My Canon 7D hasn't been shooting video.

[HeavyHeriot]

I've had this problem for about 4 months now. I'll click the start/stop button, then it'll change from view through the lens to the video screen. It looks fine until I press the star/stop button once again, and then the screen goes black, it makes a clicking nose along with this. Has anyone experienced this issue? Does anyone have a fix? Thanks.

That's normal LiveView operations. For video you must move the small lever around the start/stop button to the video position...

Huh? Pressing that button moves you into Live View mode. Pressing it again takes you back to regular (optical viewfinder) mode.

In order to switch to video mode, you need to move the ring switch around the start/stop button to the red 'videocamera' icon. Then, use start/stop button to begin/stop video shooting.
