Get better focus on Canon DSLR's I need some advises and opinions on how to get better manual focus while shooting video on Canon DSLR's ex. T2i, T3i, etc. Since these haven't got any focus indicators or anything like, like for example GH4 with focus peaking while shooting, although it is possible to get that with Magic lantern, I'm interested in native way. The problem is that you have to go from the eye and assume that focus is right, and I often find after importing videos on PC that focus is way off. How can I improve my workflow, and get better focus?
Probably the best thing you can do is get an external monitor. the electronic viewfinders on most DSLRs are too low resolution to be able to judge focus critically. Many of these monitors have built in edge peaking, or focus detection tools as well to make it even easier. Unfortunately to get a decent high resolution external monitor is going to cost the price of the camera again.
