Canon 50D Top Controls

[@marci.abraham]

Thanks so much! Just received this camera from my dad and I am so grateful for your demos!

This is exactly what I needed. Been shooting with the canon t3 rebel... I love this new 50D! And this vid is PERFECT for the basics. Thanks again.

I would get the T2i , if you want the movie mode, They are both good cameras though.

you said it averages 6.8 fames per second. I'm sure that you were just mistaken, because it is 6.3 frames per second consistently for a given number of pictures. This given number of pictures varies from the variety of compact flash card. A UDMA card will give you up to 90 large/fine JPEGs, and a normal compact flash card will give you up to 60 large/fine JPEGs. This number obviously drastically decreases when shooting in RAW, as the file size is much larger, but still 6.3 frames per second.

Thank you. I needed a refresher!

Is there a way to adjust the time the display appears? I don't know about others but I find this defafault setting annoying. Already got your CD but did not see it mentioned. Thanks, The Meltdownman

AI Focus is the 'hybrid of the two' and AI Servo is full-time tracking... You seem to know the camera pretty well but just a few of the nitpicky things are wrong.

How to change the aperture? I can't find a button that directly helps to change that, unlike on the 250D

[@MrT-ig6tx]

You have to be in aperture priority mode (Av) then the front wheel will control the aperture
