[12031300thst]

Now that I've watched this first video on the Canon XSi button info, how do I then find the next one in this series so that I can  them in the proper order - Thanks

[MichaelTheMentor]

@12031300thst Its part of a DVD I made called, "Canon Rebel XSi Crash Course" - you can find it by clicking on the link in the video description. Thanks!

[cynambo]

just got my Canon EOS Rebel XSi..not a professional photographer at all, currently viewing your videos to learn just how to use my camera..quick question, I see others are commenting that there is the live view feature?



[heavenwithin81]

Im learning alot thank you!

[Paulysue]

At the end of this video you call yourself "Michael the Maven" but above you call yourself "Michael the Mentor"... which is it?

[MrToadStomper]

does it take video?

[mudathir79]

really this is very helpful for good start

thank you

[drob97]

I am a beginner. I do not understand anything about this camera. Will your video help me with this?

tj

[thadeus1977]

@drob97 Yes! :)

[rinehartproductions]

Great video Michael. I recently purchased this camera and I love it. Your video was excellent in helping me learn more about this fantastic camera. All the best.

[hollynat]

THIS ROCKS

[RoboHamster26]

CAN YOU TAKE VIDEO with it because i have it

[Bajan2565]

Great video : ) keep it up.. was very helpful in getting to know my camera with this video.

[Bajan2565]

Great video : ) keep it up..

[Fancypoo4u]

Can you use the LCD screen to view what your taking pictures of, and not just the peep hole,

[footballlover1dl]

I just bought this camera, and it is my first DSLR so I still have alot to learn. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what the Main Dial/Primary Selector and the Exposure Compensation button do exaclty?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@footballlover1dl - It depends on what mode you are using, but they are used to change the Shutter Speed and Aperture (which is the opening of the lens). I would highly recommend my Crash Course DVD on the XSi, you have spent a lot of money on the camera, this course will get you up to speed in no time. Best wishes! M

[Vmbra01]

@MichaelTheMentor Hey.. how can i have your dvd.. i just bought this camera too.. but i live in mexico, price will not be a problem.. anyway thanks :D

[MichaelTheMentor]

@Vmbra01 Just order it from the site and we will ship it to you in Mexico! Best wishes!

[sid5jabi]

@footballlover1dl

I just bought this crash course for Canon rebel Xsi and its worth spending your bucks. Try it, it will give you complete guide for your camera and other basic photography tips ...

Thanks Michael for such a nice DVD!!!

[asilvermountzion1983]

@footballlover1dl Hey, I'm thinking of buying this camera. Are you able to zoom in with the lens that comes with the camera? If so, how much as in 10x, 12x zoom.

[footballlover1dl]

@asilvermountzion1983 The lens that came with it is a 18-55mm lens, and I belive it has about 3x optical zoom, if you really want a good zoom, you would have to upgrade to the 75-300mm lens which usually costs about 200$

[BeaCPS]

OMG Michael! You did such a fantastic job at explaining things. Thank you so much. Even though I have the "old" Canon Rebel XTi I found this tutorial very helpful.

[TieDyeBandit]

is there a black and white function ?

[TheMelanieBeck]

@TieDyeBandit look for the picture style in the menu. it is on the second camera in the menu.

[TheMelanieBeck]

@TieDyeBandit called monochrome lol

[sleepygirl928]

Thanks Michael, you've clarified a lot for me!

[mitsubishidiamante]

just brough my new canon rebel xsi

theres a lot of details on that cam

[imaxami]

Thanks Michael - I just bought my 1st DSLR and got immediate buyers remorse from the complexity of the Canon XS 10.1. After watching a couple of your videos, I really think I can get this down. Question: do you have a training vid for the XS?

[MichaelTheMentor]

Xsi DVD is the same for the XS DVD. Best wishes! M

[missterry2009]

@MichaelTheMentor i dont know why d500 video mode stops automatically,it only records in few seconds,it wasnt like that before.

When i use it on video before it stop it has this metering thing appears on the screen signalling that its going to stop,please i need help!

[jdcp76]

Your videos are such a helpfull tool for a beginner like me. Thanks you so much.

[fafaririzaza]

canon eos 450d can also records video using eos camera movie record software...u can download the software easily nowadays...but if u want to record a movie or something...u shud connect the usb cable to ur pc/notebook first...i've tried it b4 n it works well for me...

[antokerr1888]

this is a really good and easy to understand video

[magmatic123]

i think the print bridge is a great feature you may not have a computer in front of you and a printer that doesnt have a card reader slot and still be able to use your camera as a printer controller

[someahmazinggkidsx3]

Can you record videos on this?

[mamkskate]

no that on the canon d7 and t1i or d500 there the same camra but ya

[krazokevin]

Nikon D5000 aswell

[AbsolutCamilos]

Noooo you can't record videos in any camera!

[ivywen]

the t1i as that function and some other nikon one so yeah

[3312cdfp5674]

yea, should be able to

[obsidianskye22]

What's the scroll thing next to the view finder? (in its upper right corner)

[MichaelTheMentor]

Its the diopter adjustment- allows you to change the focus of the viewfinder if you were glasses

[obsidianskye22]

thank you very much :)!

[couponmary]

I am considering getting this dslr. I am so excited. I just need to find the best deal. This video was so helpful thanks.

[Aberdemon1988]

the rebel xsi is awesome, my family got it as my first dslr for my classes in photography, good starter and easy to use. ive got a 10-22mm, the standard 18-55mm and a 55-250mm zoom lense. im now looking to get a fish eye or 300/400 zoom for starting sports photography.

amazing camera!

[janrozi]

[040506keri]

For my first DSLR should i be going for the 450D?

[karl0115]

go for the xsi, i got it and it's amazing, and the controls are quite simple and it's my first dslr. i highly recommend it

[040506keri]

Cheers Karl, love your Rubik's cube video by the way.

[chadsexinton]

How Do i Force my built in flash to fire during daylight incase i need to use it?

[Eagle1337]

i believe all you have ot do is pop up the flash if not play with the settings.

[Zombiefruit]

.... the force flash button, shown in the video.

[reuben81343]

[DonnyDeluxe]

[Jachump]

Excellent voice and speed on the tutorial. I immediately ordered the XSI Crash Course from Michael's Web Site.

[jeanmmax]

Did you receive the DVD? Are you happy with your purchase? I'm considering purchasing it.

[Jachump]

You will like the DVD, it covers everything and is presented in understandable terms. Have fun. Jack

[htrfdes]

That was great!

Thank-you!

[srizki]

thank you Michael,

Thank you very much.

[smibbo]

Thank you SO much!

I know a lot about photography but when I got my new Canon XSi I was very annoyed that the manual did not have a layout diagram of the body! It only has step-by-step instructions on how to do every little thing; I don't need that! I just need to know what buttons do what functions!

THANK YOU!! NOw I can get the best out of my camera!

Once I have some more money (this camera wasn't cheap) I think I will order your DVD

[berkan999]

[Collin2377]

I would like to ask somebody's opinion about purchasing a SLR camera. Which is generally better , Canon Rebel SXi or Nikon D60 ? No offense for the question. I've been reading reviews for a month already and I cannot decie. This Canon Xsi looks great, a lot of features and that big screen...

[pinkshade]

[neunopi]

I just got my rebel xsi and i need some help. When I turn on my camera and take pictures, the pictures don't show up on the LCD monitor. When I press the play back button, nothing happens. I can't even press the menu button or any other button. If I press anything else, it says can't use this function in this mode or something similar to that. Some help please? Thanks in advance!!!

[MichaelTheMentor]

this would be a great question for my forum. Have you looked at my website? The forum is free and is exactly to help ppl like you when having problems.

[guyndc2002]

Michael that was a great intro. to my new camera. Just purchased it last night and I'm so excited to to get clicking. Quick question - Do you recommend purchasing a high speed SD memory card vs. a regular for this camera - will you see much of a difference? and what size? Thanks

[MichaelTheMentor]

yes, get an Extreme III Sandisk Card they write very fast- I like the 2GB or 4GB version.

[DiscGolfDiver]

This was quick and helpful. Thank you

[javagirl77]

Great video and very easy to understand!!!

[10chelly10]

[oisiaa]

Good video. I should be getting my XSi on Tuesday, I'll have to go check out you site and see about that video. Thanks!

[MichaelTheMentor]

Hey Oisiaa- You are welcome, I just wanted to get this up for anyone wondering what all these buttons were about because the Rebel is such a common camera. You are welcome to check out my other free videos here. More to come!
