Thank you, John. I especially appreciate your patience in taking it slow and explaining the settings you recommend.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this video. I am new to shooting video, so setting up the R5 for video was daunting, since I am only just learning what all those settings mean. Thanks for not just spewing out settings, but patiently explaining each one as you worked your way through them. Just 4 hours ago I started learning about Canon Log and using LUTs in Premiere. I guessed as settings for Canon Log in the R5. You video confirmed my choices, and helped me understand them better.
Thank you so much Art! It’s great to hear 😊😊😊. I had someone like you in mind when I made the video. While previous stills cameras had video features, I think this is the first canon camera that had all of these bells and whistles. Enjoy! 🙏🏼
Thank you John,
Very clear and concise. I am a total beginner who is looking to pivot and create workout videos (former personal trainer before Covid struck), and this really helps explain a lot of the set up for me.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Denzil! Best of luck with your new adventure.
Today i had the pleasure to learn a few things, watching yo r calm and precise video on video settings. Then i stumbled (a unfriendly) over a comment about your presentation style.. as a swiss non english speaking guy, your calm and patient stile helps me understanding it much better, then eg. speedy gonzales Jared P. Even with your paste, i do have to stop, go back and see exactly what and how you set parameters. One 'trap i got into' was after setting 4K HQ mode 'enable' all record sizes except 4k where gone.. and i searched and searched.. then your video got me out of that .. not all your audience is from NY some are from switzerland. and we are a bit slow....
Ha! Thanks Arthur. I really appreciate it. I seem to get that one or stop moving you hands!!I think I have also had a few Americans thank me for not spitting out info as we would say at a-mile-a-minute. You might say 100km/hr =) Often times I am worried I am going to say something accidentally say something unture because I am moving too fast. I am glad that HQ part helped you. I'm not sure why they set up the menus like that, it should have just been an option on the 4K line. Same think goes for 120. Why do I have to enable it. It should just be there.
Thank you for this excellent presentation. You are a fine teacher, and for sure, also a gifted photographer and filmmaker.
Wow, thank you!
The best video settings walk thru on UA-cam!!! Great vid! Keep it up 👍
Thank you so much!
Some real gold nuggets of information here. Thanks for the assist!
Happy to help! Thanks!
You answered one of my biggest questions in the first 2 minutes of this video and I was searching forever! Thank you!!! I 'm not even done watching but so sooo helpful! I'm new to this series of Canons and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to setup up video mode!
That is so great to hear! I wish pushing the red button would take you to Manual exposure video mode.
John Gress if you have any resources for editing tips, that would be so helpful! Now I’ve shot a few clips and I can’t seem to get them into FCP 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Oh no! I didn’t shoot raw but my 5k imported easily. Editing c200 raw in FCPX required a plug-in from Canon. Maybe in on the camera support page?
Thank you so much! I am not a videographer, but I want to start short videos with my stills. Your teaching skills are great, clear, concise and informative! I subscribed, and looking forward to your next video!
That’s so great to hear! I made this video with someone like you in mined because I figured a lot of photographers might be ready to try video with this camera. Thanks for your note a d Ttys!
Hi many thanks for your comprehensive tutorial on the R5 setting for both Still and Video. I have recently upgraded Ito the R5 having been using the 5D mk4 for many years. I look forward to watching many more, Cliff - Photographer, Dublin, Ireland
Thanks Cliff! I was thinking about guys like us when I made the video. I hope you're enjoying the R5!
Thank you for the EXCELLENT video. I think you explain everything so beautifully! Your voice is soothing and calm. You give me confidence to believe in my self. Thank you :)
Awww thank you so much! Enjoy shooting with your new camera. =)
Thank you for doing this, so very helpful!
You are so welcome! Thanks!
Thumbs up. I found the IS section and power section Very helpful. Thank you
That’s great! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much John,
its a fine detail and helpful video.
thanks again.
Thanks. Glad it helped!
Some people go so quickly through the set up that I can't keep up. You are always so calm and detailed in your explanation of things. Thankyou so much.
Thanks Kathy! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the video, John.
I still couldn't find out if recording in 4k (e.g. 60fps) RAW is working?
Or is it possible with the latest update?
Thank you in advance!
John - this is sooo helpful. Thank you!
That is great to hear! Thanks!
I am wanting to use the Video mode to capture lightning shots so really needed the 4k. Great, Thanks! This gets me there with more control on other aspects as well....
Great to hear!
Thank you, John! I really needed this R5 guidance. I am shooting video tomorrow morning in Downtown Los Angeles to prepare a presentation reel for my freelance services and website.
Awesome! Good luck Victor!
Subscribed!! Thank you for the video.. got my r5 the other day.. still haven't tried video! But this helps and gives me insite a little better :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Bravo. Very clear and professional.
Thank you so much!
thanks for mentioning the power savings at the end. I completely forgot and probably would have had it power down on my shoot tomorrow.
Thank you! Happy shooting.
Awesome, just what I was looking for.
Great to hear! Thanks!!
We'll see how these work for me. Thanks for the tips!
You bet! Thanks!
Perfect info as always. I'm creating more videos now and I know you'd have the information I needed. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
very helpful. thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Most useful vid I found
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Love it 🖤
Thanks!!
Excellent thanks (moving from 5d4 to R5) :)
Thanks and congratulations! I am sure you will love it!
Thanks a lot John, it's greatly useful & appreciated 😉 What about setting your manual white balance when film making ? Do you do that ?? Thanks again 🙏
Thanks! Yes, absolutely. You should in general set your white balance to match the conditions you are shooting in.
This is incredibly good for helping me, the still photographer, to break into video shooting with this fabulous camera. Thanks for mentioning occasional shooting with RAW and 8k.... Just how much better is shooting in this higher quality? Would it mean that a still frame would be closer to shooting in still frame mode?
That is great to hear. Thank you so much Kenneth! 4k HQ (fine) is like the lest compressed jpeg. It's sharp and you can color correct it, but you can't push it around too much. RAW video is just like RAW stills.
Amazing... I’ll try it out and will be amazing if I can shoot high speed subjects with this ‘higher frame rate’ and get just the right moment of capture in the action. Is there any control over shutter speed when using video for this purpose? I’d like to set it to 1/2000 sec. or higher.
Hi John,
Thanks so much for this! Which of these video resolution settings offer 10 bit color? Does 4K HQ at 30FPS offer this? Or is it only 8K and 4K 120FPS? Happy New Year!
After reading the manual, which is quite confusing, It appears that as long as you are shooting 8K or 4K in a log setting, not in H/264, and not a time lapse, to the CFexpress card that you will get 10-bit. However, I am unclear if this is true for HD.
Well done.
Thank you so much!
Good stuff man! Thank you for your hard work! 🙌🏻
My pleasure! Thank you so much!
thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thank you very much John ! That helps - do you have any tips for the right LUT- I just downloaded the ones for R5 from Canon but it is really confusing, to many to choose the right one.
Thanks Dirk. Wide DR is sort of like Neutral for photos, its ads contrast and saturation and isn't as pronounced as standard, which is similar to Rec709. I hope this helps.
@@JohnGress Thanks John, I will check that out. It is really amazing how many different Luts are in the R5 download with really no explanation 😂
Thanks for the video, I have a question. How do I set the movie record button default to shoot in C1 settings.
Thanks. Sorry I don't know, but I remember seeing it in the manual .
Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
You're so welcome 😊
thanks a lot !
Thank you!
Great video John, thank you.
In a nutshell, if you want to record video that saves as MP4 or MOV what are the core settings to adjust?
Thanks! As long as you arent shooting RAW you are shooting mp4 or MOV.
@@JohnGress Can you suggest Movie Quality settings to save as MOV? I seem to only get MP4. Many thanks
I am not sure if it can shoot mov, but I would try turning Log off and see what happens.
Super helpful thank you! Do you know of a way to get a true clean HDMI out with autofocus while streaming? When I have HDMI out to an Elgato HD60S+ the targeting reticle/box still shows up on the HDMI out feed when using autofocus. I can’t find an answer to that anywhere.
Thanks! I just checked my cameras and they are set up as I mentioned in the video so the menus are displayed on the hdmi signal and I can confirm that there is nothing on the feed other than the menus.
@@JohnGress thank you! You are exactly right. I went back from scratch and followed your video and it worked for me. Not sure what I did wrong BUT YOU ARE THE MAN! Thanks!
Great vid John!
Can't playback with these settings on my MacBook Pro tho. I don't know if that's because of 10 bit footage or not. I have had 4k footages from other cameras working just fine. Only the R5 footage is extremely jittery. Is it time to upgrade? Lol.
Thanks! The codec that Canon used for this footage can't be played natively by your computer and requires editing in a program like Final Cut, Da Vinci Resolve or Premiere.
@@JohnGress
It’s still dropping a lot of ftames on premier pro even on 1/16. I made proxies to work on and once I add the warp stabilization effect it drops frames intensely again. The system that I use is a macbook pro 2016 Core i7 16GB Memory DDR3. Do you think I need to upgrade?
Thanks for this. Is it possible to do simultaneous video recording in 4k and 1080 to sd?
It sounds like the camera is only set up to record 4K proxy files while shooting 8K RAW ua-cam.com/video/q0N93S1eE7c/v-deo.html
Thank you John! I have a question though that I can't seem to find the answer to: What do I have to do to be able to shoot 120fps in 4K? I'm only able to shoot 100fps.. I have the latest firmware update 1.2.0. Thanks
Thank you. I believe this is why. If you are not in the US your camera is likely set to PAL and that is the reason why. To have access to 120 you would need to switch it to NTSC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL
Great video THANK YOU. I have a question, what is the best video setting for someone who only post on FB. Everyday video setting that the files are not HUGE. Shot some videos and they are 60 MB. Can you help!!! Thanks you. George
Probably 1080p 30p. But 60mp isn't that big for video.
whats the highest setting I can upload to fb w o editing?
Thanks for this video. You should do voice overs. That voice!
Now I have to figure out what exactly is external recording and how to do that. Cheers!
Thank you so much! Perhaps search "R5 Atomos" and go from there.
@@JohnGress okay, thanks! :)
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks!
@@JohnGress ua-cam.com/video/0OhOhyfxv28/v-deo.html
Thank you for this, my R5's video capability is completely wasted on me. but I'm trying to do better. Now I just need to figure out how to actually edit the video I record and I'll be set
Thanks! That is the next hurdle, but you can do it! If you want to get your feet wet with imovie, I don't think it can handle 24 or 23.98 FPS video so I would shoot in 30P (29.97).
John, Like you I mainly shoot stills with the R5, but very occasionally I do video work. Could you explain why you shoot 24p instead of 30p?
Hi Jack, 24p is quality to the frame rate for movies and will have a different feel from 30p, which is more related to television. It wont be a big difference, but it might change the feeling for some viewers.
@@JohnGress Thanks John. I'll be shooting some video Friday which may/may not be used for PR on a local TV station, so I'll use 30p. That's what I needed to know.
Sure thing! Best of luck!
any plans to do this for the canon r5c? Asking for a friend
;) Sorry, no plans.
I have a quick question. I just filmed an event and used my video on the R5 the first time. I recorded at the $120 frames per second and when I uploaded it to my video timeline for editing and exporting my timeline is going to be exported at 24 frames a second. For some reason it tells me that all my R5 footage that was recorded at 120 frames a second is now converted to 30 frames per second. Can you tell me why that is and how I can stop that? Thank you for the help
Sorry I don’t have experience using the camera on 120.
i have recently shifted from 5Dmarkiii to Canon R5C i did back to back interview testimonial videos for 8 hours is there a way to mark the video in camera or rate them while recording those videos. how does it work in R5 do you get option of marking?
I’ve seen this in an atomos but I don’t recall seeing it in the R5. .
Hi! The rec button for vídeo while you are in M mode for photo, it's default in C3 vídeo mode, which it doesn't let you change parameters. Is there any option to change that into Manula mode for vídeo. Somtimes you may need start recording while you are taking pictures (for example in the middle of a wedding to help your partner) and would be nice not ending into a C3 automatic video mode.
Sorry, I was trying to figure out how to do that my self and never figured it out.
@@JohnGress thanks for the answer. I think I got it. Doing what he says on the video allows to change iso, aperture, and speed at least: ua-cam.com/video/CPfyGwGewLQ/v-deo.html
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
does it overheat that way
Thanks! Couldn't believe how Canon have video mode so hidden / tucked away. They need to have it to be able to be on 'standby' mode with one button press. You can switch from Stills to Movie by customising the M-Fn button - but don't allow you to customise any other button to do this (which is strange) Be good to be able to customise the red top 'record' button for this...
Thanks! Yes, the two button illogical move is a poor design.
If you click the red record button, it switches from Stills mode to Movie C3 mode instantly. Or, you can customize a button to switch modes.
Its a pretty flexible camera
With all-I I get 34mins record time, with Ipb I get over 2 hours. Is quality that noticeable to lose out of 90 mins?
I can not see 60 or 120fps options for any mode? Why? Ef-rf adapter or sad 170mbits too slow?
In video mode go to menu Camera 1 > high frame rate > enable
couldnt find how to get to video mode an you got to it 50sec in, thanks 😅
Glad I could help! Yeah its not intuitive... regular mode, not mode plus info, would have made more sense.
Please tell does EOS R5 shoots 1080p in 10 bit 4:2:2?
After looking through the manual it appears the answer is yes, but you have to use C-Log.
Would you have any idea why my IS model only shows digital IS on canon r5 and not IS mode and focal length option?
Perhaps the IS is turned off on the lens?
@@JohnGress using 24-70 f2.8 with IS turned on
How did you get movie rec quality in menu2
Once you are in video mode, Movie Record Quality is in Shoot 1.
Please guide..How to shoot 10 bit 4:2: 2 video footage on Canon R5? does it shoot 10 bit 4:2: 2 only in C-Log? DO it has to be ALL-I or IPB to get 10 bit 4:2: 2?
It has to be LOG and it has to record to the CFExpress Card. I am not sure about All I or IPB.
Hi am using my camera for videos in the factory setting. how to set it for 1080 thanks
You would select FHD on the menu the same place in the video where I am setting it to 4k. ua-cam.com/video/Q7bGPX9A1bY/v-deo.html
@@JohnGress Thanks
How do you adjust the sound?

Hi John, how come I do not have Canon log? thanks G
Are you in video mode?
Is all-i and .mp4? Is 4K HQ .h265?
I believe the camera switches into h.265 when you use the log settings.
One thing o noticed, my R5, 'talking' german to me, does not show fps, it shows transmission rate ..(maybe that is also somewhere a parameter to set .. 4K HQ Mode shows not 120 it tells me e transfer rate of 100 (b/sec?)
I think your options under 4K if you have your video system (yellow 2) set to PAL should be 50 or 25, and instead of 120 you should have 100. Just like the metric system yours makes sense. Why do we in NTSC have 24, 30, 60 and 120.
I've been looking all over the internet and I can't find the answer.
Can this camera do 4k video in H.264 format? H.265 is useless to me with my current computer.
I don’t think so.
@@JohnGress son of a...
What camera is a 6D user like myself supposed to upgrade to if I don't have the budget for a better PC too?
Did you ever confirm if it was better to set the Color Matrix to Neutral or leave it at Cinema EOS?
I think Neutral is correct. cinema Eos was meant I think to match the 1DC
@@JohnGress Thank you.
Helpful!
Thank you so much!
Hi! I just received my R5 and my options are different. I dont have 23.98 or 120 high frsme rate? Do you happen to know why? I am using an UHS-I Sd, is that why? Can i only shoot higher quality with cfexpress? Thank you
It's likely that you need to switch the Video System in menu> Set up2 >screen 2, from Pal To NTSC. You will likely want to use the system that matches to your location. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC
@@JohnGress That was indeed the issue! I am in the UK, is it a problem if I use NTSC?
It could be an issue. It's probably best to use PAL, 25p and 100p.
@@JohnGress thanks so much for your info! why would it be an issue though, out of curiosity? Also if I use PAL I don't have 8k options, is that normal?
Oh, I didn't know that about the 8k. I think the general concern is how it may look on screens in the UK since they referesh at 50 times per second so 24p may look odd. I'm not 10% sure about this.
If u shoot video on FHD does R5 has problem whit overheating?
No.
@@JohnGress thank u
Canon R5 does not beep when pressing record! am I missing something on the setting?
I don't recall a canon DSLR or C series camera which I have owned doing this.
@@JohnGress when I press record on the canon, it doesn’t make a confirmation beep like the sony does. This has led to a couple shots where I thought I hit record, but must not have pressed it hard enough. I’m now checking every time that the record icon shows on the screen, but it’d be nice to have a sound confirmation.
so when i put settings to 4kD 59.94P ALL-I it says record SD Card rec. not avail.....
The highest quality recordings or formats that record large files basically, have to be written to the CFexpress card.
@@JohnGress dang...time to spend that $

I have got Canon EOS R5. My video system is set to PAL, I come from India. I am planning to record a video with FHD(1920x1080)
Unfortunately I do not get option to set my frame rate to 23.98. Also when I try to set to closest available 24, I get a message “these items can not be combined”.
Question : How can I set my frame rate to 23.98P in PAL video system?
Note : If I change the video system to NTSC, I get an option to set the frame rate to 23.98P. But that will result into light flicker in video.
Pal frame rates are normally 25p and 50p
if you have flicker try to boost shutter speed to next available setting or less。 for example if you record 23.98 than your shutter speed is 50fps，try 60 or 40
remember to add room tone back in when you kill your mic track
Thanks, lately I have been doing that or been less aggressive.
When I go to the menu it says “image quality” instead of “movie rec size”
I think you’re in stills mode. Try pressing mode> info > set
is it just me or was there no talking about the audio settings?
I didn't even think about addressing that because I don't record real audio with the camera. Sorry.
You talk about a lot of important topics in the video production space! We like what you do, keep going. Anytime you're in Scottsdale hit us up. If you want, DM us @dmakproductions on IG and we can chat. You do really great work.
Thank you so much! You do great work too! When I saw one of your videos with Michael O'Neill, I thought who is that guy? Isn't he a secret service agent?
@johngressmedia on IG
im surprised that complete beginners are buying the r5.
I am also. I have seen posts in some forums by people that have never had any camera before except their phone camera. This is not an easy camera to master the settings on - had mine for a week before I really got everything set to where I really want.
Please guide..How to shoot 10 bit 4:2: 2 video footage on Canon R5? does it shoot 10 bit 4:2: 2 only in C-Log? DO it has to be ALL-I or IPB to get 10 bit 4:2: 2?
It has to be LOG and it has to record to the CFExpress Card. I am not sure about All I or IPB.
