Wow, just wow.
I got absolutely nothing from this video… Not in a bad way either. I watched too see the quality of the camera but the footage and music sort of put me into a trance.Very peaceful and calming video, I don’t know if that was your aim or not? You are a great outdoor videographer!
The 500D is pretty impressive!!
higher class card should sort the problem (eg class 10)
thanks
kit lens 18-55mm…
what lens? Kit lens?
manual aperture, iso and shutter speed is now possible… even frame rate can now be change in video mode.. 🙂
manual aperture ? possible ?
so do you mean basically you can control the compression rate with q scale?! That’s amazing! I’m yet to get Magic Lantern- but boy you just converted me I’ve just been putting it off for a while.
Edius 6. :)
in which NLE is?:)
Ive i do my qscale on -16 it stops after 3 seconds film? how to let it work?
Just curious, but why would you lower the frame rate? Is it for standard fps purposes?
You have really steady hands!
what does qscale do?
yes
you’ve got some nice shots in there! i’ve been working with magic lantern for a couple of months now and am very pleased. do you also work with the picture style called “cinestyle” ? if you look it up, you’ll read the advantages 🙂 by applying a LUT table ( colour table ) in post production you’ll have great colouring
magic lantern is firmware that you can download onto your camera’s sd card, 5D, 550D, 60D’s (i think) etc, you then using the memory card update the firmware.
Magic Lantern has the ability to control ACG (Automatic Gain Control) monitor audio levels amongst other things, but it’s main feature for video users is the q scale range.
Being able to change the q scale using magic lantern on your camera means that you can alter the mbps transfer of footage being recorded, q-16 is the best quality.
boooring…
If you are recording 720p video, the fps rate should be 30 by default, no need of any modification nor any magic lantern thing…
500D records 1080p@20fps & 720p@30 fps
Uhm… yes you can. At least nowadays. The original 550D firmware isn´t actually altered. So you can just choose 1080P 24p in camera.
What is Magic Lantern? I have 500D and same lens, but your video look like a MUCH better camera! Nice vid!
yup its manual focus… 🙂
