Video Recording - Newbie with a Canon EOS DSLR

[Charles Meyer]

Hi my esteemed mates,

Hope you're all well.

I'm now having to shoulder the responsibility to video record 15 -30 minute videos with a Canon DSLR.

I have excellent lights to set up which I've done but I'm not sure re: camera settings.

I'd so appreciate your thoughts/suggestions for the camera settings.

1. Make sure battery (fully-powered) and SD card are inserted
2. Turn Dial to Film Camera icon
3. Power Camera on
4. Press Menu button – Movie Exposure – Set it ti Automatically
5. Press AF button (to proceed through all Menu options) now choose Movie Rec. Size 1920 x 1080
6. Press AF button - Exposure Comp -12 ...1..0 (1st choice)
7. Press AF button - Image Quality weird symbol next to the letter “L:”(1st choice) Image Review - 2 seconds
8. Press AF button Protect Images 1st choice)
9. Press AF button Histogram disp - Brightness - Ctrl over HDMI – Disable – other adjustments I should make?
10. Press AF button Auto Power Odd – 30 seconds File Numbering – continuous- other adjustments I should make?
11. Press AF button - LCD Brightness – set at middle setting - Guide - Enable - other adjustments I should make?

Thank you so kindly!
