How To Quickly Focus For Each Video on the T2i 550D

[owleater007]

how do u get all the squares off the image, my pictures wont save when i have the squares

[CrazySourcePlayer]

hey ive got the same lens and camera body but my quick mode focusing takes twice as long as yours. I took the time and yours takes 0.7seconds to focus while mine usualy takes 1.4seconds or more. Some adjustments i need to make to my camera?

[CadenBurleson]

What if I want to focus on everything when shooting video?

[humxa24]

@CadenBurleson set high aperture

[CadenBurleson]

@humxa24 Thanks! :D

Hi Dave a quick question with my Canon T2i camera, when I try to shoot in movie modeI after about a minute of shooting may camera stop and a message on the screen says "Movie recording has been stopped automatically". The memory card that I am using comes with the camera when I purchased it. It's a 8GB SanDisk SDHC Card Class 4 have you come across with this problem before? any tips/solution to this problem? thanks

[epecholdas]

@reggiecl you need a class 6 memory card sdhc, many people like to use sdhc transcend class 6. i personally use transcend 16gb class 10 memory card and i face no problems with video recording. cheers

[reggiecl]

@epecholdas thanks for your advice, it helps.

@reggiecl

You need a "faster" card. Try class 6 or above. I recommend that you get a class 10 card and you will have absolutely no problems. I had this same issue when I bought a class 4 card. Even the continuous shooting (pictures) feels a bit faster with the class 10 card.

[reggiecl]

@rokphoenix I have the class 6 card now thanks.

[reggiecl]

Thanks

@TheDailyBaker The Canon EOS 550D, announced by Canon on February 8, 2010. It was made available starting February 24, 2010 and to US dealers starting early March. It is known as the EOS Kiss X4 in Japan, and as the EOS Rebel T2i in North America. It continues the entry level digital SLR camera series (known as Rebel line in North America) of Canon, and is currently placed by Canon as the successor model to the EOS 500D, and has been superseded by the EOS 600D (T3i). —Wikipedia

Thanks Dave !!

[zoyakhan102]

Woah, this helped me a lot! Glad you shared :)

[consultjohan]

Dave, Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated! I love my 550D, and I'm sure you're in love as well :-)

[TheDailyBaker]

@consultjohan is the 550D a specific upgrade/model of the t2i? I'm not seeing 550d on the ones I'm looking to buy online.. anyone know the difference between the 550d and a t2i EF-S ? I don't want to make the wrong purchase, I tried using google to find the difference and I'm not finding much at all... Thanks in advance!

[DOONWAVE]

Thanks for the great videos Dave, Is it possible to disable photo taking during video focus??

[extremeclimax]

are u using magic lantern in this video? the interface kinda looks different from my 550d.

[drumat5280]

@extremeclimax no, this video was done a long time ago before ML

[SHOTBYKAY9FILMS]

Why whne im In video mode...I hold down the af button. half way to auto focus on a subject its does af, it automatically shoots the shot?

[waseemullahkhan]

That was cool - thanks for sharing...

[vrsrox]

is there a way to get that annoying white box in the middle to go away?!

[4flex4]

HOW DO I RECORD AT 60FPS? IT ONLY SAYS IT GOES UP TO 50!?

[dubaimoves]

@4flex4 It's 50fps on PAL and 60fps on NTSC. Check your color system and select the one best for your purposes. If youre going to be uploading to YouTube only, you might as well select NTSC, so you can shoot at 60fps for 720p

[kevinstcroix]

That was cool, would like to see more of these kinds of menu videos!

[FireForHighr]

Autofuckus hhaha :)

[sem2082]

Hey!!what lens did u used?...it seems that it doesnt work with the kit lens 18-55mm..and im really frustrated!..and the whole picture is really blurry.

[drumat5280]

@sem2082 50mm 1.8

[sem2082]

@drumat5280 tnx for the prompt response..another question if you dont mind...it seems that the hd video doesnt work with my Dual Core processor computer...it doesnt play and it only shows the picture and you can only hear just the audio...do you really need to get a CORE 2 DUO processor just to play the video?..tnx for ur time.

[drumat5280]

@sem2082 try a free trial of Premier Pro with a good graphics card, I bet it will work fine on your machine.

[sem2082]

@drumat5280 sounds perfect...will do sir...tnx!!!:-)

[SUNNNYTV]

@drumat5280 Im going to purchase an acer as5733 it has an intel i3 processor, will footage be lagging? it also has 6gb of ram

[BalloonRace]

@sem2082 I had the same problem. Shot some great videos with my 550D but when I came to edit them, my PC was having none of it. Just wasn't powerful enough. After spending £800 on a 6 core, 8gb RAM monster everything is great.

[kanank7]

dude... the title ays AF for videos... and then you show us pictures???

its confusing

[YoungB4o8]

how about shooting video ? how can u focus something in front then change to focus something behind in just one scene ?

[GustavsRe]

Mmmm eXelent (c) Charles Montgomery Burns

Thank you Dave :) I'll be waiting.

[drumat5280]

@GustavsRe it is up on my channel now.

[GustavsRe]

If you were refering to this video i dont rly see how it helps my problem. I still cant achieve the AF logs like you have in 00;07.

[drumat5280]

@GustavsRe Looks like I have missing video on this, I am uploading it now.

[objectiveguru]

What the heck! You said "For each video"! You're just simulating auto exposure and focus on single shots and not video.... I knew it wouldn't be possible for this camera to autofocus while on video... damn!

[psycold]

@objectiveguru Well it still auto focuses when it's recording if you push the shutter button halfway, you just can't use the red dot system to pin point the area that should be in focus, I prefer to do it all manually but it is really, really tough.

[0hmish]

Hey. Title says "For Each Video"
