How does the video from the 7D look when projected on a big screen at 1080p?

@ashare06 Go watch Black Swan's Subway scenes.

Hey. First of all. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Now. I have just bought a t2i and love it. Have set it up as told in this tutorial. However. When i shoot video in daylight the footage is hopelessly bright. I know its a newbee question but maybe you will help. I use the kit lense so it has a largest F of 3.5. How do i keep a low F, etc.. What am i doing wrong. Regars from Denmark,

@gobbel600 thanks :) If you want to keep the F-stop wide open, you need to use ND filters to cut the light going to the sensor

@AchtungPakhtoon there's no doubt that that distance within what is semi expert and pro is little nowadays. d7000 is all many of us need. visit... freedslr . c0m change 0 with o and get a way to win a new Nikon D7000

Excellent videos dude. I have 7D, trying to learn how to use the bloody thing while looking after our baby. Getting some great shots now though. Kudos to you!

how to i get 60fps? i can only use 50fps?

[microaquarius]

I have a 5d Mark2. What I would like to know is why do you lower the contrast and sharpness in the picture style settings? All I end up with is blurry and pale-looking footage. Trying to grade this footage on a video editor only adds artifacts and more block-noise.

So what is wrong with setting it to high sharpness and contrast in the camera? Can someone help?

[ivanodarra]

Thanks for the tutorial! One thing is not clear to me though: you said to set the mode on 'manual' before going to the 'Picture Style Editor' and setting the picture style. I've done that but when I go to shoot video (ie in video mode) I noticed that the User Def.s in Picture Style are not the same as those in camera mode (they're as per original presets). Am I missing something? for­got to men­tion that I have a canon 60D though — don’t know if that makes a difference?

Thanks in advance
