This is probably i stupid question with an easy answer but i can't seem to figure it out. So the thing is im pretty new to dslr an I'm getting into filming, an I don't know how to change the f stop( or aperture if that's the same thing) on the camera in movie mode. i thought it was locked or something but it doesn't say anything in the manual. Any help?

i dont have a 60d but try putting your camera in video mode, going to your menu, and flipping through the tabs with the video camera on them. look for "exposure" and switch to manual. at least thats how it is with t2i

Not trying to be a jackass here, but this is a pretty simple question and could've yielded a much quicker answer via Google. Just for future reference, unless it's a specific critique or especially distinct situation, please use Google first to avoid cluttering the forums.

Thanks!
