Before you hit the record button, using live view, adjust your Shutter and/or ISO until you get the desired lighting. Sometimes you might encounter some flicker even though you already adjusted it to 60 or 50 hz. Adjust the shutter speed and you should get rid of it. Increase your ISO as needed.  Be careful when using your kit lens since the aperture changes as you zoom in or out, thus changes your overall settings. Focus manually since the mic will pick up the noise that it creates whenever it tries to acquire the subject.Practice practice practice and have fun.</blockquote>
