Video not working with Canon 550d?

Post by Brutha »

Hi All,

I'm finding a problem with video recording with Helicon Remote.

When I use it with a proper lens, all functions are working fine. However, I want to use it with my microscope, and in that case I am using an adapter to connect the camera. So, no aperture or focus control.Video recording works fine with EOS Utility.

It works fine in Helicon Remote for photos and live view, no problems at all. But when I try to record video I get the following message, although I am already in Av or M etc:
Set the camera to one of the manual exposure modes (Av, Tv, M or P) to record video.
Then, after a short pause, I get this message:
The program detected error while communicating with the camera. Report a bug if this error persists. The program may not function properly until you restart the camera.
And I have to switch the camera off and on again before it is recognised by Helicon Remote.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brutha

Have you tried turning the video recording mode OFF in the camera body? It should be in still photography mode. Then video recording should work in Helicon Remote.

Thanks Catherine - yes, indeed, I was using it with the dial set to Av or M, same issue in all cases as having it set to movie mode.

Hi Catherine,

Here's the log file from the point of choosing "Start recording video" if it helps - camera in Av mode.

Thanks!

It looks like video recording mode is still activated in the camera, have you tried turning it off?
