This is just excellent! I have been shooting for years and pretty much know all of this, fortunately. It is one of the best videos I have seen for people new to photographers and for those of us that are more experienced and need to be reminded from time to time.
Helped more than all the other M50 videos I’ve watched. Thank you.
Wow, that’s quite a compliment, thank you.
I agree!!
Gonna start with lessons in februari.... the m50 mk2 will be my second camera, i bought one 18y ago, so a looooot changed.
Your videos are fantastic and very informative❤
Thank you for that
This is honestly one of the best videos to improve your photography. It's taken my photography to another level and I find myself coming back to it all the time
So kind of you, thanks.
This video made me feel like I took a photography course.. such great information! Thanks for your effort 🙏🏼 I only have one question, did you record this video with Canon M50 as well? I like how the background looks blurry and vivid at the same time ☺️
Thanks, that’s a wonderful compliment, I really appreciate it. This was shot on the Canon M6 Mark II, which is the next model up from the M50. The blurry background is achieved by the lenses being used, which also works on the M50, it’s the sigma 16mm f1.4.
Same! The way he assigned us to go out and explore these settings felt just like a course tbh
I just bought my first SLR in 30 years - an M50 Mark II - your videos have been great to get me back into the swing of things. Thanks so much.
Great to hear!
I haven’t watched any of your videos except for this one and I’m drawn ! Your video has more information than most videos! You have a fan!
Awesome! Thank you!
I’ve got my Mark II a month ago and I was so excited to start making photos. After watching and reading lots of videos about the settings I was taking photos by randomly changing the setting manual mode, which gave me a bit of idea how the settings like ISO, aperture, etc are working… but it was so hard to understand what I have tot do in certain situations. So, today, I’ll start practicing by following your instructions, which has helped me by inspiring me 🙏
Great to hear!
great tip would be to follow a rule of thumb, but heres something that will help you out. Shutter speed( shows as 1/160 for ex) the higher the more motion you can capture like a flying bird but also the darker the picture gets. Appeture F( Ex f8) controls how wide the lens is open and changes the depth of feild. The higher the more things in focous like the subject and backgorund for like landscape pictrues. the lower the more depth of feild for portraits and add focous to the subject. and last but not least ISO, very important, increases the artaficial light on a picture on the canon eos m50 anything below 800 should be good the higher the iso the more grainy youd get, you can probably get away with nubers a bit higher but caerful abt the grain, now also search how to take hdr pictures because thats important and try using Av mode which lets your camera do most of the work but you control the appeture and iso helpful for fast shots and ya hope that helps
@@notpoop488 Hi, I have a question. I just bought Hoya CIR-PL Slim filter (polarizer). I see that image is automatically darker. I believe to correct it I just should manuver with ISO right?
Whats interesting is when I have ISO on AUTO without polarizer vs with polarizer, there is a significant difference in ISO and also pictures with polarizer are darker - shouldnt auto ISO adjust it to the same view (brightness) as it would be without polarizer?
When using manual mode, I tend to use auto ISO. Is that a good solution when shooting with polarizer filter?
Thank you so much for using the kit lens. That just made my day so much.. so many people tell me to stick with the basics to get better but i see videos using insanely better lenses.
You are most welcome.
thank u so much, i've been searching for someone who actually uses the kit lens as the example, cuz to be true, most of us, bought this camera cuz we don't have the money or the knowledge to buy other things...thank u so much.
I've been thinking about buying an M50 because my old camera isn't holding up anymore, but this video taught me about much more than just the camera! The way you explained everying was really clear and straight to the point with great examples! Thanks for the video man🤗
Thanks for the wonderful compliment. M50 is a great camera for the money, very hard to beat.
I have just bought my m50 markII . This video really helps
Great to hear!
This is an amazing video for someone entering the photography world with one of these starter cameras! I learned so much from all of the information you filled this short 17-minute video with.
Thank you for your kind words!
Great advice for any camera user, whether they have a M50 or not, I love my M6 Mk1. It’s not the camera it’s your appreciation of the subject you frame, don’t rush but look at what you see and try and capture that moment.😀
Well said!
I have no plans to do any content, be a photographer or be a professional artist in any way. But this definitely helps a lot. I just want to take good pictures of my family. Thank you.
I have been stagnant on my creativity when shooting…especially when Covid hit… so I took a break… those creative juices came back after rewatching your videos. Thanks Mark.
So good to hear!
Wow. These are some unbelievably good pointers! Thank you
This was great! I've been a photographer for 20 years now but just started using a mirrorless. These were great tips and honestly great reminders that you just kinda forget about over the years! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
excellent video, now I shoot in RAW (CRAW actually) and tweak the photos in Lightroom, the difference is night and day!
I'm still working on composition though.
Yes! Editing is huge, I plan on covering that in an upcoming video.
Excellent reminders of what's necessary to make good images. Thanks!
Great video ! I love how you share the information it’s so clear and easy to digest thank you so much!
Thanks for the great quick intro to photography. I know enough photography to know I don't know that much about photography. I'm still working on developing my vision even after all these years. And with the standard camera now able to shoot both video and stills with so many options, the fundamentals become more important than ever.
As for the rule of thirds, after many years of seeing it used, I think it is so effective because it is a method that 'makes room' for the viewer into the image. It has a psychological effect of saying 'you have a place in this experience; there is room for more here, I'm not trying to say it all for you'. Just a thought.
Good insight! I like it!
This was extremely helpful! I bought my m50 back in 2020 for making content for my business. Lately I have been wanting to improve my photography and videography skills. This got straight to the point and gave great exercises to practice the skill with this camera right out of the box. Thanks for the video 💪
I've really gotten into photography as of late, and have done some photography with my phone that I had gotten just because of it's camera. Very limited feeling with that though... I'm surprised your channel doesnt have anymore subcribers because it most definitely deserves them. You sir just helped me make my mind up on the camera I want to start off with !
Great content!
So good to hear! Thank you for the kind words! Enjoy the journey.
Awesome informative video
I knew a lot of these things, but some of them I didn't know before
Thank you
I got my Canon m50 today and took some photos, and none of them looked good, and I got frustrated. But I came across your video, and it really helped me to understand the basics things so I will try take some photos tomorrow. 😅😅
Going to India for a wedding in the fall and will sneak in a morning Tiger Safari. Dilemma - take my M50Mkii and pick up the M55-200 used, or my old (weather-sealed) 70D? I have the 70-200 BIG zoom lens for the 70D, but not crazy to lug it 1/2 way around the world for 4 hours of use. I'm thinking the M55-200 should be enough...I'm not a pro, and would prefer to travel light. Thanks for all your M50 videos - they have made my use of the camera so much more informed and better!
New to photography. Bought M50 yesterday and this is the best info versus all the videos I've watched.
Wow, Thanks for the kind words!
i've been in the edge about buying an M50 but today i'm gonna buy one because this video really made me hyped to get back into photography.
Nice to hear.
Very useful settings for the Canon M50 Mark II (in my case), thank you for sharing them, I really like the calm in your explanations, step by step with energy and patience. Quality video (including sound, lighting and image quality). Thank you 📷
Wow ! Había visto mil videos y nadie me había explicado tan bien ! Gracias !! 🤩
This is awesome! I am just scrolling through the internet to look for an affordable camera and found Canon m50 mark II interesting, So I go to youtube and hoping for a video run through about the camera. This is exactly what I hoped for. Huge help!
This has been the easiest to understand beginner video I’ve seen yet
Great to hear!
All your vids on the M50 have been the most helpful in my hours and hours of research and learning! Appreciate the quality vid
What a great comment, thank you.
I own no Canon camera and this was still extremely valuable. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Just landed in DR with my first M50 that I got in the mail yesterday - will definitely keep all of this in mind!
Enjoying the journey!
New to photography. I travel a lot for leisure to some less traveled hard to get to places, and wanted to take some photos of moments in time to share with family and friends. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks.
This was great. I’ve had my camera for a year and been too scared to use it. Your style of presentation is so encouraging and I love the lesson you have set. I’m off outside to photograph stuff.
That's wonderful to hear, good luck.
Newbie here. One of the worthiest videos that I found.
So kind of you to say, thanks.
This was such a great video! I just got my camera so excited to start taking amazing photos and videos. Thanks for all the info!
Great to hear! Enjoy.
I have been shooting for 30 years. This is a great video just going through the fundamentals
Thank you so much!
i love your english, im mexican and i can understand your words very clear
Great!
Just received my camera today. Your videos have already helped me a lot. Thank you. Really enjoyed your explanations.
Really good to hear, thank for you the kind words.
Man I just bought mine 2 days ago and I was kinda worry cause i thought I bought the wrong camera for me, but this video completely changed my mind, you're amazing, thnks for the tips! I also loved how an expert makes mistakes too and knows it
Thank you for your kind words!
Just got my Canon M50 Mark 2, what you said about sometimes putting it in landscape can put in too much into the frame making whatever photo you’re trying to take seem too bloated with objects / subjects. I felt exactly that when trying to photo a River Dam. Too much in the background. Couldn’t explain how I felt until you said it,
Great to hear. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for sharing this video i am a beginner in Photography just got my CANON mark 50II
Second time watching this, cause I'm pursuing freelance photography so this is so useful. SEFB for the win!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks.
It is a great basic and yet challenging video to help you create better photos.
Great to hear!
Thanks This video was the best by far ❤❤❤❤Helped me soooo much!!!
Great to hear!
Thank for the tips - really well explained for us noobs 😊
absolutely brilliant lesson I took so much from this thank you 😊
Wonderful to hear.
This was exactly what I needed...omw to Japan this year can't wait for street and food photography
Thanks. Enjoy Japan!
You have the best informative and well explained vids. Thank you! You are so easy to follow and understand. Im not overwhelmed with numbers
How kind of you, thanks!
This is the best video ever on photography like I've seen alot for this camera and this by far is the best on how to take really good pictures
Thanks, wonderful to hear.
Thanks Mark. I'm waiting for my m50 to arrive and I'll be buying the accessories too!
Welcome to the club! Enjoy the journey!
Helped a alot... Can u please bring cinematic video shooting tips for M50 Mark II
Yes, I really need to make that video. Thanks for the reminder.
@@markwiemels 🥰
enjoyed this - I recently purchased an M50 MarkII after using the SL3 and good to have a refresher on the basics
Great to hear!
Really nicely combined into one video. Simple but dense video. More then I asked for
Thanks.
Before watching: they always lived up my expectations 😅, grinded a good month to get used to the transition to a simple mirrorless full manual shooting. But let’s see
Very helpful for beginners 🎉. Never tried the faithful profile, seems like an interesting one.
Thank you for the 411. Love it! Such an easy follow, you keep it interesting. Such a great instructor. I just started photography (and film) for a hobby.
So nice to hear, enjoy the journey.
Super helpful for beginners. Straight forward and clear. Thank you. Appreciate this!
Thanks.
Thank you so much! I just got this camera, didn't have a clue where to start, your tutorial is perfect.
So good to hear! Good luck, enjoy the journey.
Your video is way better and way informative than other videos about a M50 on UA-cam really helped me a lot 🙏🏽
Thanks so much, it’s nice to hear that.
Great video Mark! I think a great follow up to this video would be the mechanics of actually taking a picture using the information you provided...pick an easy subject and walk through the steps, including all of the information seen on in/on the display and evaluating the result (maybe with some basic self troubleshooting...picture was blurry, color was off, light was bad, etc.etc) ...kind of the practical application of this video. For me, I find most videos focus on settings (which are good) and photography concepts (aperture, shutter speed, iso, etc, etc)-which are also good-but fall short of actually taking a picture and evaluating the steps, adjustments etc. Maybe the beginning of a cool progression series?
This is a great idea! thanks!
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MUCH MORE
I have finally made the decision in purchasing my first mirrorless camera, the Canon M50 Mark II. I had taken photography in HS using DSLRs so I have the minimal experience using these beautiful pieces of equipment.
I wrote this comment to give relation to the fixed focal point, as to make one move around and find their shot instead of adjusting the focal length. This is exactly how I’ve done it, but on my phone. I own an iPhone XR and it’s camera is well capable in capturing beautiful landscape photos plus a wide variety of styles. But the zoom function does not perform well in capturing clear photos. So I’ve been forced to move around as to capture the best shots possible. My camera is coming this Friday so I am ecstatic to begin shooting and learning more about photography.
Great to hear, good luck.
I don’t even have a camera (but i want the M50) and i find this video very interesting and feel like i learned A LOT!!! I will try to replicate the SEF-B with my cellphone, and practice until i have a real camera 🫶🏽 thanks for sharing your knoweldge. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks for these tips I'm thinking of buying this canon m50
Good choice!
Excellent video! very well explained and the feel that I’m in a class
Great to hear..
I’m not fanboying, but this is one of the best practical video for rookies I saw so far and it does not really require m50 to follow :)
Sir, you got a new subscriber.
Thanks for your kinda words!
Mark I loved this video, simplicity at explaining how to take great Photography. Your a class act 👍
Thank you for your kind words!
Great information for any new photographer. Thanks Mark this is fabulous information.
Thanks Darren!
I just got my first M50, and this was extremely helpful!
Great to hear!
Best m50 video in the world!
Wow, thanks!
I really enjoy your videos, great content and good vibes 👍. Also, the pase and length of the videos are just perfect.
Very clear explanation.. will definitely use these tips for my next trip!
Thanks a lot!
No worries! Good luck and enjoy the journey!
i want more videos like this . i can just set my settings and learn to do whatever that day you teach me
Yes, I' working on one now.
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm a newbie with my camera and hate it because I just don't understand it at all, but this was helpful. Thank you
Great to hear!
Great demonstration on how to use the M50 so useful and helpful as a novice user. Appreciate it man
Thanks.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I just bought my M50.
Great to hear!
So concise and thorough! Used your tips while taking pictures are a birthday party this weekend and most turned out great! Had some issues with out-of-focus subjects in some shots. Any tips for troubleshooting that?
hmmm... try using single point autofocus. In the standard mode, the camera is trying to be a mind reader and guess what you want in focus, and it's amazing how good it actually is at that, but single point allows you to put the autofocus point on the subject and let the camera know exactly what you want in focus. That would be my first suggestion.
Really helped me big time and well detailed information. Thanks a lot! Mark👍🏽
Great to hear!
this was such a beginner friendly and easy to digest informational video! thank you!!!!!!!
You're so welcome!
Hey mate. I absolutely love your videos. I got my m50 today and im going through all the setting now in conjuction with your videos. I cant wait to start taking pictures!
Thank you so much!
I knew it,i feel it myself that vertical or portrait orientation is the best.
Good to hear, trust your instincts.
Thank you very much for this video.
I've been taking photos ever since the summer of 2004, and I've loved photography ever since. However, after doing it for so long, I fell into a bit of a creative rut. That is, I didn't know what to photograph and, as a result, my skills became rather rusty. In other words, I got lazy. 😋
But, after being out of the game for so long, I'm finally back to holding a camera and I'm looking at the world with an eager eye.
I may have had quite a long dry spell, but I'm happy to be able to learn more about this wonderful subject and how to achieve better results.
I just bought a Canon M50 Mark II and plan to use it for a long time. Thanks for the advice on both settings, equipment, and composition. You've made this photographer hopeful and eager again.
Just wonderful to hear, enjoy the journey.
This is brilliant, thank you.
If you’d like a future video idea I’d appreciate hearing your tips on getting the most out of the M50 for capturing video/cinematic video.
Yes, that's on my list.
Most detailed and learning video for beginners
Thanks a lot
I haven't seen anyone describe like that 👌
Thank you so much!
