2nd Solar attempt

[Ewan]

My 2nd outing on Solar & that day finally showed spring had turned up.

C8, 6.3FR, 600D 1920 x 1080 Movie Mode, digital zoom on close up, thanks for looking.

Thanks Mark, Alexandra.

I am quite happy how the 600D video mode does, when i am setting the shot up i find i end up umming & arring about the exposure level, is it best to go fairly bright or like planetary go dimmer & adjust in PS afterwards ?

I feel i get more detail pushing through if the pictures are a little darker but if you push the contrast up too much it 'smears' the sun spots into one big mess so you got to go easy.

Look forward to the next sunny day.

Very good second attempt Ewan.

What is this digital zoom. Obviously something I have yet to learn as in all the years of using Canons, I never shot any video.

Cheer's Roger, Allan.

The Canon 600D shoots video in 1920 x 1080 HD @30 fps, but you can enable the digital zoom from 3x - 10x magnificcation, if you leave it on 3x it will still be 1920 x 1080 HD quality, further up the scale to 10x the quality will reduce but it's marginal.

It's because of features like these on the Canon's that amature film makers like to use them, that & useing ML on them also.

I feel i have more control with detail / settings with the dslr than the DMK which is why i will probably stick with it.

Hi Ewan, how do you set the zoom on the 600D?

[allcart]

Its ok, I looked it up. A useful feature that seems to have been left out on later cameras.

That annoy's me as well when manafacturers do that just so you end up buying a few camera's i guess.
