A quick guide to filming with the EOS: Entering video mode

In this Canon Academy Quick Tip, Nicolai Deutsch, filmmaker, Canon Video Ambassador and Academy Trainer, shows you how to access video mode on various EOS cameras.

Pressing the red button starts video recording, and selecting the video icon on the mode dial gives access to the video settings in the camera menu. On the EOS R5 and EOS R3, you can alternatively press the mode button and select video mode using the info button on the back. The EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR cameras have a switch between photo and video modes.
