Canon EOS 500D Aperture/Manual Focus in Video Mode?

I was just wondering, whilst in video mode on the Canon 500D if you can alter the aperture to let more/less light in? also, can you use manual focus in video mode?

rob answers:

Knowing what little I do about non video cameras I’d say no. I have a Fuji 9000. It records pretty nice video. But in video mode everything goes to auto, focus included. Nothing can be changed manually – the camera controls everything.

How do I release “BULB” under manual mode for CANON 500D where the shutter speed is.?

I am experimenting my new 500D . I do not know what button I pressed but what do I do to get back to the normal mode, ie, :”bulb” is not reflected under shutter speed, instead I could adjust the shutter speed manually.

rob answers:

Turn the command dial the other way.

John asks…

What is auto focus and manual focus (Canon eos 500d)?

1) I was reading and it says that this person has a problem with auto focus and I was confused so what is it exactly?

2) In street/road photography pictures how do people get the lines of the light? It’s very amazing and wonderful.

3) What does shutter speed mean?

4) good blogs teaching about photography cameras and the use…etc

rob answers:

If you don’t know the basics of photography, I really don’t think you should have a camera as advanced as the 500D

Donna asks…

How do you focus the video recorder on a Canon 500D?

Think of me as being a simpleton, when it comes to video recording..
What can i press to make it focus? or how can i do it?
I don’t know anything about what ISO or Aperture is etc, so really need simple language haha
Looked in the Users manual but couldn’t really find anything..
If anyone can help! PLEASEE!?

rob answers:

Assuming you are using the Canon standard kit lens, the focus is automatic in the video mode. The only adjustment is locating the focus point if you chose.
