Hi All,
Just got a 6d1 - have only done random test-shots in-home, but so far I think I love it (previous body was a 30D). I tried taking a couple random video recordings just wandering in the house and WOW - I have no idea what I am doing. The AF stays locked at the distance it started on, unless I tap the AF-ON button on the back of the 6D (at which point it slowly, loudly refocuses). The only way I could refocus fast enough to even "maybe" record say, a moving person, was manual focus.
At this point I have only a 50mm 1.8 II after switching from crop body - planning to have a 24-105 F4L Mark I soon though. I realize the noise and some of the slowness in AF is likely due to the 50mm. Even still, do people just full-time MF on these, or am I missing some option or setting that cues the camera to auto-adjust focus during video?
I'm 100% new to video, so sorry for such ignorance! We have a baby on the way - I plan to use the camera primarily for photos, and I think it will do great with better glass, but it would be *nice* if I could use it for a little video occasionally, mostly just for capturing candid moments.
Thank you!
Drew
