[@muhammadbilalkhan7482]

Hey David, I’m very happy to see your video, can you please explain , can I use Rebel T1i for web cam if yes please explain how to do .Thanks

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you and I think it can be done with the right software, but I've never tried and don't know how.

hey david! congrats for the video, it helped me a lot :) i have a question, my main dial is not working (the one next to the click button), is there a way for me to change the settings for aperture and shutter speed in a another way? like without having to use the dial thank you!

[@DavidHancock]

Hmm. I don't recall there being another way to adjust the aperture and shutter speed, no.

[@Rakhali6767]

Why does my t1i not have the same setting in menu ? I don’t have as many as you…

[@DavidHancock]

@@Rakhali6767 check your camera settings that there's no simple or advanced mode option and also set your mode dial to M if it's not already. I recall there being a simple menu and a complex one but I can't recall exactly which of those options above will access the full menu.

@@DavidHancockit works ! I had to be on M SETTING . thanks so much :)

Good evening, is it possible to use an Android cell phone as an external monitor via cable? I use this canon for videos of wild animals and it would make it much easier to use it this way. If possible, could you help me carry out the procedure? Grateful

[@DavidHancock]

If there is a way, I don't know how to do it.

My live view button does nothing. I have always used the view finder, but I need to be able to switch to the LCD screen view. Can you advise? Also, my Rebel T1i menu only has 5 tabs (1 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow). Can you tell me why my menu is different from the one you're showing? Thanks in advance!

[@DavidHancock]

I believe that there's a section in this video that shows how to assign that (IIRC -- I'm in the process of releasing about 10 nearly-identical Canon camera video series and some of the fine details in them bleed together.) If setting the LV button to LV doesn't work, the button may have failed.

[@DavidHancock]

For the menu, verify that you have the final firmware. Firmware updates can expand the menu options.

I only have a few tabs, how to you get more such as the wifi tab

[@DavidHancock]

I forget for sure on this camera. There are two possibilities: 1- Check to see if there is an advanced mode option on your tabs 2- See if the tabs change when you change the mode dial Those are the two things that I recall adjusting how Canon DSLRs display menus.
