  • Using viewfinder in stead of LCD screen to shoot video

    Posted by Don Scioli on November 15, 2013 at 11:56 pm

    Does anyone know if it is possible to shoot through the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen when shooting movies on a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, I’m used to shooting from a Canon XF 300 camcorder and don’t like to frame using a LCD screen.

    Many thanks.

    The only way to make that possible is if you can find a replacement mirror that both reflects the image to the viewfinder and at the same time lets light pass through so it will hit the sensor. Other than that, I think there’s no way around it.
