T2i test footage with kit lens

[Azmyth]

random shots took yesterday to practice using the camera. Shot wide open with kit lens, at 100-200 ISO, 60 shutter speed, at 1280 x 720 60p and slowed down. Alot of blown out spots, that I didn't notice on the LCD.. grrr..

Haha, i like the little guy riding in his car in slo-mo.

A tip: when you take a photo (in video mode or normal) and then press the 'function' button or something (so that you can see tha graphs with data of the photo taken), the blown-out part of the photo will blink. So that way you can check wether your exposure is not blowing out parts. Is a little much work and it isn't needed anymore with Magic Lantern, but it was something i used a lot before ML.

The T2i meters a little hot, in my experience. Whatever the camera's meter says is dead-on, I usually knock back about a stop or so.

Agree with the first 2 comments- highly recommend Magic Lantern to see exposure zebras, etc... but what actually really impressed me was how smooth you managed to hold the camera when the kid is driving the toy car. Got some stabilization gear or somthing on there?
