Filming with Canon EOS: Basics & first steps
Connections and shooting modes
With your EOS camera, it is easy to make high-quality and beautiful video recordings. In the first tip, we will introduce you to the connections and the recording software you need.
Switching to video mode
Depending on your camera model, there are two ways to switch to video mode: Either your camera already has a switch with the video symbol on the body that you can flip - or you can switch to video mode, as in our example for the Canon EOS-R, by pressing the mode button on the top of the camera body and then pressing the info button next to the display.
HDMI & more: connection options
Canon EOS cameras offer a wide range of connectivity options, as the EOS R demonstrates.
An HDMI interface allows you to use an external monitor or connect an external recorder. The camera also offers the option of connecting an external microphone or wireless link, in order to be flexible with the audio recording, depending on the situation - especially if the internal microphone is not sufficient.
You can also connect your headphones directly to the camera to monitor and control the audio signal. This allows you to make sure that your audio settings are exactly as you want them.
