Video

[kev7d]

Having seen some really nice short video's of the NE coast posted by BP I decided to get Adobe Premiere Elements and take a dive into video. My plan came to a quick halt today when I found out I did not even know how to shoot a "movie" on either the X T2 or 7d. So its back to the instruction book.

Any tips?

I don't know either, I know both my 100d and 800d Canon's can shoot videos, but like you I have no idea how to do it... I know there's a button somewhere on each camera to do it.....

I am going to suss it out tomorrow.

On all of my recent cameras there has been, or is, a small red recessed button that switches the camera to instant video mode and shooting....

There is also a video-mode on the selection dial, on which you also choose A...P.....M......S....etc

This was shot with my old SONY ALPHA 77 ...simply by pressing that red button...

The Air Ambulance had been called to assist paramedics tending to an elderly neighbour who had fallen badly whilst gardening.....he was ok after a check-up in A&E.

I will give it another go today FUJI.   I guess I just want some preactise footage to get to know the new software.

Its on the drive selector (the one under the ISO dial) and looks like an old fashioned movie camera with film reels on the top.

I tried that Phil.  No success.  I suspect it may be the sd card as it’s only a slow one. Will look at the manual later.

Lol.  Sorted.  I just had to alter the aperture to get some light in there.  

Je suis un idiot.

I've been doing some video of late, too and it's quite gripped my interest.

The best tip I can come up with is to get (or, better still, make) a small bean bag to carry around instead of a tripod. It's amazing how it can turn a bench or a fence or a wall or a tree stump into a steady and safe place to shoot a ten or twelve second video clip.

Mine's been home made and is filled with rice - it does a superb job, too!

Thanks for the tip Korky.   

I just want to film myself dancing on the North Yorkshire Moors in my wellies.
