Displaying the feature guide for the digital zoom
- The feature guide description of the digital zoom function that appears on the LCD monitor of the EOS 600D may need to be clarified slightly. As such, we are revising this description.
Answer :
When using the digital zoom, the image can be magnified while maintaining the full HD image size of [1920×1080]. However, because the image is processed digitally, the higher the magnification, the rougher the image will look. Please refer to p.152 of the user’s manual for full information about use of the digital zoom.Displaying the feature guide for the digital zoom
The digital zoom function for full HD shooting is a new feature on the EOS 600D. You can display the feature guide description for the digital zoom function by following the steps below.- Under the Set-up 2 tab in the camera’s MENU, select [Feature Guide], and then select [Enable].
- Set the Mode Dial to <>.
- Select the Q button (Quick button) to select the movie recording size.

Saving Movies on DVDs or Blu-ray Discs
-
The software that comes with the camera does not have a function for saving movies or still images that have been imported to a PC on DVDs or Blu-ray discs. Please use commercially available software to make DVDs or Blu-ray discs.
Note that you cannot connect your camera to a commercially available DVD/Blu-ray recorder with cables to import movies or still photos.
NOTE
Using ZoomBrowser EX, which comes with your camera, you can record still images on CD-R/RW discs. For further information, please refer to Saving images to CD-R/CD-RW discs (ZoomBrowser EX Ver6.7).
REFERENCE- To view movies on a DVD playback device (such as a DVD player), it is necessary to convert your movie files to a type that can be played back on a DVD playback device by using what is generally called "DVD authoring software." Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with your camera for information about file types for images.
- It may not be possible to play back the discs you have created on some playback devices. When you use commercially available software, please see the instruction manuals to check the specifications of the playback device in use.

General Note for Live View Shooting
Please be aware of the following notes for Live View shooting.
ATTENTION
Notes About the Live View Image- Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image.
- If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used.
- If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live View image's correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.
White [ ] and Red [ ] Internal Temperature Warning Icons- If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live View shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white [ ] icon will appear. If you continue shooting while this icon is displayed, the image quality of still photos may deteriorate. You should stop the Live View shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.
- If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white [ ] icon is displayed, a red [ ] icon will start blinking. This blinking icon is a warning that the Live View shooting will soon be terminated automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
- Shooting with the Live View function at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the [ ] and [ ] icons to appear earlier. When not shooting, turn off the camera.
Live Mode and (Face Detection) Live Mode Notes- Focusing will take slightly longer.
- Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again.
- The image brightness may change during and after the AF operation.
- If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed, the screen might flicker and focusing can be difficult. If this happens, stop the Live View shooting and autofocus under the actual light source first.
NOTE
When shooting with the camera connected to a TV
If you shoot in Live View with the camera connected to a TV, you can use the TV screen as the LCD monitor. This is convenient when you want to enlarge what you want to shoot to check the details. However, when connecting the camera to the TV with an HDMI cable, please be aware of the following points.- When the camera is connected to a TV set via HDMI cable, the camera will read the information on the TV set's compatible video input signals. The camera then selects the optimum video output signal (1080/60i, 1080/50i, 480/60p, or 576/50p) and the video is displayed.
- When you are not shooting, the camera outputs the video at the ratio displayed on the LCD monitor as is, so it is not possible to use the whole screen for a 16:9 display.
- When movie shooting starts, the video signal will automatically switch to 480/60p or 576/50p due to the imaging engine's compatible limits, resulting in a smaller image size (the size will vary according to the size of the TV screen). However, many HD TV sets will automatically try and fit the image to 16:9, so it will look unnatural with the image stretched horizontally.
- If you connect the camera to a TV set and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.
For more information on how to connect a camera to a TV, please refer to the instruction manuals that came with your camera.

Playback and TV connection- If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable and shoot a movie in [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the movie being shot will be displayed at a small size on the TV. However, the actual movie will be properly recorded at the movie recording size that was set.
- If you connect the camera to a TV set and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.
IMPORTANT
White [ ] and Red [ ] Internal Temperature Warning Icons- If the camera's internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white [ ] icon will appear. Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the movie's image quality will not be affected. However, if you shoot still photos, the image quality of the still photos may deteriorate.

How do I take video snapshots? (EOS REBEL T3i/EOS 600D)
-
This camera comes equipped with a function for creating short movie clips called "video snapshots."
A video snapshot is a short movie shot in one take that lasts for a few seconds. If you set the length of one scene (approximately 2, 4, or 8 seconds) and start shooting movies, the shooting will end after the set amount of time passes. If you shoot a number of video snapshots in this way, you can record them as a "video snapshot album," a single movie file recorded on the memory card.
A video snapshot album can also be played together with background music.In this section, the operations involved in shooting video snapshots are explained in the steps below.
(1) Setting the Video Snapshot Shooting Duration
(2) Creating a Video Snapshot Album

- 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.
- An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause movie shooting to stop before the maximum recording time shown in the table above.
- The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. Depending on the subject and the increase in the camera's internal temperature, the movie shooting might stop sooner than 29 min. 59 sec.
