[ALREADY DONE] Video Recording without lens
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:29:43 PM »



I'm often using my little 18-55mm as a reverse lens to freeze wonderful macro photos. I was taking a mite eating a spider and i was in live view; i swear i could see it breathing, because it's back was inflating and deflating. I turned the selector to Video Mode and the camera returned me an error "no lenses found" (or similar, i'm italian so the message was in my language).
I really desired to shoot some seconds of the scene, will be possible in future?  :) should be great!
