 With nearly a thousand videos or mostly lectures online One can say I've made a fair Number of recordings today. I want to show you though this new Canon EOS in well, it's not that new but New in my bag what I'm used to of course doing these lectures is a cumbersome Let's put that away cumbersome digital SLR 5T Mark II nice and full-frame In excellent video quality, but of course quite a piece of bulk to carry around and making these videos So I thought let's get Something smaller that I can take with me. You never know where the possibility strikes you of the opportunity to do some academic video recordings Now I specifically chose this piece of kit in as much as it came With this very nice adapter Because I have quite a few Canon lenses This little adapter here means I can fit any of my existing Canon lenses on this new mount You cannot fit normal Canon EF-S and EF lenses directly onto the schema, but with this adapter you can and It works quite well. It also has this little flash unit 90 EX For the odd photo if you really want to take some photos in the dark to be a nice little flash unit Let's have a look the camera itself then Here we go It's a as you can see detachable lens an APS-C sized sensor And that's fantastic not full-frame like the 5D Mark II there, but Much better than Summing of similar size with tiny little sensors. So that's the new mount Simply attaches like any SLR camera and then I can put all the other lenses on with the adapter Not another reason why I chose this little unit is because of the pancake lens very fast f2.0 So I can shoot in quite dark Circumstances number one number two 22 millimeters in other words even though the space might be small that I'm shooting a video in Now I can get quite a wide angle on this So very nice very neat very compact easy to carry around So what do you get on the top? Well normal hot shoe for Canon as for any Canon product You're on off button right there and a switch here by by the shutter release for fully automatic for More advanced photography where you can set any of the settings that you'd really do on a digital SLR And then right on the side the video setting so if it's on that you can record video There's a video button though If you push that even though if you I think if you're not on this little record the video record setting you can still record video Very nice and bright screen. Unfortunately not articulated, but that would be the same for the 5D Mark II I do have a 600D as well and that has the articulating screen which is very nice So this screen is fixed, but it's massive more than a thousand dots there and Three inches across so very very nice indeed your menu button your playback button Your info button and then this little scroll wheel here Which also clicks in four directions and the set button nothing on this side at the bottom for the battery New battery unfortunately quite small So you need to have more than one to make these video recordings and of course your SD card slot right there Fits on a normal tripod and then on this side. You've got your HDMI cable socket there to the guy directly to high definition TV your normal mini USB port there and then also for external voice now a microphone I never record voice on any of these but certainly if you want to touch a microphone there you can I'm not familiar with this unit As much what we have in the front is we've got it on the Camera setting which is this tiny little dial here as I said around the shutter release. So it says camera so we've got it there and This is a beautiful touch screen in other words as soon as we get going This I just press the shutter button there. We have a screen here now I'm just pointing it at the table here. She's not going to see anything But it's touch sensitive So right on the top of there if I touch that I have manual settings for the movie now Remember this is all about making academic lecture videos So automatic setting and manual setting I love to have it on the manual setting The problem with the automatic setting of course as the light gets brighter or darker It's going to change as exposure So you won't have even exposure as you move As light in the room changes you want that on manual really so just the back button there Told you we now on manual movie mode. So with the manual movie mode you get two things there. We have Shut the speed and there we have our aperture So I can set both it's manual the camera will not do it for you As I said, that's the type of control that I like so if you click on That that'll give you how many frames per second. You can just click on it Just drag it around 30 is the slowest it will go now because of some Settings that I'll show you later. So it just moves back 4.0. There's my aperture. That is how wide the little opening is in the lens The larger this number goes the smaller. Remember the aperture is the less light gets Through but also the wider the depth of field If you've got a very narrow depth of field some things in front or behind you might not be in focus if you find Front of the board you might be in focus on the board not all the other way around So ideally you want to go 5.6 as I said before I chose this package with the pancake lens That's if it can go all the way down to if 2.0, which is wide open Which means a lot of light can come in so if you're shooting a lecture in a hall That's not as brightly lit. You can certainly do that Yeah, we just have the ISO setting. That's the sensitivity as it was in all days of film So if it perhaps the room is too dark, you can bump up the ISO 200 400 of course you do pay the price of a bit of grain now on this camera It's an APS-C size sensor. So it's not a tiny little sensor that you find on tiny Point-and-shoot cameras. So certainly the sensor can really handle a very high ISO still shooting at ISO 1600, which is And quite a bit of darkness you won't see as much grain Okay, so we move back to ISO of 100 which is standard there and we can just go back So those would just be the the normal settings, of course you can Elect any way on the screen where you want the focus Where you want the focus to be now? Let's just pop into the main menu there Well, let me just go back and show you there's that quick access button That just gives you a list of the most common features that you want to do So you give the different types of autofocus mode This is autofocus lens and they're also just the autofocus looking for face and it will actually track the face Which is not really what you want if you want to set up for lecture and the camera static set your settings Have them all in manual. Don't let the camera try and track anything But that was for autofocus raw that really is this for still photos That's the one I'm interested in the movie recording modes I'm shooting in full high definition at 30 frames per second. I can also do a more cinematic 24 frames per second I can go up to 60 frames per second there But then I only shoot at HD ready quality one to 80 instead of the full 1920 by 1080 There's one to 80 by 720p It's progressive scan 60 frames per second there In other words, I can down convert to 30 or 24 frames per second actually get quite good quality slow motion there and then also for much smaller video there and The video that the sound effects they haven't played with your white balance sitting as I said set it for what it is in that room Incandescent light and all the all the different types of light or sun coming in through the side Whatever just set the white balance. Do not leave it on automatic Otherwise a cloud moves in the front of the Sun the white balance changes. Someone puts on a light in the light Color casts over your your screen. There's some picture styles if you want to to Play around with those but more for photography. Although some people really use it in video as well You can get some very nice effects there, but that's for a different time So this is our menu setting as as most can in can in digital SLR remember This is basically a 650d and a tiny little Range find the type style body very easy to carry around but full digital SLR capabilities really in this small package So again, I can just move around Scrolling the wheel tapping to the side all the same or I can just simply touch on the screen any of these settings So there The image quality that I want to shoot always shoot video of photos in the raw the histogram That I like his brightness the type of grid that I like and The autofocus mode you can set here as well autofocus mode plus manual focus and Which means you can let the camera focus and still turn the focus ring The lens aperture those we don't want to need or won't worry about these are for for photography really Picture style I always leave it at neutral and then there's your video settings as I said there we go I chose 1920 by 1080 30 frames a second. That's why the shutter speed only went down to 30 and some other settings there to play with and then Lastly the delete button again the set button If if you just shooting normally so instead of hitting Q there I can hit the Q on they get to the same settings Most of all remember put it in manual mode if once it's in manual movie mode set your ISO set your aperture There we go. Let's say for Ran about for the office that I shoot in and then a shutter speed slow as possible I'm shooting at 30 frames a second so I can certainly not get the shot to take less than 30 frames per second And there we go. Beautiful
