Because video recording on DSLRs is the Next Big Thing , I think , some 5D Mk II - envy Russian folks have extended the capability to Canon ’s cheaper liveview - equipped DSLRs . But , unfortunately , there are lots of ‘ buts ’ .
This is as square as these kind of thing can get — just launch the app and start recording . How - eva : you call for to be connect to a electronic computer for this to work at all . This hack can only record video to your PC , so unless you have a particularly small laptop computer to flog your DSLR to , this could be unwieldy . There ’s no sound , and without built - in microphones none of these cameras will ever put up it . The resolution is good enough — but not HD — at 1023×680 and 25FPS . Automatic focal point is handicapped , but manual works finely .
The biggest problem is that the hack only supports recording for a few min , a limit that ca n’t be surmount on account of being because of an overheating detector . So , to recapitulation : if you do n’t listen record three minutes of manually - focused , not - quite - HD video recording without any sound while gestate a tethered laptop computer and brûléeing your precious CCD sensing element into meekness , this is your ward-heeler !
