canon freestylers

[biyan0]

ive been noticing that many many freestyler are using  canon cameras i personaly have the t3 and i will buy the t3i so i dicide to make this topic so that you guy´s tell what canon camera are you rocking and some tips and advice or things that you found owesome or bad about the camera.

i  personaly dont like that there is no autofocus in video mode you have to press the shutter botton or manualy adjust that is the only bad part for me.
and another thing is better to have sett up the camera with technicholor

I use the canon 60D with some different lenses.

Tips: make sure you set you movie recording to manual, and record in 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps for slowmotion.

The shutter speed should be set twice as fast as the framerate, so if you are recording at 30fps you shutterspeed should be 1/60th of a sec. That will give a smoother motion, with the right amount of motionblur.

You dont have to install technicolor cinestyle, you can just use canons neutral picture style, its almost the same.

If you want that shallow depth of field (background blur) you can get with a dslr, you must buy another lens such as the canon 50mm 1.8. That lens will allow you to blur the background if you record at 1.8 aperture.

No, im not in a photography class, but photography is one of my big hobbies, and I learn from a professional photographer in my city

I just bought the 600D (T3i), but as I'm just starting to use it, I don't really have any advice.

that is really grate men look tutorials in youtube and learn a bit of photography so that you can exquisse all the grateness of the camera

Oh yeah, forgot to add: any general/beginner tips are more than welcome.

Oh yeah, forgot to add: any general/beginner tips are more than welcome.

For photography:

Don't shoot in full automatic mode, you should shoot in either Av or M.

Av is aperture priority which means you can set the aperture manually, then the camera will set the shutter speed automaticly. That way you have have full control over you depth of field.

M is the full manual mode where you must set ISO, Shutter speed and aperture manually, that way is slighty more complicated, but you will have full control over your camera.

If you are shooting fast moving objects, such as freestyle its really important to set you shutter speed as high as possible, that will enable you to "freeze" you subject so there wont be any motion blur. For taking freestyle pictures you should set your shutter speed at 1/320th of a second or higher to freeze your fast moving subject. Just know that the higher you set you shutter speed, the less light you let in, therefore you should bump up your ISO (always try to keep you ISO as low as possible), or you could set the aperture as low as possible to let more light in to the sensor.

that was mostly about photography, but hey its a photo camera ;)

Hope that made sense

Any video related tips?

Of course, it made much sense and it was greatly appreciated. ;)
