Shutter speeds in video mode

I just read the T3i cannot autofocus in video mode, true?
On T5i can the shutter speed be set when taking video? Sometimes I need fast shutter so fast moving objects are not blurred.

Hi erokc!
Thank you for posting.
The EOS Rebel T3i can autofocus, but it works the same as when you are shooting still images. You need to activate autofocus every time you want the camera to focus the lens and before you start recording. Continuous autofocus is not possible.
When shooting movies in manual on the EOS Rebel T5i, the shutter speed, aperture and ISO can be set manually.

How do I set the Shutter Speed in Manual Mode on my EOS 70D

I recently was forced to upgrade to a Canon 70D after my 50D died from a fall. I am not happy with the ease of setting the Shutter speed while in Manual mode. The only way I can currently set the shutter speed while in Manual mode, is to go to the info screen and set the shutter speed with the touch screen. The manual states that I should be able to set the Shutter speed with the Main Dial, behind the shutter release. ( which is how it was on the 50D). I can control the Aperture with the quick control dial. The Function Lock button is off.
I am sure this is do to some setting I have wrong, that is not allowing me to fix this issue, but I cant figure out what it could be after hours on the net and in the manual. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
Thanks
Gene

Another possible solution is to use a battery grip on your 70D and see if the dial on the grip will change the shutter speed.
There are some discussions about this problem on some earlier models Canon DSLR. Check it out.

Short shutter speed & progressive video in SD broadcast

I guess progressive video has to be converted to interlaced before use in standard definition broadcast in order to be compatible with old CRT TVs. Am I right?
Will video shot in progressive 25 frames/sec (PAL) appear stuttered after converting to interlaced 50 fields/sec (PAL)?
Or will the interlacing process smooth the difference between the frames, and the appearance will be as the footage was shot as normal interlaced video?
Does shorter shutter speed than 1/50 affect pictures I SD broadcast in negative ways?
In advance - thanks for your advice!

The picture in "old style" PAL video is updated every 1/50 second.
In 720p/1080p 25 frames/second it's updated every 1/25 second.
It surprises me that 25p won't appear more stuttered than 50i.
I thought that 50i would be smoother - even though it's just half the picture that's updated every 1/50s. But maybe you're right.

G Series Cameras -- Longest Shutter Speed in Av Mode

Is there any way to get a shutter speed longer than 1 second using a G camera (I use the G1X) ?
I have been using Av and Auto Exposure Bracketing to get some twilight shots that I would like to process using HDR. I would like all to be taken with the same f/stop (so I don’t want to use ‘Safety Shift’). The problem is that, using Av/AEB (normally the easiest way to bracket for HDR) I am bumping into the 1 second Av Shudder Speed Limit.
Is there any way, using a G1X, that I can get 3 shots, taken with one button press, and have all 3 exposure shot with the same f/stop and ISO, such that the longest shutter speeds can go beyond the 1 second limit?
Thanks,
Harry

That is what I was afraid of. That is not a good option for HDR because it is virtually imposible to adjust the settings and reactivate the shutter without moving the camera a little (at least with the small gorilla pod that I use with this camera that I bought because I wanted somethig excellent but very portable.)
I hope Canon removes the training wheels from the G1X II.
This would not have been an issue 10 years ago (i.e., G3) becuae HDR wasn't really popular back then; it is huge now.

5D3 min. shutter speed hidden feature / bug

The ISO speed settings - Min. Shutter speed setting allows setting the shutter speed automatically based on focal length of the lens or manually to a certain value.
The on screen help indicates this setting only affects photo mode.
But when shooting video the camera will still use this setting to determine shutter speed.
This feature can be used to slow down shutter speed when using a long lens (on a tripod)
The hidden feature thus is to go back to photo mode and modify the setting to either get a shutter speed in video mode that corresponds to the focal length or equal to e.g. 1/60, which allows for a lower iso value.
The issue being this feature is very usable in video mode, but the camera hides this setting when in video mode, as it assumes this shouldn't affect video.
It would be great if this menu item could be enabled in video mode too for a future firmware release.
From wishlist point of view I think it would be great if the minimum shutter speed could be set to automatically slow down shutter speed when a lens with Image Stabilization in mode on are being used. A setting that allows to drop shutter speed by 1/2 or 1/4 with IS activated can be handheld and nicely interact with Auto ISO.

Canon SX600 HS How do i change the shutter speed? Thanks

I need to change the shutter speed but manual is confusing
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you need to change the shutter speed for a long exposure shot, you will need to be in the specific scene mode of the camera and choose the Long shutter mode. Then you can select a shutter speed. You cannot choose a shutter speed in other modes with that camera.

Slow-motion (high shutter speed) camera to video my golf swing with 240fps

What is the best model to choose? Would also like a shutter speed of at least 1/2000. I had a Canon SD4000IS that did the trick but was lost (don't ask how!).

Wali,
Some of our current models have the Slow Motion Movie mode that allows a 320 x 240 resolution video to be shot in super slow motion at 240 fps. Based on this requirement and the shutter speed requirement, I have put together a list of models that will work for you.
PowerShot G15
PowerShot S110
PowerShot S100
PowerShot SX50 HS
PowerShot SX40 HS
PowerShot SX260 HS
PowerShot SX230 HS

Iso, Shutter Speed, Aperture, White balance for music videos or film?

Hello everyone. I just started making music videos. I just want some tips or can someone direct me to a good guide for music videos. I know the basics of iso, shutter speed, and aperture already. I read some guides and so far I know I gotta put my shutter at 1/50 or if i'm recording something at high speed, i increase it. is it so? Also, I always put my aperture at the lowest. I have a Canon T2i and Canon lenses 50 f/1.8 and kit lens. I always put my aperture at the lowest 3.5(kit lens) or 1.8. The tricky part is the ISO. I don't know where to put my ISO. I know the lowest ISO is good but sometimes the video looks dark. Do I fix this in video editing programs? Like should I always stay at ISO 100? What about white balance? I use Final Cut 7.
Also, what about during the day and night? Indoors? etc I also have a cheap LED lights.

your questions are about the very basics of photography.
I would consider to buy a book, which explains photography 'from the ground' ("... for dummies.." not meant as an offence!)
in short:
a scenery offers a defined amount of light.
Your cameras 'film' aka sensor, needs a defined amount of light to deliver a picture.
So, on recoprding, you have to control the amount of light, and the controls are:
aperture - opened or closed
shutter - shorter or longer
speed (ISO) - higher or lower.
Imagine the light as a stream of tiny balls, coming from your scenery: a bigger hole = aperture lets more balls into the cam. A shorter shutter speed reduces the amount of balls. And a higher ISO catches more balls than a lower. ..
Understanding that, you realize that those parameters are crosswise-related: an open aperture + a shorter shutter speed results in the same amount of light on the sensor as a closed aperture and a longer shutter speed.
If the amount of light is still too much, lower the sensitivity = ISO.
If the amount of light is too little, open the aperture, or use a longer shutter speed or raise the sensitivity.
When you set one or two parameters in this equation, you have to adjust the other ones: Video-makers start with the shutter speed, usually set to 1/2 of frame-rate = 1/50 - 1/60 - why? Because it allows a nice looking 'smear' aka motion-blur aka 'film look'.
Now, with a given speed, you can conrtol teh amount of light for the sensor only by aparture; and when you reach limits, by setting ISO.
When you understood this BY PRACTICING, you're next step is the concept of 'shallow focus'/depth of field. And when you understood this BY PRACTICING, you'll will understand the need of Neutral Densitity Filters for movie-makers...
But first things first: buy a book; read your cam's amnual; practice the settings and watch carefully the different results, diff. settings result.
... and it's really just about basics - independently of your device and/or your software.
None of the things mentioned above can be done or 'fixed' in post... (basically...)
happy movie making!

Camera issue - stretch marks - Z1 in M mode, 8MP, iso 800-3200, indoor, hi-shutter speed

I tried to read some pages of the forum, but cannot find the similar issues. I am quite surprised if this issue isn't discovered since 6 months. (or it is common not a problem? please correct me.)
As mentioned in captioned, when in high iso and high shutter speed, there are serious stretch marks. The higher the more visible. Please refer to the photos below:
Photo 1: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1600s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 2: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/500s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 3: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/125s, ISO-100, in my office at night
Photo 4: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1000s, ISO-800, in my office at night
Photo 5: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/2000s, ISO-1600, in my office at night
From the Photos above, it is shown that my Z1 cannot take any photo properly INDOOR. When the light is stronger enough (in office/ factory/ laboratory), there are stretch marks even in ISO-100!
I had tried several Z1(s), from my collegues, friend, retail shop and even the display model in Sony's Customer Service Centre (Hong Kong), they all have this problem. The staff of Sony's Centre told me that all the Z1 have this problem and therefore they cannot replace / help.
I had tried with other cell phone / digital camera / DSLR, they do not have this problem. This is not common.
It is believed that Sony is professional in digital camera technology (refer to A7, A7R), and the 20M pixel DC quality camera is the selling point of Z1 and may be Z2. There should be an solution for this issue.

Hi, I had took some photos from my 7-year-old Fuji F100fd and 4-year-old Google Nexus One under same light source for comparison:
Photo Z1-1: Xperia Z1, ISO-400 , f/2, 1/160s, 8MP
Photo Z1-2: Xperia Z1, ISO-1600 , f/2, 1/640s, 8MP
Photo FJ-1: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-400, f/3.3, 1/52s, 12MP
Photo FJ-2: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-3200, f/3.3, 1/400s, 12MP
Photo FJ-3: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-6400, f/3.3, 1/850s, 3MP
Photo N1-1: Google Nexus One, ISO-100, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
Photo N1-2: Google Nexus One, ISO-1250, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
From photos FJ-1 to FJ-3 by Fuji DC, no matter how high ISO and fast shutter speed, there is no stretch line in photo by Fuji DC. There means it is technically feasible to fix the stretch line problem.
From photos N1-1 to N1-2 by Google Nexus One, there are stretch lines only when ISO-1250 but very light and colourless. It seems more acceptable.
From photos Z1-1 to Z1-2 by Xperia Z1, stretch lines appear from ISO-200 to ISO-3200 and they are bold, dark and colour like stain. It is certainly unacceptable...
I hope I can get a solution on this issue. I wonder if other Z1 owners got the same problem?

Add shutter speed settings and manual focus in the manual mode, please sony :'(

I am so deeply craving for shutter speed settings in the manual mode so I can take very great night shots.
Manual and infinity focus would be nice as well

First of all: I competely agree. Low light shots where anything you are photographing is moving = very bad blur.
Second of all: whilst I don't think it's right that you should have to pay money on top of a flagship device to get the camera working as you expect, there are a couple of this party apps will help until Sony fix this. Camera FV5 has a lot more settings including AE-L (in focus modes) which stops some of the post processing that can mess up low light shots. But be prepared the high volume of settings to play with also makes it less accessible as an all purpose point and shoot app. Camera Zoom FX is somewhere between this app and the stock appin terms of usability and functionality if you want to try that too.

How do I adjust my ISO on my T5 while in video mode??

Just got my T5 (NOT T5I) in the mail. I am trying to figure out how to adjust my ISO while in live video mode..I know the T5I has a button on the front but the T5 has no such feature....

Hi tmk1335!
Welcome to the Canon Forum.
ISO, shutter speed and aperture are all set automatically by the camera while shooting video. You can switch to manual exposure, allowing you to manually set these. To do this:
Press MENU.
Select [Movie Exposure] under the first menu tab.
Select [Manual].
To set the ISO speed, press the FLASH button, then turn the MAIN DIAL.

What shutter speed to use for 1080i60 HDV?

I shoot with an HDR-FX1. The default setting is 1/60s. I could really use the extra light provided by 1/30, given how much the 35mm lens adapter eats up.
The HDV is 29.97fps, so 1/30 would seem the best choice anyway, but being interlaced, it’s really 60 half-frames...
Will using the 1/30 affect the image quality, the way undercranking or overcranking shutter on purpose would?
Thank you,
MaW

You get more blur, but the only way to really find out is to shoot some test video to how YOU perceive the differences.
Go to a darker setting about which you are concerned, shoot some in automatic shutter (it will go no lower than 1/60th in 1080i60 (progressive scan OFF)). Either have moving objects or move the camera around. Then switch to not-auto (probably need the IRIS set to IRIS mode so you can manually set iris, gain, and shutter speed). Let the iris and gain set automatically, and just set the shutter to 1/30th (whatever) and shoot the same scenes in the same lighting conditions.
Drag 'em both into FCP and see what you like. Too much blur? No effect?
Note that if you shoot in Progressive Scan 30 (that's 30p), the shutter will automatically go to as low as 1/30th.

Video exposure not working in all 3 video modes new iphone 6 Plus ios 8.1

Bug 1. In video mode, exposure does not automatically brighten in darkly lit areas - then when you touch the screen to focus and try and use the sun slider for upping or lowering the exposure, you have to swipe it many, many times to go a short distance, then IT ONLY WORKS TO DARKEN THE EXPOSURE, IT DOES NOT LIGHTEN IT IN ALL 3 VIDEO MODES. It works fine in Photo mode. Go to this video at :54 to see it working properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tehcNa3ecs4#t=75
Bug 2: Slo-Motion videos will play back on computers in slow motion ONLY if the base frame rate is set to 60 fps and the Slo-mo speed is set to 240fps. With any other settings the computer (both win and mac) play the video back at full speed.
Especially with bug 1, can any of you check your phone to see if sliding your finger up will brighten the image while in any of the 3 video modes?

Hi,
I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

I have a 6D. When I turn on my camera, the shutter speed display reads 00.

My shutter speed display on my EOS 6D reads "00". I have tried turning the camera on and off, charging the batteries and removing and replacing the memory card. Any suggestions for what might be the problem?

That sounds bad.  It could still just be some weird setting.  I have had odd things happen on a camera due to an accidental setting, and so I always try "Clear All Camera Settings" first.  In MENU, tab over to the 4th (the last) yellow wrench tabs, and it is about 2/3 of the way down the list.
 
Perhaps one of the moderators will chime in at some point with something that can help.
 
Failing that, at some point you might need to send the camera in to Canon for repair.  The mods always post the following link when something seems to be actually broken:
 
 
******* To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website. *******
 
Good luck.
