I love how fast I click on these and watch them despite not having the funds for the cameras haha
I can’t comprehend how you can say DPreviewTVviewers that quickly.
I want Jordan to do a video about why he hated using the Pentax K-01!
Of course I can tell the difference between the S1H and the K-01, but it's less than I expected.
This goes to show that, whatever camera you have, as long as it has a video mode, you can make movies with it if you understand exposure, audio, and lighting. Hence the video before about Jordan having to lug lights around when using the K-01.
We have long since passed the "good enough for UA-cam" standard. It's actually a great equalizer.
This is an excellent video with a lot of great tips, especially Jordan's tip about setting the cameras in video mode to "locked on" for servo tracking. But man, I couldn't understand that initial point AF explanation from Chris at 7:40 to save my life lol
As an Canon R6 owner I can highly appreciate this. I also put the animal/people toggle under 'my menu' early on as indeed there is no other way to quickly toggle this instead of using custom mode. We have two photogenic cats so being able to switch quickly between taking photos of them and human family members would be nice ;-) It would be great if Canon made this switchable in i.e. the quick menu in a future firmware update. And regarding the R6's lack of custom video modes. The R5 top menu offers more flexibilty of course than the mode dial on the R6. But I could image this could be implemented in a different way, and I also wonder why the C1, C2 and C3 modes are exlusively reserved for photographs. I use my R6 during working hours as a very high end webcam in combination with a HDMI capture card in the home office. Now I have to reconfigure the resolution, frame rate, HDMI output setting and sound recording mode... so yes I would really appreciate custom video settings :-D
You guys always have such great content! Thank you for this. There is so much real world practical knowledge in this 12 minute video, much of which I was unaware of.
This is beyond the basics. And something I needed. Thanks, guys.
Thanks! Y'all pointed out a couple of subtleties I didn't know!
Just ordered the R6! Can't wait to use it. This video makes the waiting time easier :)
Thanks. I just realized while watching this video that a recent webcast went bad because I had one-shot set instead of servo. Rookie error. The R6 is phenomenal. I hope to have an R5 in a few months. P.S. the K-01 footage was actually decent, although that's likely a testament to Jordan's skill as a videographer.
As an addition to the AF settings, I am shooting wildlife the the R5 and like to set the tracking to start from the last used point (second option), but configure my AF-on button to start the tracking when pressed. That way you can use the "normal" AF points to prefocus and then start the tracking immediatly from where you are when you get something to lock on.
Now please do your settings for the X-T4. Great content as always. I never miss your videos.
What’s the best setup for the ibis? Seen lots of wobbly ibis clips online!
don't use it with a super-wide lens. most of those wobbly clips are shot at 18mm or wider.
I think 35mm and above its good.
@@markshirley01 I use an r6 with a 24 and there is very very little wobble at 24mm. at 30 theres is none
@@captpatrick891 thanks - good to know, as at 24 and wider I actually have no problems anyway holding a camera steady anyway. 👍
24mm and up the IBIS works pretty good. I also frequently combine it with digital EIS and get really good results. I don't know why people expect to film at 16mm with IBIS and not have any kind of wobble. Even with Olympus you need Digital EIS to crop out wobbling corners.
Thanks guys, very helpful!
Would love a similar guide for fuji xs10 please! I imagine setting up that camera will be very different as compared to other fuji's?
So glad I found this... literally picked up an r6 yesterday
How is it so far? For video ?
Great short video...
Do one for the duo of Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T4.
They also share quite a lot so it would be an
equivalent video for some of the best APS-C
hybric mirrorless...
Hey yes, pleas give us your recomendations on settings for the Pentax K1 ;)
Does this camera shoot video?
Thanks for the helpful tips! Long time canon user and very familiar to the system. Have just upgraded to the R5 (shooting weddings, events commercial and landscapes for myself). For shooting landscape I'll obviously be leaving the camera in full RAW, but for weddings, I'm thinking the C-Raw.. just wanted to ask the dumb question.. is C-Raw still a lossless file? I know its compressed, but is it still lossless?
Hello do you have a video on settings for slow motion for my R5? thank you
Some settings on fujifilm camera's would be much appreciated, for me the t-x30 in particular 😀
I would love to see your recommendations for vlogging with A6500. Maybe you can do general advice on settings for vlogging. Major difference is, there is no one behind the camera and you have to rely on your camera to get you in focus right.
That manual focus assist is amazing! I doubt it'll happen, but I'd love Sony to include a feature like that on the A7 IV because the Voigtlander 65mm APO is possibly my favorite lens.
Plz make video on a7c setup guide
Thanks gentlemen. I actually want your review on Sony a9ii. I know it's "old" but I didn't see you review it ever. I really would love to see it.
Thanks for the tip on the option of 8-bit recording. I've been hearing the horror stories of difficulty editing the H.265 10-bit files. I'm assuming that 8-bit quality would be reasonable. I used to shoot interviews in 1080/24 All-I with my 5D4, which of course was 8-bit, and I got nothing but compliments from the production people. Possibly for broadcast purposes I'd need 10-bit?
I was pretty disappointed to find out that the awesome Canon Focus Guide doesn't actually work on fully manual lenses. It requires that the lens communicates with the camera.
Chris and Jordan, I reviewed your video again regarding R5 settings for the video part because I'm shooting more video and need to get batter at it, so your setup tips are helpful. However, I wanted to bring to your attention a point about R5 video settings I watched on another video. He suggested that for video, you need to set the minimum ISO at 400 because that is the R5's default and you should not be shooting video below ISO 400. I hope I have described that correctly. What do you know about that, and is that true? Love to hear your feedback
Hi! Thanks for sharing this! I want to shoot silent (electronic) but my electronic shutter is disabled. The other two are enabled. How do I enable it please?
For R5 hybrid shooters, could I suggest another configuration for the C3 video setting rather than 4K/120p with a 180-shutter angle? I find it is useful to always be ready to capture unfolding events, impromptu-style - you never know what you will encounter. In photo mode, pressing the "movie shooting button" starts recording video, using C3 video settings. It is therefore useful to have C3 configured with this in mind, which for most probably means automatic settings (P-mode, auto sound levels...) as it is better to capture the action rather than tune perfect parameters but miss the shot...
Kind of liked the pentax moment, reminded me of days that are hard go remember
This is really helpful. Could you do one on the Nikon Z6II.
PS - Jordans last point on the R6 is the reason I couldn't buy a R6 (please canon listen to him).
Just checking, does really r5 limit its features once the battery gets down to 60% and if it does is there a way to turn that setting off?
You indicated that you prefer option 1 for Initial servo AF pt settings. Just curious as to why you prefer this option. I do quite a bit of birding and for me option 2 would be something that can help if the eye detection does not seem to work and I need to point the camera where to start the tracking.
I realized that if I set the AF modes to custom buttons, the scenario that you described 7:29 has no effect. That means option 1 and 2 behaves the same.
I have video idea for your channel. Comparison of AF performance in eye/face focus when model has face mask (different types/colors) between multiple camera systems.
Thanks!
Howdy you 2. I made it just in time. Great work as always, informatif, exciting, fast action, and, the drama...my heart just beats a little faster when Mr. Jordan talks....I get goose bumps up and down one of my many legs....ooooh, the tingle. Baaaaaaahaaaaa....just kidding.
As always, keep up the good work and keep'em flying...
Don't even have a Canon, but I see Chris and Jordan, I click
lol same
Yep
basically one button for normal locked on tracking and one button for eye af! wow that's a lifesaver i've been wondering what to do in situations without or too many faces
How do I set up a Pentax K01 correctly? Will a hammer be sufficient?
for a hybrid shooter r5 or s1h ?
Thanks for this! I'm a new R5 owner, and know the stills end pretty well, but am thirsty for video tips as a newb who wants to learn. The whole thing here seems impossibly condensed and even 1.2x speed on top of that, but the Jordan video segment especially. YES I want to set up my custom video, but Jordan uses all 3 for various speeds of 4K. I'd love to have more than 3... and think maybe I can use My Menu for more? I'd like a preset for 8K too, and a 4K 60fps w and wo clog. I'd honestly like a 45 minute piece w Jordan covering video options and presets on the R5... Maybe he could set that up as a bid item for his kid's school fundraiser auction?!!!
Hey guys!! Missing you making videos together
im still holding of on the r6 because the adapter is still unavailable since now 6 months here in switzerland TT
Hi there, when i go to my custom settings my shutterspeed and iso are locked,...I already reset al my settings but I can't seem to change it. maybe it' something easy that I need to do to fix this but I have no idea. maybe someone knows what I should do?
has the k01 challenged Jordan in a good way
And I just received my R6 yesterday. Though I have set it up already, let's see if I missed something ;)
How is the R6 so far?
@@jv8studios Absolutely loving it so far. The AF is a revelation and I can't see a difference in detail resolution compared to the 30MP EOS R when zoomed in 200% in Lightroom. Just wished I could assign a button to switching between people/animal eye AF.
@@TherconJair that’s great man ! Seems quality! What type photography do you u use it for ?
@@jv8studios Events, weddings, product photography, but also for personal landscape, portraits etc
@@TherconJair awesome 💯 You must be enjoying the R6 !
I have the * button to switch to subject tracking with eye af. At-on to single focus point.
Chris and Jordan experts in heavy pushing and pulling 😉
I have a new Canon EOS R6 and the menu system appears to be different. Any chance there has been an update?
You forgot one: R5 also has the ability when in photo mode to have the top video record button activate video custom mode 3 when pressed. Very handy for people who may want to shoot some photos and quickly grab a video clip at a wedding, for example. I recommend setting it to 4K non-HQ mode so there are no "overheating" timer issues.
You can also set custom mode to 8K and this can be very handy for wildlife or action sports photography when fast shutter speeds are used in video. You can basically get 8K 30fps "HEIF photos" extracted from the video file.
you can also set the MFn button to switch between photo & video modes. saves having to fiddle about with the dial + info button
This concerns tab 5. Initial servo AF settings
You should make videos like this for Nikon and Sony.
R6 should easily be the camera of 2020.
Versatility, speed and low light performance unheard of before
Pricepoint is high but not unattainable for part time professional work and serious hobbyists (I am both), while having absolutely stellar features and specs, and backwards comparability with EF system
Say more on the R5 please
Unfortunately, I don't understand the explanation of the settings from 7:00 onwards. I can't even replicate this on my R6. I try to follow second by second and there is no difference between option 1 and 2. help! please
Naturally, for the next milestone challenge (350k or 400k subs?), Chris will have to use a 35mm for a whole month or something.
now that's just mean haha
Hi dpreviewtv
When the canon eos r5 and canon eos r6 price going to drop
Any ideas
when a7 iv comes out
@@elementarytechie6449 do you know when a7 mark iv comes out
@@jamescarlos8642 no. probably in summer cuz sony just released a1
@@elementarytechie6449 when the price drops for canon eos r6
Thanks team, beginning to understand why the R6 instruction manual has nearly 900 pages.
Next camera shooting subscriber challenge: Nikon Coolpix A! Thats of course if Jordan could find the movie mode in the menu, MuuuhhhHhhhaaaAAAaAa
As to what next from Canon... I'd love to see a digital Canonet. Full-frame sensor, slim down the form factor from the R# line and make it ideally rangefinder-style rather than SLR-style, maybe lightly weather sealed, fixed lens with a focal length of either 45 or 50mm, aperture under f/2, integrated ND filters to make it easier to use the fast lens in full sun.
Such a camera would stand apart from the Fuji x100v, Sony RX1, Leica Q2 by having longer focal length and faster lens for shallower depth of field. A new 45 f/1.6 would be ideal, and replicate the look of film Canonets, maybe with a closer MFD than the RF nifty 50. However, just using their existing 50mm f/1.8 optics, with the RP sensor and processor, in a smaller rangefinder body would be fine.
@Apple Pear That's fair. Never had an old Canonet, but the cameras I shot in high school and college were a Konica S2 Auto (alas, I dropped it and broke the shutter) and a Minolta SR-1s that used to belong to my parents. I've also been scanning in some of their old slides--including an old mirror selfie my mom shot on the Konica, some driveway portraits of my older brother when he was like 2 that my dad shot on a Minolta.
The best nostalgia products take what we like (a relatively compact form factor, the normal field of view, shallow depth of field), but mix with the best of the modern age (advances in optical design, the convenience of digital, good autofocus). I can imagine having a lot of fun with, say, a Canonet RG18--can't be QL since no film to load quickly!
A videocentric episode with the Canon C70 please
I heard the c70 is a beast !
Z6 I! Thx
I just bought the canon eos r6 and everything i point the camera at has a red hue to it Anyone able to help??
Sounds like you have ‘Focus Peaking’ enabled. You can disable it in the focus menu.
@DPReview TV focus peeking is set to off. This red colour occurs in the view finder, and the screen itself
A few notable observations, 1: R6 does not allow for Aperture Priority in Video and you cannot record internally and have clean HDMI out. These were 2 surprises for me.
How many hard drives full of your own B roll do you guys have? I can’t imagine...
👌👌👌
I used to really care about this stuff, but somewhere during the explanation of Initial Focus Point Servo Case Mode Priority Detect Function Tracking Deceleration selection, my eyes glazed over. Kind of makes me want to buy a PIXII...
Wait. Electronic first curtain changes the look of the bokeh? The first time I ever heard of this? What is the physical reason for this? To my knowledge the cameras operate with a fully open aperture until the photo is taken, but the aperture changing for the shot wouldn't explain this behaviour.
Could this have to do, and as such start to appear, when the shutter speed is fast enough that normally a shutter would move across the sensor as a slit?
Menus are "almost" identical. The EOS R6 doesn't have voice recording but the EOS R5 does.
Unfortunately (similar to the RATE button) this is only applied to *one card* instead of both cards. I really wish Canon would fix this.
Other disadvantage of electronic shutter is that one can't use flash.
First we'd like to know where to steal the money for R6 and R5. Menus should be pretty intuitive, since it's Canon.
Work loser. Grow up.
@@letsfindout6587 I I prefer stealing money. Working is overrated.
#1 requirement hurt me and my trusty old 600D :'(
Will never own a Canon EOS R5/R6. Watched every second of the video.
Frankly, I was hoping for more of an, "On the first menu select this, on the second select that!" Kind of idiot proof starting points for all settings, from which you can adjust as you gain experience with the camera. As is it is a little fast and tech heavy for my old school, old timer brain. I know the video is packed with info, but I will likely have to play it multiple times to get the most out of it. It's kind of like that old commercial, "You want me to do what with the what what?"
Instructions unclear on step 1. I picked up a Lumix S1 😂
Ugh, really? I started taking pictures in 1966 with my Dad's 1939-ish vintage Zeiss Ikon folding camera! The R6 will arrive tomorrow and I no longer take pictures because the R6 does it all.
How the hell. 2 views. And 2 comments.
I actually disagree with something that was said about the AF settings. They mentioned "Never use the AUTO" initial AF setting. IMO, this is the worst advice. True, depending on your subject Initial point will likely be better, however, there are some small in frame subjects that using Initial point is too difficult. For those subjects (birds) the AUTO setting is my favorite.
0:45 Instructions unclear, while making sure I had a R5 I grabbed my neighbors toilet plunger.
I don’t even own one of these cameras 🤭🤷🏿♂️
Will these settings prevent the cameras from bursting into flames while using them?
@They Caged Non Obviously not since you posted.
Where is the obligatory "ice-chest" comment?
NEXT UP! HOW TO SWITCH ON YOUR SONY A7s III !!! YOURSELF!!!
Actually I think EOS R users are more likely need menu settings
R5 or R6 users are pro right?🤣
This is Not a how to set up your camera. This is just explaining what features it has..... this video had a lot of potential :/
It’s easy for me to get even more confused...
Talk to fast
Not sure I would trust a Sony fanboy to tell me how to set up a Canon R5 or R6 given your previous reviews throwing shade, esp on the R5🥴
7:20 TBH, there's way too much talk in this video about going to and staying at the far right for my taste.
Good at wasting my time!
K-01 footage looked so much better than this crap.
WHAT..?!?!?..."Incredibly popular"...?...You mean there's a disconnect between DPR and the real world...!?...Who would have guessed...
