[mstyana]

Thanks for your help....

[KrataKSpoJ]

[DaRkRoCk24]

very awesome tutorial I really don't know much about slr cameras but I'm thinking of buying this one and a 50mm f1.8 lens cuz I really like editing videos and shutting pics I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to choose settings depending the pic you would like to take

[MediaUnlocked]

@DaRkRoCk24 that hard to do because setting change so much depending on lighting

[colinleneghan5]

Hey I have a canon 550d and i dont have half the option you have when i click menu .. any tips

[MediaUnlocked]

@colinleneghan5 move your dial to the M mode and then hit menu

[designsbydevo]

very clear tutorial, 2 questions please:

1-if its in manual mode-how do i focus? in auto i can push the button down half way to focus, in manual it doesn't do it on it's own and it won't let me focus it manual, what am i missing?

2-would you know why when i played back a video i took i had lines going across it kinda like old tv sets? not that heavy and it came and went but it's never happened before.

thanks for any info!

[MediaUnlocked]

@designsbydevo You use you hand on the ring of the lens to focus. I dont know why you would be getting lines can you explain in more depth what is going or upload video so i may see it

[lordifrit1]

TY for sharing this

[HerraHQ]

Does this work with Canon 600D (Rebel T3i)?

[MediaUnlocked]

@HerraHQ t3i is pretty much the same way

[HerraHQ]

@MediaUnlocked Ok thanks :D

[rjfranklin19]

Uhhh, that was worded backwards.

[rjfranklin19]

Your regular video was being shown as 1080p, but when you go to 60fps that drops it down to 720p. Does the loss in quality make up for the smoothness of the slow motioned clip?

[liamlazerflip]

this video was verry helpfull , i plann on getting a t2i pretty soon thanks.

[dudeheight]

thank you for this! I have a question, sometimes my dslr stops shooting videos automatically (like after 5 seconds of video) how do i change that? because it's starting to piss me off :P Sometimes it doesn't automatically stop but most of the time it does.

[MediaUnlocked]

@dudeheight What kind of card do you have and what class is it. You need an sd card that is a class 8 or higher.

[Cascadesbmx]

@dudeheight I had the same problem even though mine was a class 10 card. Go to settings/ menu then find the format button and press it and then your problem should be solved it worked for me :)

[IAmMrVal]

[CadenBurleson]

So the shutter speed makes it lighter and darker, and the iso changes it. Wich is better to change if I'm shooting a dark scene. Also what's the f-stop doing?

[MediaUnlocked]

@CadenBurleson Look up this video of mine 'How To Use and Understand Iso,Apature, and Shutter Speed'

[DesignerLukeFX]

@CadenBurleson The f stop adjusts the depth of field

[tommakesvfx]

[ricardoucr]

Hello, i just want to know what shutter speed do you recommend to get a look like a movie. Thanks!

[MediaUnlocked]

@ricardoucr Look up this video of mine  'How To Use and Understand Iso,Apature, and Shutter Speed'

[TheMightyMagic]

@ricardoucr Use a shutter speed twice that of the frames per second (if you shoot at 24fps, use around 1/48 or 1/50 shutter speed. If you shoot at 60fps, use something close to 1/120 shutter speed.

[ricardoucr]

@TheMightyMagic Thanks, i just got the camera and im taking some shots to learn more about it, i just have another question. What happens if im on a sunny day, i want to leave the aperture high (f/1,8) but i cant go lower with the iso (100) and im having an overexposed? Is there another way? Thank you!

[TheMightyMagic]

@ricardoucr Yes. Turn your shutter speed way up, which will make things much darker. Hope that helps!

[Lazyt07]

why are only have in my canon eos 550 D in 720p only 50fps ?

[MediaUnlocked]

@Lazyt07 Look this title up it will help you out HOW TO CHANGE YOUR CANON T2I CAMERA SETTING FROM PAL TO NTCS SO YOU CAN SHOOT

[VertXGamingHD]

@Lazyt07 Press MENU, and click yourself all the way to the right, where you find LCD britness etc, and go down to Video System, press set and change it to NTCS ;)

[JBsGotThatEase]

Awesome Video! I just shot a snowboard/ski edit last night and wish I would have seen this prior to it!

Why would you want to shoot at 24fps rather than 50 or 60fps?

On my fisheye lens it only went to 50fps? Is it b/c its a fisheye lens?

Thanks!

- Jburg

[BnVFXProductionsHD]

@JBsGotThatEase 24p is the framerate for film. 50fps/60fps is usually for slowmotion shots. Can you usually go up to 60fps when you don't have a fisheye lens on? If you can't then you're camera is probably in the PAL video system. You can easily change this in your menu to NTSC which allows you to shoot in 60fps. Hope I helped! :)

[JBsGotThatEase]

@BnVFXProductionsHD Yes, I switched it NTSC, thank you!

Hey, do you know how to get 1920*1080 to record as long as the memory can hold? When i us 1920*1080, it only records for 3 seconds, no matter how much memory i have

[MediaUnlocked]

[NiallHornProductions]

Even though i'm in a well lit room and my shutter speed is at 50 its really dark unles my isos on 6400??

[MediaUnlocked]

@NiallHornProductions Drop your shutter to 30 and what is your apature and what lens are you using

[NiallHornProductions]

@MediaUnlocked how do i drop the ap? Using an 18-55mm but i wanna film some slow mo stufff and when i do it goes all dark when i turn the shutter to 1/400?

[MediaUnlocked]

@NiallHornProductions To drop the apature you will need to hold down the AV button located on the upper right of the lcd screen and then use your dial at the front right of the camera

[BnVFXProductionsHD]

@NiallHornProductions Check your aperture. It will also get darker the higher you set it.

[HSYNLI]

I have tiny red horizontal line when shoot a video. In room lightning... is it a problem of lens or body ? canon 550d. lens: EF 50mm f/1.8. I just got my camera. Tiny red horizontal lines when shooting in a little low lite...

[khu0084]

Real great video. Specially I was wondering, how to change aperture in manual settings. For a while I found that info nowhere, I was in doubt, if it is even possible :-p coz mine was set on 5.6 with my kit lens. 18-55. Anyways, its great, your video made it clear.

Thanks a bunch.

[MediaUnlocked]

@khu0084 Hold down the Av button on the upper right of the lcd screen and use your dial or wheel in the front at the same time

[khu0084]

@MediaUnlocked I meant to say that I have already learned this from your this video.

Thanks, Keep the stuff Up :-)

[MediaUnlocked]

@khu0084 oh sorry thanks

[dan1234mc]

Or is it because it's HDMI and I'm using 16GB that's why it can't record right

[MediaUnlocked]

@dan1234mc ?

[dan1234mc]

I have a 16gb memory card, and I'm so annoyed that my video only lasts like 16 seconds

[oyyosef]

@dan1234mc its because your memory card is below a class 6. To record video fluently it has to be class 6 or higher

[marcoboerner]

I think when you search for "180 degree shutter" you get a better result. ; )

[marcoboerner]

This tutorial is alright for someone really just starting out, but if you're really after a film-like movie look into other tutorials that cover the 180degree rule (FPS/shutter speed correlation), setting your cam to 25fps, install Technicolor CineStyle Profile, and if you wanna go even further run the MagicLantern Firmware.

Just google:

180 degree rule

Technicolor CineStyle

MagicLantern

[DesmosediciAlice]

@marcoboerner i have iMAC how do i install magiclantern?

K heres a question: Class 10 16G Wintec recording automatically stopped after approx 10 minutes (give or take), any idea why? Ijust switched to the class 10 from a class 6 thinking that would solve the problem. No such luck.

[MediaUnlocked]

@JewManFew The canon cameras can only shoot 12 minutes at a time due to the fact that they will over heat.

[JewManFew]

That was a big help, I had no idea the manual feature existed and I have had the camera for almost 8 months. I never had a reason to learn the movie mode side of it, I bought it for picture taking. I have recently gained interest in the movie making aspect of the camera and again, this was a big help. I may hit you up for more info in the near future. Thanx for the upload.

[RidiculousFX]

White Chapel is insane.

[weldx]

i have a problem with mw 600d slr i dont know why evrytime i take a video in outdoor it will stop automatically only when i take a video outside but if i take in a room or indoor the video takes more than 10 or maybe 20 minutes anybody knows what should i do with my cam??

[MediaUnlocked]

@chazbaetj happy I could help

[shaolonbros]

In closing. Depending on the situation you will move those around and make them even each other out. If you want to shoot something fast. You need a fast shutter speed..something dark...a higher ISO and a big opened eye (aperature)

[shaolonbros]

Lastly, ISO is film speed. Just remember when you bought film for your old cameras. 100 was for outdoor but to shoot indoor you needed 400 or 800 but the higher you got, the more pixelated it got. Since digital, no need for film. So imagine the cameras sensor is the film. 100 still for outdoors and sunny days, but if you are in the dark, you need to bump it up to 1600 or 3200.

[shaolonbros]

@themacbookone Imagine aperature is size of your eye. If you open your eye bigger you will see more light..open your eye smaller you'll see less light. Lower number more light (3.5) higher number (22) less light. Your shutter speed is how fast you blink your eye. The faster you blink, the less light you will let in. The slower you blink, the more light you let in. Stick a one on top of the number and that is how much of a second it takes to close your eye.

[shaolonbros]

Hey on the camera there is a flash button you showed before in a tutorial..then under it is a button to release the lens..but whats the little button under that for? In video mode can you move your ..hmm..what is that called you have the -2 to +2. I notice in movie mode this changes by itself. Is this normal? Can you make that manual too?

[martheesi]

When i film with my camera ( i got canon eos 550d ) it just stops. How do i make if film longer?

[MediaUnlocked]

@martheesi 12 minutes is the max u can film at one time on the canons just stop and start for another 12 minutes

[4givenz]

@MediaUnlocked.. it says movie recording has been stopped automatically..after shooting for less than a min. so what should i do to shoot the movie longer?

[MediaUnlocked]

@4givenz What kind of card are you using and what is the speed. The camera does that due to the fact that more information is being put on the card then it can handel.

[4givenz]

@MediaUnlocked its San Disk SDHC Card ..and it's 16 gb.

[HabboPhil]

@martheesi canon recommend a class 6 SD card or above. i had the same issue but not i have a new SD card from san disk and its really good and no issue what so ever. hope that helps.

[HabboPhil]

@martheesi you can get one from ebay brand new for around 14 pound probably be able find a class 10 for the same price is your lucky, i saw one while i was searching for my class 6

[Verdoux007]

@RyanFilmsBapf It's not about the brand, but about the speed of the card. You should buy a 6 or higher speed card.
