			<description><![CDATA[Put it on a tripod, set it on manual and use EOS Utility. That's the cheapest method, though considering you've bought a DSLR I assume you're willing to go further.

Get yourself some compatible animation software. I use Dragonframe, though you probably don't need industry standard software. Google some stuff, you'll probably have to pay for a good one.

Buy a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 with a EF to Nikkor adaptor ring and macro filters. I know some people have had luck with the kit lens, but I was never a fan of it. Besides, the 50mm is inexpensive and does wonders. I've also got a 28-105mm Nikkor, which I've used extensively in 'Houdini'. Down the road you may want a zoom lens so that's what I'd recommend.

Get one of [url=http://www.amazon.com/HANKEN-ACK-E8-Adapter-Supply-Cameras/dp/B003UNRHF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342567196&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+power+t2i]these[/url]. Charging batteries sucks, and running out of juice halfway through a shot is even worse.

Also, learning to problem solve is a good skill. I don't mean that in a snarky tone, it's a genuine sentiment. Try new things in your animations, cinematography-wise. Your camera can't make shots look awesome on its own. Get creative with your lights.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, thank you Mr. Timothy. I am aware that the instructions will tell me how to use the manual setting. However, I was hoping someone could tell me how to set-up my camera for animation purposes. 

Also, I have read the manual.]]></description>

You don't have to spend $150 on lenses; I've purchased several good lenses well under $50 each.]]></description>

Your comment is rude and incorrect.

You can buy a brand new T3i for around $550.[/quote]

Like that changes anything. If you want your movie to look decent you'll have to spend more than that for the lenses anyway. 

There's a manual for a reason. Even still, there's a great new thing called Google.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[VanderFlame is correct I believe. Youll want to go in and change video mode settings to manual. For photo taking though you can also select Av or Tv mode. They are good modes to use to warm up and get used to using Manual because they allow you to have some things manual while others are automatic. Tv mode allows you to manually choose shutter speed while everything else is auto. Av mode makes all but Aperature automatic. For animating though you will want to go full manual.]]></description>

For shooting video, however, you'll need to scroll over to "Video" mode, which is denoted by a video camera icon.
In that mode, all setting are manual, but that can be configured in the settings.[/quote]
Actually not all the settings have to be manual. You can to select whether you want the camera to set automatic or manual settings. I think when the camera is in its factory default mode, it has the video mode set to automatic.]]></description>

I just bought a T3i for filming purposes and I was wondering how you can make the settings manual. I can't figure out how. Thanks.
