Hi! I was checking out some Canon EOS 500D because I have to do a little video project and I will probably shoot it with this camera. How did you get the trembling effect at 02:32 ? I assume it was done during the editing. Thanks for the useful material.

@marchez87 Hey, no this effect is from the footage. I shot the video with a 70-300 mm lens. and i tried filming in the marco range, so i hab to adjust the lens to 300 mm. And only because of starting recording the camera shaked a tiny little bit, but you can see this on the footage. No editing, just bad cut :-) but a got better :-)

@gunth23 Thank you for clearing that for me. I would never tell, you worked that out very well with the editing. I got old of the camera and shooting some tests using the standard 18-55mm lens. I noticed that bright colours, especially when out of focus, produce quite a strong chroma noise (i'm not sure what's it called actually) which is rather annoying. I didn't notice that in your video, do you think it might be due to the lens or just settings and light conditions?

@marchez87 Hmmm, thats a good question^^ I think it depense on the lens. Because if read different lens tests there different results on that. And the word for it is, i guess is chromatic abberation. The colours are seperating. a red or blue edge. I hope thats what you mean. If it is so, than the lens is the key to it.

@gunth23 Thanks, I believe it might depend both on the lens and the ISO setting, especially if shooting indoor or in low light. I noticed that the camera produes H264 video files, did you convert them to a better format (i.e. better quality) before the editing? Also, is it necessary to de-interlace the videos? I think I read somewhere that it shoots in progressive mode, but I might be completely wrong. Thanks again.

@marchez87 Hey, thats the only thing that borders me on the 500D. The Video mode is very automatic. You cant change the blend, iso or shutterspeed. At least you have an influence on blend if you use an old lens that has a blendring. But than you need a converter. I use a M42 converter. I never convert the videoformat before editing. After im done i convert the video in H264 (mp4). And every mode (720p, 1080p) is shot in progressive. As the name p tells you.

What focusing mode did you use when you took this video,was it AF MODE? does this camera can do AF MODE in taking videos?? NICE VIDEO!
