DISCOVER MOVIES
Use your EOS to capture all the action.
It’s easy to start using your camera for movies – all the lenses in the EF and EF-S range can be used for
shooting moving footage. If your EOS features Hybrid AF or Dual Pixel CMOS AF, look for lenses with
STM technology. They’ll autofocus smoothly and quietly, so they won’t distract attention from what
you are filming. You can also use your EOS’s Movie Servo AF feature to help keep your subject looking
sharp – it will refocus to track objects as they move around the frame.

The secret to good movies is not to film one scene for
too long. Watch any professionally shot footage and
you’ll notice that each clip is very short. If your EOS
has Video Snapshot mode, use it to limit the length
of the clips captured to two, four or eight seconds.
The camera will then join the clips together for you
and let you edit their order, creating your own mini
movie, without you having to do a thing. You can
then watch it back either on the camera straight
away or at home, on your computer or HDTV.
One thing to consider is camera shake – it can make
your videos look amateurish. Lenses with IS can
help keep things steady and some lenses in the
range include Dynamic IS for an even better result.
Another trick is to hold your camera close to your
body to steady it – if your EOS has a Vari-angle screen,
position it so you can compose your frame with the
camera held at chest or waist height. Experiment
and see what works best for you.
If you are choosing an EOS camera for the first
time, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens
is an affordable standard zoom lens suited to a
variety of subjects. You’ll get smooth, near silent
focusing when capturing video, plus swift and
accurate autofocus for stills. Or, if you’re looking
for something more flexible, the EF-S 18-135mm
f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a great all-purpose zoom for the
photographer who wants to shoot stills and movies
from wide-angle or telephoto viewpoints. It’s the
perfect travelling companion for APS-C sensor EOS
cameras. Another option is the EF-S 55-250mm
f/4-5.6 IS STM, a portable telephoto lens that’s
great for filming closer to the action. Built-in image
stabilization helps keep your footage steady.
