I know the live view can't always be trusted 100%, but this is such a dramatic difference that you would think it is not capturing the same settings that the live view is displaying (even though the log says everything is correct). It has happened quite a few times for me where my live view does not change when I change my settings (for example, I can go to f-22 in slightly dim indoor lighting and it looks the same in live view as f-2.8 because my live view doesn't change to reflect my settings for some reason), and I'm wondering if something's just really off. I will try using the same settings but with my T3i instead of my T2i the next time I shoot (Monday) and see if there is a difference. Thanks for the advice.

I'm using magic lantern with my Canon T2i and filming an interview. For this interview I have a three point lighting setup with an additional light with a green gel adding a pleasant splash of color to a black felt backdrop. My settings are as follows: 85mm prime lens at f-2.8, 60 shutter speed, 1250 iso, 3700K white balance. Looking at my camera, the picture looks beautiful. Perfect brightness and the green splash of light in the background is subtle but very effective. Then when I import the footage to my computer, everything looks dark and the green in the background goes from subtle to barely noticeable at all. I have to brighten the video in post which causes it to take longer to export. Also, on a possibly related note, I've noticed sometimes that when I change my iso/f-stop settings, the image on my LCD remains the same no matter how extremely I change my settings (iso settings that should be way overexposed look no different on the LCD screen) and I will sometimes have to turn the camera on and off again once or twice in order to get an accurate reading. Does anyone else have this issue? Why is this happening?

General Help Q&A / Need help quick! T3i Audio.

Hello,

I have a problem and google searches for a solution have yielded nothing useful whatsoever.

So, I have a t2i and a t3i. With my t2i, I access controls for audio and white balance/ISO using the button that in manual mode would activate the flash. On the t3i, it used to be that I could access white balance/ISO controls with the DISP button and the flash button would access volume control, but now the flash button does nothing except quickly flash a message reading something along the lines of "this function is not available in video mode" (referring to flash). Somehow my volume is turned WAY down on my t3i so that no audio is recorded at all, and I cannot figure out how to turn up the volume. How come I can no longer access audio control using that button, and how did I even set it that way in the first place? Please advise.
