this video was a huge help for my girlfriend :) she was out doing a shoot when she needed help on how to get video to work on her camera so she called me and asked me to find something to help and this vid came up, so i held up the phone to the laptop speaker and she sussed it out listening to the vid.. so thank you :) well made and well spoken :)
I have both the 60d and T4i, and they're both solid choices. 60d having the benefits of being weather-resistant and smaller ISO increments, the T4i having the benefit of continual video autofocus, even if it's slow :)
1920x1080 (25) and 1920x1080 (24) Allowed you to shoot in fast movement it's depend to what you shooting but both are full HD But for 1920x1080 (50) use more when you doing slow motion.
I've own this camera for 7 years now. With shutter cycle 680. The problem with this camera are, the rubber cover for speaker very easy damage, and the lcd screen getting vignette over the time. But overall I'm happy.
I´ve bought this camera yesterday, and now I´m waiting for it to arrive at the shop, and I really CAN`T wait to get my hands on it, costs a fortune, but I already know that it will be worth every euro.
I am so grateful for this series of informative videos on the Canon 60D. However, and please don't take offence when I say, I just can't get Kermit the frog out of my head whilst listening to them.
i would like to know if you can assist me i have just bought the 60d and hve noted that whenever i play my videos back they have a bit of a delay they were recorded full hd and had the exact same settings you have in this video, when i playback the video's on my canon they do play smooth. i tried to play it back on my mac and pc but they have those slight delays. Can this be fixed if so pls advice
That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I watched so many videos that simply didn't explain this stuff. The comment below is amusing... !! Super helpful. Ta.
How do I know that the volume on the video is too loud for me to make the adjustment in the manual audio setting, is it possible for a headphone to be connected to the DSLR while shooting so that I can hear what audio is being recorded real time?. Thank you.
Its because the card is too slow you need a class 6 or above ans if your card is a class 6 or above then you will have to format the card within the camera. You see when you take a bunch of pictures or video and then delete them this causes blank spots on the card which will slow the card down. I always format before shooting any video my card is a class 10 and I have the shut off problem also until I format. Make sure to transfer anything you would like to keep to your computer before.
I have a problem with my Canon 60d. When I make vídeo in 1920x1080 (30fps) I have a video with dragging and the it still a bad image. But with a make in 1280x720 (60 Fps) I have a good video without dragging. I saw very videos in youtube made with 60d and they not have this problem. What can be this? I need help.
This is usually due to the quality of your SD card, a class 10 SD card usually works best but sometimes you need to film a small amount of video before you dont get the message.
What are the settings in video I can use so that everything is in focus? I don't like that as things move in the video....things go in and out of of focus
How do you get automatic exposure shooting? As when I tried using the quick control dial it just moved the focusing rectangle around and there wasn't a grid shown over the screen.
@rojaviva the only advice i know to give you is if you want a camera for primarily pictures, go with nikon, but for video, go with canon. Better yet the canon 60D
Need Help! Dear friends, I use Canon 60D and the memory card is Sandisk 32GB 48Mb/s SDHCI 10 after 12 Mints the recording automatically stops. Any Experience or idea please help me.
I currently have a rebel and would like to purchase 6d unfortunately if I do I wont have enough for other things like external flash, or mic receivers etc So if you had a choice what would you get between 60d and 70d?
Hey, sadly I haven't i have to go this week to a repair shop in the city but i haven't had much time to do so, so i should be able to go soon to get a quote done so i can get it fixed hoping it all goes well
@DanielJWeiner In Wrench2 of the menus change "Video System" from PAL (European standard) to NTSC (N.America standard). That will give you options for 30 and 60 fps modes.
Chris if I shoot on 640 x 480 movie mode, is that a good quality setting for you tube videos and watching my video on a computer? Also, will the 12 minute limit apply or can I get 30 minutes of shooting time in before the camera stops?
anyone know how i can shoot stills continuously in video mode? I use my 60d for concerts and such and would like to capture a lot of stills while filming. I used it before and seems like whenever i press the shutter button the aperture takes forever to open/focus and capture the still. Thanks
Hello Bye Just export the still screen shot out of premiere, Final Cut or whatever you're using. Not good to take pictures while recording. Much easier to just export that one frame from your video. It's in every video software.
@Jeaust8V I think you're confusing this with a different camera because it sure as hell does NOT "cost a fortune!" Great camera and a great price for the market!
Can Anybody tell me about this? I'm about buying this camera, or de nikon d7000. I read that the top clip time in movies is about 12 minutes or 4 Gb. my question is: When its needed to be longer than 12 minutes and, let's suppouse i'm recording myself and have no acces to the camera.. does it keep recording in another file automatically? or does it just stop and no more video is recorder unless someone hits the record button again? The nikon top time in movie mode is 20 minutes..Thank you!
I keep getting the message "Movie recording has been stopped automatically", and I have no idea why. It will only let me shoot in 640x480 for longer than 10 seconds, in all the other frames it stops after maximum 10 seconds. Have you had this problem?
Sounds like the memory card, some are flaky, I had this when using a card that was even supposed to be for filming. Swapped it with a Sandisk Extreme and it stopped the problem. I'm not sure what other cards/brands would be good I just know that it works fine now with the Extreme. Hope that helps...
Oda Østenstad Fjell hey man year late but hope this helps! this same exact thing kept happening to me, I noticed that it was for sound, I turned it down to pretty much the last bar and that seems to work a lot better and I could record longer videos! At first I thought I was my memory card because I did have only 8gb to work with -_- but I looked at my memory card and still had 6.5gb left so new that couldn't be the problem
when I push the button to video itll go for about 15 seconds and so "Movie recording has been stopped automatically" and I have it set for the 30 min. I don't know what im doing wrong?!
Could you or someone explain to me what the difference between 1920x1080 (25) and 1920x1080 (24) is? My Canon camera has the above two at the top and my bottom three are the same but for (50) not (60) as in your video. Cheers.
Remember you will only be allowed on the 60D to record 4GB or 12 minutes of video at one time. I would stay away from PNY SD Cards and use only Class 4 to 10 cards. If you want to get more out of the camera as far as video check into Magic Lantern a open source firmware that turns your Canon camera into a video camera. Please read all info on the site before updating your firmware. I have it and it is working fine.
only down side i find when using the movie mode when you AF you can hear the lens focusing in the film. But i assume this would be eliminated if you was using an external mic?
Very helpful! Quick question. When shooting video on "Face Detection Mode", will the camera refocus on the subject if they were to move while recording?
@TheMugfaker It's ok when I view the footage on the memory card on my MAC it's fine, when I import it into FCP the quality is really worse, and it stays that way once I export the finished video.... any idea? Thanx!
How to solve a problem during movie recording its stop automatically,it appears "Movie recording has stopped automatically"......is it becoz of the speed of te memory card........
My 60d doesn't work like that when it comes to shooting video, i have to hold the live button down rather then pressing it to record..... i have to hold it until i want it to stop ... does anyone know how to fix this ?? i have a 32gb class 10 soo could use help i got it last week but ye :)
@begaigai I've had the same issue with mine. First, make sure you have a memory card of at least Class 6 and verify it has a high read/write speed. I bought a Centon 32gb class 10 but it was very frustrating to use since I always got that error. I formatted the memory card after taking data off of it and results were better but I think if you go with a reputable brand with the above criteria you might do better. Let me know how it goes I'd be curious to see what works and change my memory card!
THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've wanted to learn about my camera since the day I bought it and haven't known how! My camera just doesn't like to show me the playback of what I've just recorded. Is there a way to fix that, like a setting? Or is the 60D just not capable of playing back?
HI! How do I transfer hd video to my MAC and into Final Cut Pro, without losing the HD quality? My videos always seem slightly blurry.. although I set the focus right. I transfer the content, inserting the memory card directly yo my MAC but, is a HDMI cable maybe better? Thank you!
I use Sandisk Ultra II class 4, it's fine.. I dont use it often but I made clip like 1-2 minutes, it's fine. I think the quality of the card matter (branded vs non branded card)? Or you got fake card
Excellent tutorial. The clearest, most comprehensive breakdown of this camera's features and settings I've seen.Well done and thanks.
this video was a huge help for my girlfriend :) she was out doing a shoot when she needed help on how to get video to work on her camera so she called me and asked me to find something to help and this vid came up, so i held up the phone to the laptop speaker and she sussed it out listening to the vid.. so thank you :) well made and well spoken :)
Thank you better than sitting reading a book for hours You make life so much more easier once again thank you
I've had this camera for a couple of years and I'm just now discovering this. I'm a little aggravated with myself, but glad to have found this video.
Thank you. This was very helpful and spoken so clearly that I as a German understood every single word. Great little overview.
I bought a canon 60D 2 days ago , I have had benefits from your video. thank you so much man.
I have both the 60d and T4i, and they're both solid choices. 60d having the benefits of being weather-resistant and smaller ISO increments, the T4i having the benefit of continual video autofocus, even if it's slow :)
1920x1080 (25) and 1920x1080 (24) Allowed you to shoot in fast movement it's depend to what you shooting but both are full HD
But for 1920x1080 (50) use more when you doing slow motion.
Thank you! Was at a complete loss as to why, I had it selected but wasn't recording when I clicked the exposure button. Thanks again!
I've own this camera for 7 years now. With shutter cycle 680. The problem with this camera are, the rubber cover for speaker very easy damage, and the lcd screen getting vignette over the time. But overall I'm happy.
Best tutorial ever
I´ve bought this camera yesterday, and now I´m waiting for it to arrive at the shop, and I really CAN`T wait to get my hands on it, costs a fortune, but I already know that it will be worth every euro.
Excelent explanation, excelent class! Nice pace, nice info, very detailed, just great! Thanks a lot for sharing with all of us.
I cant see anything on the screen in movie mode, can someone help?

I was first planing to buy a t3i, than a dealer persuaded me to buy this camera because it's better for the long term. :)
That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I watched so many videos that simply didn't explain this stuff. The comment below is amusing... !! Super helpful. Ta.
IamPrincess Asuncion - PAL settings are for the UK and some of Europe. NTSC is for the U.S.
Very well made video! Super informative and helpful. I really appreciate it. Thanks a billion!
I don't have those first 3 menu options on my movie settings and I can't get video to start. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong??
Clear and a mastery instruction given,appreciate and i value your time en effort by share this video.
Very educative video...thunbs up
How do I know that the volume on the video is too loud for me to make the adjustment in the manual audio setting, is it possible for a headphone to be connected to the DSLR while shooting so that I can hear what audio is being recorded real time?.
Thank you.

@begaigai Yes its because of the speed of the memory card. Try to use a SDHC card

Thank you very much.. great video.. easily explained 💜
I love this kind of video, so precise and informative.
Need to choose "Movie Exposure" to Manual first. Took me a while to figure it out myself. It's the first setting when in the Video mode.
@claybiter looks like you have PAL selected. 30fps is NTSC.
This really helped me. Thank you!
Because in certain countries normal frame rates are either at 24 or 30fps, so in his country it's 60fps and in other places it's 50fps
I currently have a rebel and would like to purchase 6d unfortunately if I do I wont have enough for other things like external flash, or mic receivers etc So if you had a choice what would you get between 60d and 70d?
When in Movie Mode go to the settings and change your "Video System" to NTSC and you should now have the option to choose 60fps in 720p
it’s all beautiful

@DanielJWeiner you have to change the settings NTSC to pal to view the 30fps i hope that helps
Chris if I shoot on 640 x 480 movie mode, is that a good quality setting for you tube videos and watching my video on a computer? Also, will the 12 minute limit apply or can I get 30 minutes of shooting time in before the camera stops?
At least Full HD. For the limit, take a look at your manual.
anyone know how i can shoot stills continuously in video mode? I use my 60d for concerts and such and would like to capture a lot of stills while filming. I used it before and seems like whenever i press the shutter button the aperture takes forever to open/focus and capture the still. Thanks

I believe I have the canon t5i rebel, is it possible to auto record? Like I can leave it on a tripod and record myself? Or no?
Wow amazing cameras and lens
Who else is watching this in 2020?
2022 :D

hi sir, my Canon 60D just record only for about 12 minutes do have any idea.
While changing focus during filming, the exposure changes abruptly and the focus struggles. How to keep moving objects in focus?
there is no way to autofocus while recording with 60D, the only solution is change your camera :(
I have a question why my video when I play it Sound la robotic and slow motion. Is the settin in my camera or what
Its because your lens focus motor its not too good. If you have lens with a better Focus motor that sound will not appear. (Sorry for my bad English)
Thanks for the wonderful presentation . Could you please let us know the general Lens should be used for movie shooting.
how about to reset the settings such a before or default? should i return the settings one by one again?
nice bro keep it up
hey haha
i cant switch to video mode ! the live view does not appear automatically and it takes a photo on video mode too !! help please
Thanks for resolving the issue.
only down side i find when using the movie mode when you AF you can hear the lens focusing in the film.
But i assume this would be eliminated if you was using an external mic?
Why is it neccessary to change the setting to PAL? I have always been taught to shoot in NTSC in USA?
@ArabGadgets It's your sd card, try low level format.
Great helpful video, many thanks.
Could I ask anyone why 1920x1080 24fps was skipped and not explained? Cheers.
Great demonstration
Holy crap I did not expect that my camera could take videos. For some reason I just assumed it could only take photos.
Very helpful! Quick question. When shooting video on "Face Detection Mode", will the camera refocus on the subject if they were to move while recording?
Thank you it really helped
@TheMugfaker It's ok when I view the footage on the memory card on my MAC it's fine, when I import it into FCP the quality is really worse, and it stays that way once I export the finished video.... any idea? Thanx!
you need to change your SD CARD to Class 10 HD professional from 16 to up gigs
Try this if it's not fix yet let me know.
1:50 Why for 25 or 50FPS you need set to PAL? I always use NTSC to this day O.O
how long is the record time in this camera sir?
Good and helpful information, but is it also possible to stay focused on an moving object with the Canon 60D?

Hey man, I just got my canon eos 60d! But i have a problem, i dont have all those options in the menu? Please anyone who knows why, help
Set your canon 60D to NTSC, not to PAL in the video menu, you will see that you can record now at 30fps/1080p !!!

@@ChristopherKblog he means he can’t preview what he recorded
@IzzylilStar check your import settings in FCP.
most likely you use slow card. I use sandisk Ultra II class 4, and it's fine.. but if you can get class 6 or class 10 is better.
@begaigai I had it once with a class 10 card, could be sensor temperature.
Verry use full ❤️
