EOS-1D Mark IV as an
invaluable tool in the
professional filmmaker’s
arsenal.”
