New movie features. The 7D's movie mode features full manual control over shutter speed and aperture. Images can be recorded in 1080p resolution at 30 (NTSC), 25 (PAL) or 24 frames per second and in 720p mode with 60 (NTSC) or 50 (PAL) fps. There is also an option to cut the beginning and end of a movie in one second increments in the camera.
For easier operation there is now a dedicated switch to change from other shooting modes to movie mode. Still images can be taken at any time by pressing the shutter button and stereo sound can be recorded if an external microphone is connected.
