I'm 12 years old and I'm taking media production classes, my teacher is testing us on the Canon 60D. This video is older than me but it is so so useful! Thank you Jared Polin!
I like how we're learning the camera WITH him 😂 Makes me feel less bad about myself because I'm a beginner to canon and was looking for a brief video on the 60D lol
Just Brought This Camera, First DSLR so very happy with it. One of the most helpful tutorials, the others are rather boring and hard to listen due to there entertainment value, Good work!
@JaredPolin C Mode is basically just a custom mode. You could make it TV, AV or M with specific settings like exposure compensation, picture styles, white balance etc. So instead of going to M/AV/TV mode and manually selecting all the different settings you want via the menu, you just save the frequently used settings, register them to the C mode and you are good to go.
this one the 60D, one of the best cameras ive had. i got mine yesterday with a 50mm 1.8 and 17-40L all used for $1400, not bad at all, the camera was $580 refurb its like a brand new one.
Awesome video, love the way you don't skip the basic stuff. I've got a 60D coming this week and I'm a (relative) beginner. Don't stop the free flow method of making these videos.
"C" shooting mode - let's you save a "custom" settings in the camera that you can quickly roll back to, e.g. your "studio" setup. Same as the C1,C2,C3 on the 5D+ series or U1,U2 on Nikon D7000.
This man is funny as hell to me I love his narrative he is so nonchalant and not intentionally trying to be funny he is just being himself but I love how he explains things lol, it’s so much better than the dragged out videos I have been seeing on here!!!
Great Great! I just bought a Canon 60D and needed a walkthrough on the buttons. I think its great that you can find help to everything on youtube.. Thanks, great video! :) Jesper/Denmark
Love the video. Just got the camera and you've got me up and running faster than if I took the time to read the manual... And i'd love to have hair like that
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm a newbie amateur photographer and just recently bought a 60D myself, your tutorial helped me a lot. Thanks for using using layman's term in explaining each and every button in the camera! You earned yourself another subscriber! :D
@xxhtwndevaxx the persons info may be in each file, id call the station where you found it and than call the police and let them know u found it so that the owner can get it back. Its the right thing to do.
C mode is custom mode. it means you can change what the camera does. All the buttons you talked about here can be changed in this mode...the slider mode can then be chaged around so the shutter priority switch can be changed from the front to the back slider --for those that don't like where it is located. I'm a pentax user and they call this feature User. Its sort of changing the factory setting of the camera to suit the way the user wants it. hopefully you understood this. cheers
Nice walk-through Jared. The vari-angle screen also comes in real handy when you use it to film yourself, like a UA-cam video. Makes it easy to see if everything is in focus and to see if what you want in the frame is in the frame. I hope you have time to really put the 60D through it 's paces, and give your opinion on whether this is a good entry level camera.
@JaredPolin Hey Jared. I believe the C mode is a custom manual mode for the camera. I don't have the 60d but I have the 550d or Rebel T2i as its known here in the states. It has a C1 and C2 mode which saves your camera settings such as white bal. and my Exposure/Aperture. According to online sources they say that that C mode in the 60d is the same thing. Hope this helps, thanks for doing this review. I'm a Canon guy but love what NIkon does too! Cheers!
@dancingduckxo how do u like it? I have it as well and I love it! I've heard though that a lot of people hate it and the call it a super rebel. But to me coming from a kodak point and shoot any dslr is awesom
@JaredPolin C mode is actually a Custom Mode you can define so it is easier to have your settings ready to shoot. What I understood: it is P mode where you can define your custom settings including if shooting RAW/JPEG and so on. You can even change button layout for this mode individually... But I never used it so far.
Nominally.... to the naked eye the video differences are more dependent on skill and glass I find..... The 7D is no better on video, but does have better focus abilities, and the 70D of course just replaced the 60D so it had better be better I might get one of those for the AF possibilities :)
for image/video quality the 60d/70d/7d are practically the same give or take the slightest difference. But given the type of person in the market for this sort of camera is really going to be fussed, they will most likely not even notice a difference! The 70d with the sigma 18-35mm is an unbeatable combo the auto focus during video is incredible most definitely worth the upgrade. :)
'C' mode is custom mode. It's where you access your saved favourite shooting mode settings from other shoot modes, like Tv, P, and Av after you've saved your settings, I believe.
Thanks for the vid man. I found it really helpful. Had this camera for some time and you made it easy to figure out. I'm going to watch your part 2.... and read the manual :)
@JaredPolin C mode is a user mode... it means you can program all the settings to what ever you want and quickly go to them. example: if your at a concert or something and the lights make a big change you can quickly go to this C mode and not have to try to quickly change ISO, or aperture.
how is battery life? and how about storage endurance do you need to recharge every few days or can you let it sit for a month and still have juice to shoot?
I like your caption pictures at the top right... would help if you circle/highlight the buttons you're talking about, especially when there are multiple buttons in the pictures
@JaredPolin as far as I know the C stands for custom mode. So you can set it to be the way you like. You can for example pre set that mode for certain light or make it a second Av mode or something.
@MsClockSpeed if you cant afford the 60D try he T2i / 550D. Its a great camera as well. Doesnt have the rotating screen but does full 1080p video and the 18M images like the 60D. 60D is more pro-sumer level but the T2i has most of the features as the 7D and 60D built in. Then you can upgrade later when you can afford it.
@TheDigitalPhotograph Yup I really don't like the auto mode cuz its usually darker even with the flash out. I'm still trying to figure out the stuff you mentioned. Maybe some fine day I'll master it =)
The 60D is larger and heavier than the T2i but smaller and lighter than the 7D. It is a very nice size, weight, feel, and design that should be comfortable for most users. I got it on: #amzn.to/1c5b7js
hey jared ! nice tutorial for the beginners out there... but i spotted one small mistake haha when you put the lens back on, you said "you line the white dot with the red dot"... the white dot is only for the EF-S lenses, the red dot is only for the EF lenses... so you need to line up the white dot on the body with the white dot on the lens or the red dot with the red dot ;-)
Great video Jared! I still prefer the Nikons, but if I were to buy a Cannon this would be the one. And I didn't know that a triangle could be sideways. Haha =)
I have the T2i / 550D but now think I should have gotten this 60D as it as the built in wireless flash triggering for off camera flash, and of course the swivel screen
When changing the lens you have to line the white dot with the WHITE dot of the lens and if the lens hace no white dot, you have to line the red dot with the RED dot of the camera ;)
I didnt read all comments, so I dont know if someone said anything about AF-On. I think it is a nice thing if u dont want to measure focus and light for every shot u can lock it by pressing AF-ON and than just focus on framing. I dont use it often, but it can come handy when u need it.
i usually always use live mode, because i always wear moisturizer and when i use the view finder, my freaking face gets the lcd screen all nasty. yeah.. :(
@9:02 - the checkerboard button on the back side next to the + / - buttons is for when reviewing pix, you can see 1 at a time, or 9 at a time or page at a time so you can then quickly scroll thru pix by pix or page by page to get to the ones you want to review/play.
@JaredPolin in the C mode you can create a preset, e.g. containing a specific shutter speed, aperture and ISO, but also different focus modes, exposure metering and so on... more infos about that button should be in the users manual on page 262 (at least it is at that page in the german version)
This is the most expensive camera I've own so far. Good photos but a lot of times I get outcome that I don't like. For example if I take a picture of 2 person, one person is clear and the other is blur. I like using the Auto without flash because the photo is comes out nicer in colour. Any tip?
@JaredPolin im with u i work hard for my cannon 60D it took me 5 month to get it making money in thiferent things and if i lost my camera i would cry like a baby, so plz try to do the correct thanks.
star/snowflakesign on back upper right corner is for "Auto Expose Lock" -function (working in creative mode, other than "M") where you can lock your AE for something bright and then take a pic of something dark or vice versa.
@JaredPolin i own a nikon d200, i had the option of getting a canon 60d do you think i made the right choice? PS im happy with my nikon, its uplgarded from a canon 30D but wondering what your opinion on my choice is
Too late to film Part 2? Woopsie
Youve got to be kidding me XD
ITS BEEN 8 YEARS JARED. 8. YEARS.
You could've at least waited until 2021 so it's been a nice 10 years.
Been waiting 8 long years for it, you should at least do it for a pun, still got it rockin' on a shelf

Eos 60d in 2019 vid plss :D
I'm 12 years old and I'm taking media production classes, my teacher is testing us on the Canon 60D. This video is older than me but it is so so useful! Thank you Jared Polin!
Still waiting for part 2 over five years later.
Surely OP will deliver.
Me too!!
qmriis lool
He realized he had no idea wtf he was talking about.
Will there be a part two??
Still waiting.
I like how we're learning the camera WITH him 😂 Makes me feel less bad about myself because I'm a beginner to canon and was looking for a brief video on the 60D lol
"Save your favorite settings using C-mode"
You can read more about C-mode on page 262 of the 60D manual ;)

I was so confused on how to work this camera. just rented it from my school. The worst part was learning how to turn the dial. thank you so much.
TV - Time Value
AV - Aperture Value
C - Custom Mode
Great Great! I just bought a Canon 60D and needed a walkthrough on the buttons. I think its great that you can find help to everything on youtube.. Thanks, great video! :)
Jesper/Denmark
C-mode is 'custom'. You set all your settings, then go into the menu and basically click 'save', and C mode is those saved settings.
Love the video. Just got the camera and you've got me up and running faster than if I took the time to read the manual... And i'd love to have hair like that
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm a newbie amateur photographer and just recently bought a 60D myself, your tutorial helped me a lot. Thanks for using using layman's term in explaining each and every button in the camera! You earned yourself another subscriber! :D
Still subbed ?
@parvaust there was, in FroKnowsPhoto Show #001
Thanks for some tips on the Canon 60D. Just bought mine a week ago. Not bad for a 10 year old camera
@haji727 there is plenty of 7000 stuff coming.
@xxhtwndevaxx im sorry, if you found someones lost camera the right thing to do is try and return it, i cant help u if its not ur camera.
Is Part 2 still coming? :)
Just got mine and will never go back! It is art of technology imo!
@xxhtwndevaxx the persons info may be in each file, id call the station where you found it and than call the police and let them know u found it so that the owner can get it back. Its the right thing to do.
Still waiting for a part 2 lol the C Is Camera User Mode
I've Got This Camera Coming In The Mail Soon, What a Great Help You Have Been... Great Info !
I have a 60D, this video was helpful. I had not noticed the auto-non-flash mode. Thanks!
C mode is custom mode. it means you can change what the camera does. All the buttons you talked about here can be changed in this mode...the slider mode can then be chaged around so the shutter priority switch can be changed from the front to the back slider --for those that don't like where it is located. I'm a pentax user and they call this feature User. Its sort of changing the factory setting of the camera to suit the way the user wants it.
hopefully you understood this. cheers
@jukklies cool thanks, how about that C mode?
Im quite happy you've started rewieving canon.
I just got this camera and this video is so helpful thank you so much ❤
i can't find part 2, is it coming up yet?
Nice walk-through Jared. The vari-angle screen also comes in real handy when you use it to film yourself, like a UA-cam video. Makes it easy to see if everything is in focus and to see if what you want in the frame is in the frame.

just bought a canon 60d and learning. it....Thanks for your help and you seem like a real kool guy!
@dancingduckxo how do u like it? I have it as well and I love it! I've heard though that a lot of people hate it and the call it a super rebel. But to me coming from a kodak point and shoot any dslr is awesom
Do you have a video explaining how to use the program the camera comes with?
Love the videos, but when is part 2 going to be published?!?!?
@JaredPolin C mode is actually a Custom Mode you can define so it is easier to have your settings ready to shoot. What I understood: it is P mode where you can define your custom settings including if shooting RAW/JPEG and so on. You can even change button layout for this mode individually... But I never used it so far.
First of all great video, when will you upload Part 2? Unless you have already and I can't find it?
Where is part 2? I have looked all over and have not found it. The link in the annotation does nothing at this time. Hope to see part 2 soon.
What lens do you recommend for shooting cars and a short, medium, and long distance?
I've been shooting for years off and on.... a 60D is one helluva starter camera, it is Canon's highest non full-frame offering.
70d or 7d is better than 60d...
Nominally.... to the naked eye the video differences are more dependent on skill and glass I find..... The 7D is no better on video, but does have better focus abilities, and the 70D of course just replaced the 60D so it had better be better I might get one of those for the AF possibilities :)

STILL NO PART 2 ?
its 2019 now still no part 2 xD
'C' mode is custom mode. It's where you access your saved favourite shooting mode settings from other shoot modes, like Tv, P, and Av after you've saved your settings, I believe.
@vanea95 thanks
Thanks for the vid man. I found it really helpful. Had this camera for some time and you made it easy to figure out. I'm going to watch your part 2.... and read the manual :)
@MandrakeCigars i couldnt do the whole video that way lol.
When is video #2 coming out?!
@Jaredpolin hi, where did u get your shirt man. It's so cool!
@JaredPolin C mode is a user mode... it means you can program all the settings to what ever you want and quickly go to them.
example: if your at a concert or something and the lights make a big change you can quickly go to this C mode and not have to try to quickly change ISO, or aperture.
Hello Sir Can you till witch lens you using :)
@bkhorshidian thanks for your support it really means a lot.
id like to see a canon 7d review from you jared
when is video number 2 coming? I am past looking at the pictures on the dial...
how is battery life? and how about storage endurance do you need to recharge every few days or can you let it sit for a month and still have juice to shoot?
I like your caption pictures at the top right... would help if you circle/highlight the buttons you're talking about, especially when there are multiple buttons in the pictures

i love your chair..can you tell me what it is/bought from? :P tnx
@TheDigitalPhotograph Yup I really don't like the auto mode cuz its usually darker even with the flash out. I'm still trying to figure out the stuff you mentioned. Maybe some fine day I'll master it =)
Love the video...where is part 2!!!!
I use the articulated screen a lot. Low shots like plants and small animals, high shots over crowds and shooting from the hip. Child height.
Also the button with the star lets you lock the exposure, very good for panoramic photos
i love this guy, he explain it very simple, with his words, very good for a beginner like me, thanks
The 60D is larger and heavier than the T2i but smaller and lighter than the 7D. It is a very nice size, weight, feel, and design that should be comfortable for most users.
I got it on: #amzn.to/1c5b7js
which lens kit is better 18-55mm or 18-135 for a beginer photographer? plese suggest me..
hey jared ! nice tutorial for the beginners out there...
but i spotted one small mistake haha
when you put the lens back on, you said "you line the white dot with the red dot"... the white dot is only for the EF-S lenses, the red dot is only for the EF lenses... so you need to line up the white dot on the body with the white dot on the lens or the red dot with the red dot ;-)
great video love the afro and the shirt thanks for the 60D help
Great video Jared! I still prefer the Nikons, but if I were to buy a Cannon this would be the one. And I didn't know that a triangle could be sideways. Haha =)
which lens would you suggest? the 55-300 or 70 300mm one!! why for both canon and nikon>>
should i go for a two week program of directing school for 1.600 or should i buy this camera
I have the T2i / 550D but now think I should have gotten this 60D as it as the built in wireless flash triggering for off camera flash, and of course the swivel screen
ok .... What Camera r u using for recording this ?
When changing the lens you have to line the white dot with the WHITE dot of the lens and if the lens hace no white dot, you have to line the red dot with the RED dot of the camera ;)
hello can you tell me what camera you made this video
@JaredPolin Where' part 2 of the 60D review with your setup info you mentioned in the 1st video
I didnt read all comments, so I dont know if someone said anything about AF-On. I think it is a nice thing if u dont want to measure focus and light for every shot u can lock it by pressing AF-ON and than just focus on framing. I dont use it often, but it can come handy when u need it.
C mode is Camera User Settings mode which you can save as in menu on some non-auto dial settings.
I’m in a photography class and they gave us these cameras thanks for the information
@tresflip shutter speed can be changed with the shutter wheel near the shutter release button
This is an awesome tutorial for dummys like me, thanks FROKNOWSPHOTO!!!!!
it is a blue yetti
i usually always use live mode, because i always wear moisturizer and when i use the view finder, my freaking face gets the lcd screen all nasty. yeah.. :(
jared, how to choose video quality of 1080p@30fps?? i couldn't find it inside the menu.. please help... thanks
nice video btw..:)
Love the Contra reference
thank you jared just bought my canon 60d this helped a lot
Do you sell the I shoot Raw t Shirts? Looks cool!
@9:02 - the checkerboard button on the back side next to the + / - buttons is for when reviewing pix, you can see 1 at a time, or 9 at a time or page at a time so you can then quickly scroll thru pix by pix or page by page to get to the ones you want to review/play.
@JaredPolin in the C mode you can create a preset, e.g. containing a specific shutter speed, aperture and ISO, but also different focus modes, exposure metering and so on...
more infos about that button should be in the users manual on page 262 (at least it is at that page in the german version)

Where is the second part to this video. Really want to see it
which one is better canon 60d or 650d? thanks!
I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! PARTY ROCK!
@JaredPolin im with u i work hard for my cannon 60D it took me 5 month to get it making money in thiferent things and if i lost my camera i would cry like a baby, so plz try to do the correct thanks.
When i wanna do burst mode, do i just use M or is there another setting for that?
what mic do u use?
star/snowflakesign on back upper right corner is for "Auto Expose Lock" -function (working in creative mode, other than "M") where you can lock your AE for something bright and then take a pic of something dark or vice versa.
wich program you use to edit pics or videos
@JaredPolin i own a nikon d200, i had the option of getting a canon 60d do you think i made the right choice?
PS im happy with my nikon, its uplgarded from a canon 30D but wondering what your opinion on my choice is
