the crispy noise comes from image stabilizer, so it is always there - solution is external mic (never tried that).

There is no continuous focus on 550D during video, thus you can focus manually or by half pressing the shutter button.

if you choose large aperture there will be no problem to keep everything focused. however to achieve nice results, the best thing is to focus manually with some follow focus system that makes the focusing more comfortable and smooth

@photomend Instead of being grateful to Canon for producing such a phenomenal camera at such an astoundingly low price, all you can do is bitch !! The video quality is STILL considered to be the best among all the DSLRs available today. And you talk about manual focus not being effective, well that's just your incompetence.

Love my 550, The "autofocus" is just if  your going to take pictures during the recording.... doh manual focus is the only way of to focus during recording...

@magnusofspades There is no auto focus, SLR are not a filming camera you can auto focus with the shutter bottom, but if you really want to focus following you can't on any canon or any SLR Camera. But there are the best use manual setting and manual focus and you will be loving it. The manual setting are really good, check out my video I made it with 60D

ur not ment to use auto focus on a DSLR

[Sithkiss]

To auto-focus during filming: Go to menu, and enable "AF during *camera-icon*. Then it works just like normal auto-focus.

@MrSufiancool Well if you have the right Software it is very easy. You choose "Denoise" and select an silent area of your audio as "Noise Pattern". Silent means only the noise should be there, nobody is speaking or else. After that you just set how strong the denoising should be executed. If you make it to strong, it effects the good audio too much. Just try some different settings until you find a good one.

@kuleika01 how did u do that ???

@hollybee43 shooting like that ,i think , u don't need the sound , it can be muted with editing softwares..but yes it'll be a problem while shooting something like human interactions,interviews,concer­ts..etc !
