- Set dial on top left of the 80D to
manual mode.
- Flip rear switch (with the start/stop label) to
video mode.
- Set
shutter speed with dial at top left to 1/100 for 50fps or 1/50 for 25fps
- Be sure
ISO is not on auto. You can use auto, but you’ll be better off selecting a specific value — like 500 — so that ISO doesn’t change and result in flickering while you’re recording.
- Set
aperture as desired (a lower aperture lets in more light and will give you more depth of field)
-
White balance: you can also leave this on auto. But again, for best results you’ll want to manually dial this in to match your environment. Recommended settings: indoors/tungsten lighting go with around 3,300K and for outdoors/natural lighting use about 5,500K.
- If you want a “filmic†look and not something that looks video-ish, set the frame rate to 23.98 fps. That’s the most common one used in Hollywood. So, there you go, make that birthday party look epic!
- Turn off the silly stuff (these are all off by default): Creative Filters OFF, Auto Light Optimizer OFF.
- If you’re shooting handheld, turn on Image Stabilization (IS) on the 18-135mm lens — this dramatically helps remove camera shake, and with it activated you can get some impressive results without need for a stabilization system. If you’re shooting on a tripod, consider turning IS off as you’ll gain back a small amount of image detail.
- Sound: if you’re capturing sound with a microphone, dig into the menu, and switch “Sound rec.†to Manual. Chose an appropriate level using the meters. Yes, you can use auto mode, but keep in mind you may get unwanted variations in volume. Ultimately, when shooting video, you want sound, and, like just about everything else listed above, set to manual.
