Canon’s manuals often provide an overview how to shoot in various situations.īefore we end this section on leveling up, one more reminder to not ignore your audio. Many of the camera’s shooting settings affect one another. When the camera auto-focuses, it will often adjust the exposure settings at the same time, if those settings are not locked. If you have a good artificial light source that doesn’t fluctuate (natural light is great, but can vary with clouds), you can find a good exposure setting for your shoot, and use exposure lock to prevent it from changing. Exposure affects how bright or dark your video will be.
In some situations, auto focus will move frequently and this could cause distracting changes to your video’s appearance.Īlong with the auto-focus, exposure is another concern. If you do not have someone running the camera for you during your broadcast, pay special attention to the auto-focus options. It is quite possible these are not the best settings for your situation. Enable the Grid feature on your LCD to help compose your shot with the Rule of Thirds, and to make sure your shot is level. If your lens features an Automatic/Manual Focus switch, select Automatic (often labeled “AF”). Some Canons have a “Movie Servo AF” (auto focus) specific to video, check your manual to see if that is of use. If you’re not well versed in the dozens of options your camera features, and you’re running a basic one-person shoot, we suggest starting with the Mode dial on Automatic and, if your camera features face-detection auto-focus, to enable that. We cannot provide ideal settings in this manual because different cameras and situations call for different settings. Plan to experiment before you broadcast with the available settings on the camera to see what produces the best results for your needs. We have a few gear recommendations on our support site.
The adapters are inserted into the camera’s battery compartment, so it’s important that you obtain a power adapter specifically for your camera model.Ī Canon ACK-E18 AC Adapter kit for the Rebel T6i, courtesy of Canon. Canon sells a compatible adapter, and there are generic adapters also available.
