Video Features

Recording Options

Video recording options are numerous and slightly unintuitive. Full 1920x1080 resolution is available, but only in 30p and cinematic 24p. 60p is also available, but it's necessary to step down to 1280x720. Compression settings are ALL-I or IPB, the former of which is the higher quality option. Find out how the performed in our video image quality test./r:link_to_content

Video Controls

Video shooting controls are almost as deep as their still shooting counterparts. If you're willing to shoot in manual mode, all variables such as shutter, aperture, and ISO are all unlocked, all while a recording is in progress. Autofocus cannot be set to continuous servo while in video mode, however the AF-On button will command the contrast-detection system to acquire a lock at any time. Focus zone may also be changed on the fly. This level of flexibility still isn't something we see on every SLR, even at this level of the market, so we're happy to see it here.

Audio Features

The 6D features both a wind filter and attenuator, which may be enabled or disabled individually. Microphone recording level may be set manually, automatically, or disabled entirely. A microphone jack resides on the left side of the body, and two-channel level display is available while a recording is in progress.
