Hey i want ask something. I have a canon 100D if i record a video 1080p with SD Card Sandisk Ultra 48MB/s (SD HC 10) after 5 second my video stopped automaticly i dont know why this things happend, but when i used the V-Gen (SD HC 4) it keep recording and it was weird because my V-Gen is much slower, it was 10-20MB/s can you explain this? I have no idea cause v-Gen is more cheaper than my Sandisk and my sandisk cant even hold 1080p?!!!
SET YOUR CAMERA TO VIDEO AND THE DIAL TO MANUAL. ELSE YOU WONT HAVE ALL THE OPTIONS SHOW UP ON YOUR CAMERA.
Thanks Sean I love the way your videos always look and I am getting better every day with mine based upon the great advise you are always providing. :)
Providing the viewer more value is my biggest obstacle... I want to be able to offer more then "hey I'm just running arround, look at me" lol...
@@muhammadsulthanapyandra2809 I am having the exact same problem my video last about five seconds
Sean, you have taught me everything I know about making videos - and I still have a lot to learn!! Thank you so much for your awesome content. I'll be watching this video every morning for the next week!!
I've been researching, practicing, and (mainly) struggling with my DSLR for about a year--thanks to your video, I finally understand it!!! THANK YOU!! (definitely subscribed, I look forward to binging your content). Happy New Year!!
I still struggle with mine!
Your videos look amazing. The quality looks really good.
What are you using for editing?
Dude, thank you. For years the setting of shutter speed, aperture and ISO was a mystery to me. But you video makes it so clear, and you give an order for how to deal with them: framerate, shutter speed, aperture ISO. I get it. A huge light just came on. And the variation use the faster lens really helps. Great teaching. Thanks!
Just got a 80D for my setup, loving the help here Sean! One thing that I've been experiencing is the pain it is to switch between video and camera mode. Any tips on that?
Careful with that aperture though! You don't want it to get so shallow that a slight shift in your position in front of the camera causes you to get out of focus. With a nifty 50 lens, I wouldn't go up to F1/8. I'd go about F/4.
FroKnowsPhoto has a great video DSLR guide. I highly recommend it. Helped me out a lot!
Thanks Sean, just picked up a new 80D and was pulling my hair out trying to get the great settings to shoot my DIY channel. Thanks so much and keep putting them out. Tremendous help!!!!!
I recently bought a Canon 80D for my interior remodeling channel and I've watched a lot of videos on manual settings and trying to understand how each function works. This is by far the most practical and informative video I've watched about IOS and Aperture. I have never used a camera so this lingo is completely foreign to me. So when you applied each setting to a real-life situation (step by step) everything clicked in my head. And I finally understand these settings. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I look forward to using your style of videography in my videos. It's very much the style I'm looking for opposing to other photographers setups i've seen. I've also noticed the halo light adds a nice glowing ring inside your eyes. Very effective for sexy appeal jk lol Thanks, man!
This was so helpful! I'm a blogger and UA-camr who is finally trying to get out of shooting on Auto. You made it so simple that I feel more confident for my next video. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much dude!
Thanks so much Sean for this. I literally did this today, I purchased the grey card a few weeks ago and now my video I'm making actually looks like something. I made a few videos that looked awful and that deterred me from creating because they didn't look like other channels. I really appreciate what your doing to help newbies.
This was so helpful!! I’m just getting started so I’m super excited! Shot my first video last night with my lighting and my new Canon Rebel T6i! Looked amazing but I can’t wait to shoot with these settings! Thanks so much for your great videos!
this is one of THE most helpful dslr settings video I've ever seen, and I've now made a playlist specifically for this purpose :D thanks so much Sean, your a star!
Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing this behind the camera look much appreciation!
OMG Thank you for this vid! Recently purchased a entry level Canon DSLR and was having issues with settings. Very helpful for the beginner youtuber/non photography savvy person.
Thank you for making these videos. A lot of other videos only show you bits and pieces while you're actually getting behind the camera and showing us each setting, each step. Thanks man.
Good job Sean, this will help a lot of new creators. Keep up the hustle.
Chris
Thanks Chris! Love your channel and content. Would love to connect more someday. Keep crushing it!
Chris Winter I don't know who you are but you have a new subscriber
THiNK Media TV my biggest challenge on making video is exposure, gaining subscribers and finding the right DSLR
You two guys, my fav channel of Camera and gear review.. Maybe someday, you two must be Collabs .. #hehe :)
because of him, i bought a new camera that what i want.. #recommendedChannel :)
OH MY GOD!
dude literally this brought my quality from 100 to 100000 real quick thank youuu
Great explanation! DSLR cameras can be complicated to someone that isn't familiar with photography/video, when they first buy one. I am a realtor and bought a Nikon D5100 thinking it would automatically make my photos look better, paid about $800 maybe 5 years ago and hated it because I had no idea how to use it. Understanding the settings is super important and makes all the difference. I'm going to start doing videos/vlogs in my office at night and this will help so much! Thanks!!!
Hey Sean,
Thank you for creating this video. It confirmed that I’m doing some things right but my challenge is in locking down my shot after everything is set up. I spend hours getting everything set up ( including having my 82 yr old mom sit in as my double) and when I turn off the camera, everything goes back to fuzz! I know that people who crank out videos regularly don’t spend hours setting up their shot every time. It’s such a terrible use of time and so frustrating! I use a Canon T6i, 50 mm lens, and have lots of good lighting. I’d appreciate any feedback you might have for me and again, AWESOME video!👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️😀😀😀
Love this video Sean! Great job!
Thank you! I can get all my settings right when taking pictures, but I was having a hard time with videos. This video helped me out a ton! I need a ring light...
This is an example of the perfect UA-cam tutorial. Concise, informative and of course well shot! Thanks, I learned a lot that I can use right away!
Great video Sean, thank you very much.
This was really great. The best I've seen so far. However, I was trying to see if he was in manual mode and if he had the autofocus activated or not.👍
Thanks Bro its Helpful🙂
Hey Sean, great video! I was wondering why my videos have been coming out super gritty lately and because of your video I realize that it's because I've been ignoring the shutter speed and aperture out of ignorance of how they work. Thanks so much for breaking everything down!
Thank you for sharing this, Sean! Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I don't have the same camera as yours, but it's a DSLR and I was able to figure out how to access the same settings to achieve better quality video.
Super helpful video sean! Thanks!
I've seen plenty of videos just like this before and I actually enjoyed this one the most even if i already seen the other ones. Still some very good information that the other creators does not explain this good. Keep up the good work!
Wow this video was SO HELPFUL! I think I'm finally understanding depth of field. I think what I struggle with is shooting indoors when there is not much light or if there is a window behind someone.
This is one of the best videos I have watched for setting up a camera to shoot! Easy to understand and follow and actually showing how it looks on the camera AND subject at the same time was super helpful!
finally!!! someone that explained it so good that I actually understood how to set up my Canon. Thank you Sean!
This is exactly what I needed to see! Thanks, Sean!
Thank you Sean! This is the best simple video for configure your video settings for a video shot. Great Job!
Ok So i've been working on teaching myself how to do interviews for a new channel and for a corporate gig after a couple years of making youtube vids...I never really took the time to nail down the basics and got frustrated after a few experimental practice interviews with how they got pretty grainy despite all the lighting I had....you helped me realize why it wasn't working through the setup explaination you gave in this video...thank you so much for putting this video out there! I am so greatful!
I FINALLY solved my problem! thank you ! I was about ready to quit! I still can't seem to work out whats the best settings to export on premier pro if anybody can help with that?
I would love to see a video about how to make the most of your DSLR if all you have is the kit lens.
So much better of a tutorial on the 70D than any I've seen yet... Of course! Thanks
Extremely clear and instructional and concise in understanding your best practice order of settings and why. Bravo
This was an awesome video! I was motivated by your videos to take my old Canon Rebel XT (yeah its old) out of retirement but also to go with a dslr for my videos instead of a camcorder. I was looking at a Sony 4K Camcorder but went with the T7i since I know how reliable Canons are and your videos still look great at 1080p. Soon ill be looking at lighting and lenses.....
Focus would be my biggest concern, specially when shooting slow motions and smooth b rolls, the camera keeps tying to focus and out of focus .... is there a smooth way to do that focus transition and what should be the settings for that
Hey, this video really helped me! My videos looked like crap even though I was using a fancy camera. This straightened it out quick. Thanks for really getting down to the nuts and bolts in a way I couldn't find other videos or blogs to do! THANK YOU! :)
I've been trying to record videos for about a year or so now and have had so much trouble understanding all of this. This video makes perfect sense to me though. Thank you thank you for this easy and clear tutorial for beginners!!
A year?!
when i vlog should i keep it in manual or automatic, i find it easier in automatic, and im wondering if i will lose quality in automatic?
Sean, I think your face is overexposed when using the ring light. Apart from that really good video, with the basic principles.
TECH DRONE MEDIA my thoughts exactly
TECH DRONE MEDIA in the video after he does white balance it changes the balance of light on his skin. Idk if he was shooting for that but it is allot better looking afterwords.
I believe so, too. His face is a little bit overexposed or I could be wrong. Lol
I was thinking that as soon as I saw the video. I didn’t even want camera settings from him because this shot looks terrible.
I'ma break it to you guys... this man doesn't really know what he's doing...
Thank you! super helpful and specific. I really appreciate it. I will try to change up some of my settings based off this video when I film this weekened. I have been to scared to change from auto mode
Thanks for this great tutorial! I'm a newbie, and this just solved a couple problems I was running into. Grateful for you, Sean. Peace.
When my exposure is to high, I use my variable ND filter so I can my shutter speed at 60 and f/stop as low as possible.
Sean!!! thanks for this video I may watch it 10 times until I learn proper 📷 settings
Sean practices what he preaches . he is one of the best
Aliex Folgueira aha forreal
Yeah I watch it then get pumped then can't find a button or setting. Sit down and watch it again with what I've learned then get pumped. Then realize I still don't have something set right. Rinse and repeat. Lol
Great way to explain it to someone who is new to all this. so helpful. my videos wreck wayyyy over exposed and understanding how to set the white balance will make a huge difference. My skin looked all wrong. Thank you.
I truly dont comment often but this video has been the most helpful tool for me. I literally have everything and this helped out so much on how to get the best quality available. Thank you sean, straight to the point
I just bought a variable ND filter for this precise reason. That way I can keep my shutter speed at double the FPS, keep the aperture wide open and the ISO the lowest all while letting the filter cut some light to get the perfect exposure. Ive also found the variable ND filter indispensable for shooting video outdoors and being able to keep my shutter speed at double the FPS while still getting a perfect exposure. Otherwise this is a very well explained video.
I 2nd the ND filter. It's a better option than changing the speed, no good camera kit should be without one.
I don't ever mess with white balance. So great tip on that. Thanks for the video!
Neither do I!
Learnt lately that auto white balance works best in most cases. I have the dirty habit of holding a white paper before every shot to tune in 'push' white balance.
You are the only one I feel who does this job genuinely. You have help me a lot in my journey
Great information, I love the nifty-fifty lenses. I've always shot in full auto mode with my Canon DSLR's. I'm going to start using manual mode and adjusting the settings myself. Thanks!
When it comes to shutter speed I think there might be a confusion for some people because if doesn't usually display 60 but 1/60, 50 as 1/50 and so on.
Thanks for your great tutorials. Goodluck Dude :)
From Mongolia :P
thx
THiNK Media TV new fan, dude
OMG!! thank you so much!!!! I was having so many problems with settings and this video definitely explained it the best for me and now my shots look 110% better
Single greatest video I've seen yet on DSLR setup for video! Great job!!!!
Hey there...I'm 100% not bashing you just letting you know that after doing some extensive research I found out that the grey side is actually for setting exposure and it has become a common myth over the years that it it also perfect for white balance, however the white side of you're card is actually what should be used to set white balance. The colours will be be more accurate that way, I tested it myself...you get more of a yellowish hue in your pics/vids when you use the grey side. Feel free to check it out and have a great day :)
That's 100% not true.
That is 100% true. Always use a *white* balance card, but make sure it's not overexposed.
💯
Extremely helpful video
Very helpful. The only thing I'm not sure about, is that I'm not usually going to be shooting in a studio setting. I'm going to be in various indoor locations with various types of lighting. So, I will play with these settings, based on what you taught me, and see how they apply.
Kinda of weird that I just got my DSLR yesterday and was wondering the exact same thing :P
Tech Volt I bought might mine over 4 month but don't use it because I'm clueless where to start
itsme okay same here. any progress?
but dude, it's too bright when your face is in front of the light ring. I dunno why'd you call that perfect skin tone, am I missing something here.
Thanks for pushing out all the content Sean! Been checking out a bunch of your vids and I've found a ton of value from them! Keep it up!
Great video, just got my Canon 70D today and with the help from your video I feel much more confident in providing my viewers with professional quality videos!
Thank you soo much. I had my ISO way too high "1600" 😂💀
What's my biggest challenge? Just talking to the darn camera!!
Learned the basics just by watching this! Thank you, very much for this perfect tutorial.
You did an amazing job at simplifying everything! Awesome teacher!
hi.. can u make a video tutorial how to get a great shoot in the dark? i have seen youtubers that make videos with the dark backgroung and using led lights changing colors
like before watching
always
Thanks Sean! This was really helpful! I was able to follow along and change the settings of my own camera. You not only shared what to do, but why we should do it! Thank you! I'm looking forward to improving my videos with this info!
Thanks Sean, for the quick tutorial. 70D is an amazing toy to have. Just got mine.
When you said Baked Potato I got hungry.
:-)
Biggest challenge for me is the color grading and dialing in the picture profile.
Thank You SOOOO much. I recently posted a bunch of vids on my other channel and the quality was all over the place. I now see what I messed up. So grateful to you for this video. Thanks so much!
This video is FANTASTIC!!! I am totally one of those people who are all “why don’t my videos look like that?” This step by step guide is going to help so much. Thanks!
Our biggest challenge is not having enough time to make all the video Ideas we have.
I wonder if you started 5 years ago and would have made all your video ideas by now
Just bought $800 worth of video crap through your link. Enjoy!
Sooooo helpful thank you! Had just got my new SL2 out of the box and shot a test video and shocked at the quality! Watching your video has got the setting right ... hurray!
Thank you great advices. I learn so much from you. Now im starting my youtube Chanel for the first time! Talking about my personal growth and how to overcome some challenges in everyday life ☘️
"The shot would look like a baked potato" lol
Biggest Challenge: Making the time to edit. Plenty of footage in the can, just taking too long to edit it all.
Bret Atwood omg me too!!!
Thank you for the tips. I tried how you showed and tweaked some settings a bit, the quality was excellent. Thank you.
AWESOME VIDEO! I am starting a tech channel and this will really help me. I have got to say you are one of my favorite youtubers its close between you and Peter Mckinnon.
your face is a little over exposed in that close up shot
5th like bro!!
I have a doubt
I want to create UA-cam channel/channels
I will put project, gameplay and funny videos
Should I create separate channels or put them all in a same channel?
Can you please reply bro please?
***** So... Which is a better idea? Create single channel and putting altogether ? Or creating separate channels?
Very helpful.
Thank You So Much
Sean! I absolutely loved this video! Definitely informing my first go at setting up a DSLR for video content. Thank you and keep adding value to world! Cheers!
biggest problem getting money for a dslr
If you're not against used gear, Amazon has the used and refurbished second. Local pawn shops also have great deals on DSLRs and the quality has always been good at my local place.
In my country people are that greedy that they would sell their dslr maybe $50 less fml.
In that case get a T2i or T3i. Very cheap and good quality
I sold my motorcycle to get a dslr and a few other things for recording music. Learning as much as possible to shoot good videos. My previous have been with an iPhone. I want to have great quality for my music.
no homo but he got nice eyes
if you have to justify yourself before making a compliment then, my friend, you're not so sure about it.... bye. hihihihi
W8veyDave lmaooo
The best explanation I have heard till now. Short and very easy to understand. Thanks Sean!
Awesome video Sean! Helped a lot!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Hi bhai
Great video that's straight to the point - without the fluff. Just unboxed my Canon 90D - and clueless - this video saved my bacon today!! Thank you.
If there is too much light, one can always get more exposure latitude by putting some kind of filter on the lens - typically a Neutral Density filter, or a Polarizing filter. More glass in front of a lens cuts down on the transmission of light (i.e., total amount) getting to the sensor.
I keep coming back to this video. 70 D may be a little older but it is solid.
