Using a Canon Rebel T3 to record video

• Canon EOS Rebel DSLR t5 Record Time

  I found several sites Web says that the device must record up to 30 minutes of video footage before cutting. I also found that it depends on the memory card.

  In my camera, I have a 32 GB card, but my camera record of 11-12 minutes (time weird I know, but I have timed to make sure that... He usually cuts around 11.54 or 11.58). I was wondering if there was a way for me to get my camera to record the appropriate amount of time. The memory card is empty, no photos or videos.

  Any help is appritiated.

  Oh... is also questionable. Does anyone know if this particular model can autofocus WHILE shooting video (hold something up to the camera and the lens focuses on this point, then when you delete the item it focuses on you), and is there a way to make the background of blurry video, once more, during the filming?

  Thank you once again.  

  A single video clip would be limited by three things:

  (1) the card is formatted with FAT32 file system so that it can be widely read by any PC, Mac, Linux, computer etc.  But this file system has a size limit of 4 GB.  No single file cannot be larger than that.  You would stop and start a new recording so that it records to a second file.

  (2) if the card is 4 GB of free space on it... It stops as soon as possible (of course).

  (3) even if you set a very low video resolution so that she will not fill 4 GB in 30 minutes, it stops always at 30 minutes.  This is because in some countries, 'video' cameras are charged at a different rate from that of the photographic cameras.  By an international treaty, cameras are allowed to record video clips... and will not be tariffed as of the cameras 'video' as long as these clips may not exceed 30 minutes.  It is the purpose of the CAP of 30 minutes.

  Autofocus:

  Regarding the autofocus during video... the 70 D (and I think that now the 7 d II) have special technology on the sensor that allows the continuous autofocus while shooting video.  This feature is available in some Canon models that have "Dual Pixel CMOS AF".

  For other cameras, the sensor must use a different method of focus and it's some "guess".  It's "contrast AF detection.  Imagine taking a picture of a code bar... white background with strong black stripes.  In theory, so focused with precision, each pixel should be 'black' or 'white '.  And on the edge of a stripe, you should have a 'black' pixel adjacent to a 'white' pixel (this is a difference of extremely high contrast between adjacent pixels).  Now imagine you deliberately focus the camera.   You now have a pixel 'black', followed by several pixels that are progressively more light and lighter shades of gray... until you arrive finally at the pixel 'white '.  It's a "low contrast" difference between adjacent pixels, and it is low because the image is blurry.

  This means that if you can maximize the difference in contrast between adjacent pixels in some areas of the framework, you nailed focus.

  The "problem" with this system, it's that if it's blurred, he has no idea what to do to improve the development.  He can try mobile focus outward, re - sample the image and see if things improved.  Otherwise, it can run the focus inward and try again.  Once it is on the direction in which is better, it can start then refine the focus until he nails finally update the point.   But this system causes what is called "hunting at home" where you see visually the camera tries to focus while you record video - not good.

  Pro videographers determine before their major focus.  For example if they want to go to the theme 1 theme 2 in a scene, imagine putting a piece of tape around the ring with a felt market and development to mark the position of development for question 1 and another brand for about 2.  When THEY move the focus, they go directly between positions and no one watches the video sees everything "hunt."

  To avoid the 'hunting', the camera does not have auto-focus during video recording continuously.  You can press the button in focus on the back (it's usually the asterisk (*) key but I do not have a T5) and this will require the camera to auto-focus at this time (but you'll see this.)

  If you need real continuous AF during video then you would like to use a real camcorder OR you want a model that supports the feature as D 70.

  Do blurred backgrounds:

  This is determined by the "depth of field" which is derived from a combination of (1) the focal length of the lens, (2) the current aperture setting, (3) the distance between the subject and (4) the physical size of the sensor of the camera.

  (1) the longer focal length will reduce the total depth of the field.  For example, a 200mm lens will have a depth of field than a 20mm lens.  This means that longer lenses can generate a greater amount of background blur as wide lenses (and do not generate very large lenses almost no blur either.)

  (2) using the values low f-stop (the aperture value) creates a narrow depth of field.  f stops such as f/2.8, f/2, f/1.4 work well... high f-stops as f/11, f/16, f/22 generate very large depth of field, which means that they do not have much that would be blurry or off discussion.

  (3) the depth of field is naturally broader if the distance between the subject is far away.  Close subjects get very shallow depth of field.  In other words, if you focus on a subject that is actually very close... While the background is very far away, "narrow" depth of field on your narrow topic will mean that the background is well outside the update and will be very blurred.

  (4) finally (and this isn't anything you can change), the size of the sensor of the effects on the technical level also the depth of field.  Have your camera, a sensor of APS - C size, is big enough and will have no problem producing the blur you want... given the right report low-f / d and long focal length.  Only, I mention this because the smaller sensors (for example those on point & shoot cameras or camera-phones) must have their crop factor multiplied by the ratio f / d to determine a ratio f / d effective.  When she the crop factor is huge (very small sensors), this means that, even with a 'real' focal extremely low, the report f / d 'effective' is so high that the camera cannot generate the background blur.  Don't worry-I only speak because one of the reasons people like the look of DSLR images is due to this background blur this point & devices and phones cannot generate and that they are unable to generate the effect is because their sensors are too small.

  When you put all this together, you want to:

  (a) a long focal length (e.g. 85mm... ... of 100 mm or greater) with (b) a low f-ratio / d (for example f/2.8 or less... a telephoto lens like a 55-250 mm f/3.5-5.6 reached f/5.6 as this is the lowest possible report f / d when it is simply of to halfway across the range.)  f/5.6 is very low so you won't get a background blur hard.)  And (c) you'd want your subject to be located close to the camera and you would be wan further background.  You do not see what effect (or certainly not a lot of it) If you put your right subject against a background such as a brick wall... Pull the topics forward and in the background.

  The "quality" of the blur (not only the force) is described as its "bokeh".  Some lenses produce a quality much more beautiful than the others.  Multiple aperture blades is an important factor, as well as the way "rounded up" the aperture of the lens is due to the shape of the blades.  But the final appearance so influence other optical qualities.  Usually more expensive than glass... more look.

  There is no FCP X parameter to change the way THAT DV is imported.

  I used to hear the audio import with Sony cameras but Canon may be a different story.

• animation using the recorded video

  I want to build my animation film using recorded video. I exported the audio only from first and imported into CA following your instructions. Thank you. Then, using AE, I an analysis of the video face recognition, data which, I understand it, is copied to the Clipboard. When I go to paste the data in my puppet, however, I get a message "Assertion failed! Am I missing a step? What is the only way to import data of face recognition? Thanks for your help.

  I tried ManyCam and find that it works very well for video and audio and to make one.

  A nice feature of CH is that you can record the movements of the head without the audio, and then later add any audio for the mouth.

• How to play a recorded video locally for use on a site in offline mode?

  I use Adobe Muse to build a simple, somewhat interactive touch screen for a Museum display. I have built all the different pages at this point, but feel a terrible time to videos to work. This 'site' will not be online and is intended to be run entirely locally on the hard drive of the screen so I can't link to the video URL off-site. I use Muse because my coding knowledge is very, very basic. I inserted an HTML object and added a video code and tried to direct to my video file (using the full file address).

  < video width = "320" height = "240" controls >

  "< source src="file:///Users/Mason/Documents/Sandbox%20Muse%20Site/videos/V2FootageVideo.mp4 ' type = "video/mp4" > < / video >

  (as I'm focused on just getting these videos to work, I set up a 'Sandbox' site to tinker in).

  Otherwise, I tried a version with just the address shortened

  < video width = "320" height = "240" controls >

  < src = "videos/V2FootageVideo.mp4 source' type =" video/mp4"> < / video >"

  The drive is displayed in the preview, but when I click on 'Play', nothing happens. It's driving me crazy! Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? If I write the same html code to a text file and open the file in a browser, it works fine, but in Muse I can't make it work.

  If the code does not work, are there widgets Muse out there that can handle a local video?

  I guess my rescue would be to convert it to .swf, but that seems annoyingly useless.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  There are some great widgets out there that will help you integrate the video into page: buy Adobe Muse Widgets: 123Muse

• Satellite A660: how to record videos with USB webcam?

  I recently bought a Satellite A660, which has a built-in webcam. Using the Toshiba provided video application I can record videos, but I find the clarity and brightness of the rather poor image, even in good lighting.

  I have a USB webcam that I plugged in and tested for example in Skype, and he produces images much better under the same conditions. My question is: How can I know Toshiba video application to use instead of the built-in USB webcam? I can't find any settings where I can choose which camera to use.

  If this is not possible, do I need to install other video recording software? Windows 7 does not have all the applications where you can simply record a video from a webcam (I thought Windows Move Maker to do that, but apparently not).

  I just want to be able to record videos of my USB webcam - any suggestions on the best way to proceed would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Howard

  Put I don't think something like this is possible. Pre-installed Camera Assistant Software is obviously designed to work with the built in cam only.
  What you need is a third party software that you can use for this application.

  Google around a bit and visit a few video forums where you can pick up some info on it.

• How to record video in or of port S-video on Qosmio G40?

  Can someone tell me how to record video or S-video ports, because I tried the Ulead DVD factory program and only capture device, he could see was the webcam, and he did capture her

  After that, I downloaded the file to update provided by the support Web site
  That the program could see the devices are the TV tuner and the webcam (which he could not access more for some reason any)

  After that, I downloaded a more recent update simply is identical to the last updated and seems that someone in the support Web site made the link to the new update which they do not have to file the previous update that doesn't really matter.

  Hello

  There are 2 ports s-video; s-video output port is not designed to pick up signals from an external source. This port name says it all; It s an OUTPUT port!

  S-video-in port must be placed on the right side of the laptop. Don't mix the two ports. But note; This port receives only video signals. To hear the sounds, use a video cable to connect the audio terminals of the device and your computer.
  Red: audio right channel
  White: channel left sound
  The Ulead DVD Movie factory can be used to capture this signal.

• Microphone does not work well when recording video to work

  For the last few months, my phone has this kind of problem whenever I wanted to record a video. The audio in the recorded video may not be heard clearly, even with the highest volume. There sounds caring as wind noise even though I'm far from any source of wind such as fan, or when recording. At first I thought it was problems with the listener; probably I had disconnected the wrong way. But after trying a few times, the result is always the same. When I tried to record audio using voice memos, the audio is properly can be heard. This problem only occurs when you record a video. Please help me.

  Hi afiqahroshidi,

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  It seems that your iPhone does not record clear audio as well as your videos. It seems that you have identified that the background microphone (used to record voice memos) works, according to get help with microphones on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

  Then, try the following steps, coming from the link above.

  If audio video recordings of soft sounds, or Siri can't hear you, ensure that the microphone near the iSight camera - corner of your iPhone on top, bottom, the receiver is not blocked or covered.

  If the microphone and the receiver are not blocked:

  Get help

  If you still have questions after you test the microphone on your device, try the following steps:

  1. Unplug any accessory plugged into the headphone jack.
  2. Avoid blocking the mic microphone and iSight with your fingers while holding the device or video recording.
  3. Remove the protection of screen, movies or cases that cover the microphone, microphone iSight or iPhone receiver.
  4. Clear all debris from the microphones or receiver iPhone. Refer to the manual of your device on the locations of the microphone.
  5. Restart your device.
  6. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS.

  If you have tried these steps and people still can't hear you on the phone or FaceTime calls or Siri does not hear your requests, contact Apple technical support.

  Best regards.

• My NEX 5 will not record video

  Check whether the card inserted in the device has enough free space to record movies. If there is enough space, power switch by removing the battery for a minute. Reinsert the battery in the camera and then start recording. If the problem continues to occur, initialize the camera. Instructions are mentioned below:

  MENU > [Setup] > [initialize] > Factory Reset > OK

• What Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D?

  Hi, I'm new to the era of digital and older than 55 years.  My husband bought me a Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D in July.   (I fought the "technological" upgrade until my old film camera Canon quit on me).  I took pictures since 1966, so I'm not new to photograph, just for our technological advances.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help me with which Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel T3 D 1100 camera specific.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  I just got my 430EX II that I bought for use with my Rebel T2i. The main reason I bought the Canon product was... using Canon products, I have never had a failure or a bad experience of 60 years. I use the LL 430EX for a few days and I'm very happy with the results. Much, much better than the built-in flash. It is on sale now with free shipping of Fed X. It is hard to beat.

  Good luck with your new camera.
