How to Take a Movie on a CANON 5D Mark II - Recording Is Easier Than It Seems

[@katlee92]

Short, sweet and very helpful. Will be shooting some corporate interviews today. Thanks for the help!

[@eaverbeeck8667]

Thanks for this video ! I was completely lost on how to film with this thing. Now I can make some great stuff for filmschool!

[@aussernllc]

I've owned this camera for over a year. Just found out now how to take video. It's not obvious, but now it's easy. Thank you.

[@TheActualPES]

I recently purchased the 5Dmkii as I love the film look, but I found your video first after hitting the non-intuitive issue. Many thanks. Greatly appreciated the concise presentation, too.

[@benjireid798]

[@nevermindthemagic]

[@alexpintado]

6 yrs later....... Thank you!!!

[@martinjohncameron]

Simple but VERY useful. As you say, it the menu is not intuitive or well designed or laid out! Many thanks.

[@marekward6202]

That was much easier to understand than the manual, and at least four other KZbinr's. Thanks :)

[@sudhanshu.13]

today my production agency gave me this Mk2 camera and switching from mirrorless to this was really very confusing, thanks for saving my day

[@boxheimerde]

First step in settings safed me from sending it back because i thought the actual videobutton isnt working, thanks man

[@thehumanityoflife6460]

I took a video of your video. You're right, it is easy! But I was using a manual focus Zeiss 50mm lens on my Canon 5DM2.

[@AwakenIndigos]

Excellent video!

[@greenharvestproductions6743]

Thank you for the Insight of this camera

[@darkskinchan8719]

Thanks very short and simple

[@MD-fq8xl]

Perfect!! thanks so much for the very concise and helpful video!!

[@mordavian]

How do you manage to use auto focus when shooting video?

[@Music01gh]

Your lense should be able to do that - if it can't you manually focus on the subject before you start recording

[@murielcruickshank8806]

Thank you so much for a quick and concise tutorial!!!

[@natestain7103]

Hi Terrance. Thx for this video. Curious what lense you have on that Mark II. I just got a used one and I love it. Bought the canon L 17-40. But wanting something a little more zoomable. Any suggestions help a lot!

[@kogoromori937]

Very useful!

[@josefinhammarstrom5786]

[@jessebillson]

Well done! Thanks!

[@urbanistwang]

I love it

[@ReZaBaik]

Thx. Very helpfull

[@justsomeguy934]

Can the 5D Mk II autofocus during video capture? Or do you have to set focus before capturing video?

[@thehumanityoflife6460]

I found when using a zoom lens, live view, the autofocus does not work beyond 80mm. In fact, the autofocus does not seem to work at all. Also my Canon 5D Mark2 does not have the Silent Shoot, U Metering timer on Live Function Settings. Also it does not have Stills only/Stills plus movie function. And my ON/OFF camera switch have two ON switches. And what is the difference on the Video System NTSC and PAL?

[@BrandiParkerlifesurf]

[@terryrl]

So simple!

[@paulzauner6896]

if you have you camera settings in another language then english there might be less functions! happens to me😅

[@choiceashrafi3436]

5d mark 2 50.mm se photo achchi kese soot kare

[@pahaahv]

Then a 'movie' becomes 'video' and video becomes a '12 minute clip'. Lucky we don't have such problems nowadays and I'm confused why there's no workaround on the model.

[@Christian-wr4ge]

Thanks mate. The controls are not intuitive.

[@dps6198]

I actually use a Canon Vixia HF G40 to record video in 1080p HD. Video cameras are designed from the ground up to record videos while a DSLR was designed from the ground up to capture still images. Use the proper equipment for your work and you'll be a better photographer. The Vixia HF G60 records video in 4K and has a 1 inch sensor...even better!
