wow great quality,i guess im going with this camera. looks excellent in video quality,but its gona take me some time to get the hang of using the Manual Focus,cus everyone keeps saying the autofocus sucks, would the auto focus still be good if ur just shooting a person, like a Music Video or something?

Autofocus doesn’t work with a moving object. If you use autofocus while recording, the microphone picks up the noise.

I uplaoded a guitar video as an example where autofocus might be used (watch?v=R5MnygCjcBQ). I used autofocus before the recording.

But you see, autofocus only on fixed object is somewhat pointless. For this reason, I can’t call it a real autofocus for video shooting. It’s designed for live mode shooting of stills after all.

ah ok i seen how it looks now,not so good,my sony point and shoot camera records better than that lol,well the focus atleast.

how much did your lens cost you?
im just waiting to sell my piano then im getting this and ill have some sample pictures/videos up.

Yeah, this camera can’t replace the existing video cameras. Shallow depth of field requires accurate focusing. But this camera does very well in terms of image quality.

The lens was $400.

true,
yea my cousins getting it so he can take his photography class,and i just wanna take some pictures aswell,and post on devianart or sumtin like that.

i think ima tell him to get the package, it includes the camera,a bag,and i think this lens that you have.

The T1i DOES have manual exposure settings. There are multiple videos on how to change it.

No, that’s exposure compensation (shifting +/-2EV relative to the automatic value). We’re talking about the absolute exposure settings like 5D Mark II.

“Exposure settings” may be misleading term, it’s more like the manual mode with manual shutter speed, aperture, ISO settings.

See my other video (watch?v=SAnU6fhJjxo) for why exposure compensation is not enough for the video mode in some cases. Basically, if you have a moving bright object in dark background, you’ll get very unstable exposure.

whats the song name?

I need help fellow T1i owners are the videos this great camera forcefully have to be Quicktime format or is it just me HELP !!!!!!!!!!

ever watched toy story?
thats the only hint i’m gona give you.
