A Complete Video Capturing Tool COMMERCIAL/TV Unique Video Capture Advantages With the ability of the EOS 7D's Movie mode in capturing 1920 x 1080 Full HD video, photographers, videographers and cinematographers have discovered the very special qualities of Canon EOS HD Video. With a large-format Canon CMOS imaging sensor - larger than a single frame of cinema-format 35mm film - and using the range of superb Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the new EOS 7D produces HD video with exquisite depth-offield characteristics, remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions and deep, noise-less blacks. 111 Frame Rates and Recording Options The EOS 7D makes available a wide range of frame rates and video formats: For Full HD (1920 x 1080), the available frame rates are 30 (29.970) fps for NTSC, 25 fps for PAL, and 24 (23.976) fps for cinematography, for up to 4GB per clip. For Standard HD (1280 x 720), the available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for NTSC and 50 fps for PAL. For SD (VGA - 640 x 480), the available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for NTSC and 50 fps for PAL. Video is captured with progressive scanning and recorded in the MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video, uncompressed linear PCM audio) using a variable bit rate. All video formants, including Full HD Video, can be viewed on an HDTV via the HDMI output. 111 Manual Exposure Control The more control the photographer or filmmaker has over the technical aspects of a shoot, the more refined the final product. The EOS 7D offers completely flexible exposure control for its movie modes, allowing for complete creative control. Exposure can be determined and set even in complex lighting situations, maintaining the same look and feel through an entire scene, and minimizing the internal camera noise that can occur when the aperture changes due to exposure adjustment mid-clip. 111 Beyond the Moving Image A new dedicated Live View/Video Start- Terminals Terminal cover Stop button makes it easy to enter and PC terminal Remote control terminal (N3 type) External microphone IN terminal Audio/Video OUT Digital terminal HDMI mini OUT terminal exit the video shooting mode.

I use the EOS 7D for movie and TV stunts; I now have 23.98fps, the essential speed for all TV drama. It also has very low noise levels at speeds higher than we are used to in film. The EOS 7D is my main shooting tool for lighting and line up shots." Rodney Charters 14 31032
