New to Video

Just about to begin filming on a building project with my new 650D. What exposure settings should I be using for video for best results?
I have already determined that its best to switch off auto focus!

Set the shutter speed to twice the framerate ie 1/50 for 24fps or 1/125 for 60fps, adjust aperture for DOF required and then fix ISO to control exposure. If too bright use a Nuetral density filter.

Thank you for that. So should I set to Manual to achieve that?

Yes

We really do need a decent tutorial section for video as it's only going to get more popular on here. I find it so much more complicated than photography

Yep this sounds good to me. I guess that because its so complicated, it's a hard tutorial to write!
