Again canon Australia showed how to do it. Canon Europe need to get there finger out. These canon Australia videos are brilliant

Guys this is really awesome. I am a teenage video-maker and amateur photographer from Poland. I am currently saving up money to buy an 800d for my video work and stills. That dual pixel AF and 45 cross type points will be great for my commercial work also your lines selection is amazing. Hope that this body paired with 50mm f 1,4 and 28mm f 2.8 will give me some stunning results. Take your time and develop a really good 4K codec for your budget dslrs and you will be second to none Canon! Greetings from Poland Szymon

Awesome information, thanks for that. As a beginner these types of videos I find very helpful. Just had a couple questions if you don’t mind. So you start in AV mode and lock you shutter high? Your ISO just adjusts itself? Thanks

This was a very helpful video thanks 😁👍

F2.8 iso 1250 at at 3200 shutter. Why not bump down the iso a scooch? In the rush or is this combo a sweet spot on that camera body?

Thank you for the video..the team I shoot here in Texas loves the ball flight photos between them. This year getting the 1Dx II and stepping up the game..my Nikon falls short of the measure

I think this shows why the Aussies beat us Brits so often as much as it shows us photography. Even at schoolboy level it means so much, how often do our schoolboys have a crowd?
