Canon 500D/550D Users: There is limitation that you can't start video recording if dial is not on 'movie' position. Also you have to turn liveview on manually in 'movie' mode. Unfortunately Canon doesn't allow to bypass initial message about lens during power on the camera in movie mode so manual interaction is needed.
