Thanks for the tips. i'm just getting started with my 7D. I can't wait to try in out the setting
trying to follow this, stuck at the shutter speed. I cannot get 50 sec only 60? the camera still is already set up in custom mode , will this be lost in setting them for video?
Have more Questions ,
1 the custom setting for or in video mode . Over ride the setting saved for still. :-(
Why does the quick mode have to be selected? as all this does is make the mirror go p and down, . What is for i have no clue.
the settings 60th still cannot find 1/50th however at 2.8 and iso 160 is this a base setting, as most shoots will be under exposed.
