If I'm going to use Canon 600d is the controls the same? No one here on youtube does this kind of tutorial and you're the only one I can rely on.

@XxXEmirIXxX The concept is the same but the 600D is an SLR so you would do the manual focus through the lens rather than on the camera. The 600D is a good camera you are lucky :)

i was wondering, is there a way to manual focus WHILE in video mode? thanks!

[FatDragon100]

@soaringtheclouds For Manual focus? You can do either before or during, it's up to you :)

[XxXEmirIXxX]

@FatDragon100 Yay thank you! I shall rely on your videos and your future videos! :D

@humxa24 Sorry, I thought I had replied to this. You can do it before or during, whichever method you want to do :)

@humxa24 Same thing I was wondering. I would like to manually focus while shooting a video in 1080p/24fps.

[humxa24]

@FatDragon100 so do you have to focus before shooting the video or you can do it while the video is being shot?

[FatDragon100]

@soaringtheclouds Yup. Same method with which buttons to press, you just do it in video mode :)
