If you liked this video let me know in the comments below. It really helps me grow this channel and it let's me know that you want to see more videos like this. Thanks for watching. I've got a lot more EOS R5 content on the channel and blog.
Mannnnn, you should be over 100,000 subscribers. Your videos are some of the best I have watched. I am learning a lot. I just got my camera 2 days ago. You are very articulate and know your ish. Keep up the good work.
Thank you appreciate it. I wish the algorithm felt the same way. It’s been a grind growing the channel. But either way I’m happy you’ve been enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel and congrats on your new camera. You’re going to love shooting with it.
Thanks for tutorial. Very informative. Just couple of notes: For a newbie trying to change settings it would be useful to show how to change photo mode to video mode. And the best would be to have two separate tutorials - one for photo, another for video.
Thanks for the video! I have been shooting with my Canon 7D since 2013. I am finally moving to Mirrorless, and my R5 is being delivered today!!! I AM SO PUMPED!
Nice I'm so excited for you. It's such an awesome camera. It really is a flagship capable camera without the flagship price. Welcome to the channel if it's your first time here. I have a bunch more helpful R5 content posted.
Maybe one day! Fingers crossed. I hear that a lot. I have no idea why the algorithm hasn't taken my channel and run with it yet. Glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome to the channel.
The R5 is fantastic you’ll love shooting with it. Glad you liked the video. Welcome to the channel. I have a bunch more R5 tips and tricks videos come check them out when you get your camera.
I shoot in very dark scenarios and am scared to put iso and shutter speed range limitations incase I do need to use some crazy settings just to capture a moment despite how grainy it might be
That’s cool. In the end you have to set up your tools to work best for your shooting situation. Sounds like you got a pretty good idea of what you need. Thanks for the comment.
Great tutorial but one question which you sort of covered. I am looking to upgrade to the R5 and as a photographer I have a habit of changing lenses lol so does the R5 automactially close the sensor when you remove a lens or do you have to turn it off change the lens and then power back on. When I was researching the R it did this which for me would be a great feature for a lens changer like me. Came across your channel a couple of days ago love all the content as you get right into expaining things and one can tell that you really love photography. Cheers
Hey thanks for the comment. Glad you’re enjoying the content. Welcome to the channel. Yes you have to turn the camera off first then the shutter comes down. The shutter down option is in the menu settings. It’s been so long since I got the R5 I don’t remember if it’s on by default or if you have to activate it. It’s a really handy feature. I wish all cameras had it.
Very good video. You have posted many settings videos. They are great. Can you share your CSD files with these settings without your name and copyright info? That would be great.
Thanks for the comment appreciated. I've never thought about sharing my CSD files. That could be interesting. I'm always changing my settings depending on what i'm shooting so I guess I would have to make a few different files.
Thanks! To disable the exposure simulation mode hadn’t landed to me before when using studio flashes 🤪. Do you experience difference in color shift between LCD and viewfinder? I know there is a setting to adjust this but it’s not compensating the color well.
Hey thanks for the the comment. Glad you liked the video. Yes I do notice a difference between the LCD and EVF. It kinds bothered me years ago but now I don't even notice it anymore. I don't see it as a big deal. I know what the Canon colors look like so I'm really only looking at the LCD/EVF for exposure and composition. When I do shoot with more than one camera I'll dial in the color temp manually to ensure both cameras look the same.
It's great. Overheating issue is pretty much gone. Just turn on Standby Low res mode and set Auto Pwer Off Temp to High and you can record for a long time before the camera overheats. Obviously it will eventually overheat but it takes an hour or so depending on your environment and it also cools down much faster.
yup. Formatting a card means erasing all the info on the card. For saving settings I would I would buy an old 2 gig card off ebay and use that to store settings.
@@vaskoobscura_ Great info! Can you explain how to get the settings you save (on an old card) from that card to the camera, so they're not back up and saved on camera? Then you take it out and shoot with new card?
I would only turn off Exo Sim if i'm shooting with studio strobes. I usually leave it on when shooting with a flash using TTL outdoors. In your situation for night shoots if you're not shooting with stobes leave EXP Sim on.
So the R5 has no presets? I have to put the settings on a card and then input the card to recall those settings? Hoping the R5ii allows presets so with just a click u can switch between my settings for landscape and surf photography
It does have presets. C1, C2 and C3. There are three custom settings for photo and 3 for video that can be saved in camera. And you can also save your settings to a card as well if you like. I have a video about that here. ua-cam.com/video/tHlItW0W9bw/v-deo.html
@@vaskoobscura_ oh ok! Thank you! Yeah I want presets for surf photography etc that I can just take out of my bag, click the preset and I’m good to go. Your videos are very helpful thank you!
Canon sensors work the same way as ALL other contemporary sensors: At the time of shooting, set exposure to preserve highlight detail; recover shadow detail during post processing.
Yes and no. Yes they work just like all other sensors in theory but they are made differently. All other camera brands, Nikon, Leica, Fuji, Lumix etc all use Sony sensors and they all work the same way with the exception of the Xtrans which has different pixel layout. Canon is the only camera brand that makes their own sensors and as a result they behave slightly differently. For example Sony sensors have dynamic range on the over exposed side and underexposed side of the image. Canon sensors have very little dynamic range on the overexposed side of an image but have a lot of dynamic range in the underexposed side of an image. I'm oversimplifying the explanation. You can google it if you want to find more info on it. :)
I've owned and used Canon, Lumix (Panasonic), Nikon and Sony. The technique for determining optimal exposure is the same for each (assuming you're not adding light but are working with available light): Use the histogram (or spot meter, if you're using a DSLR) to avoid clipping important highlights, then recover as much shadow information as possible, based on the dynamic range of your sensor and tolerance for noise. Sony sensors tend to fare better because-all other things being equal as practical-they tend to have greater dynamic range. Canon traditionally has brought up the rear in regards to usable dynamic range, in part because they make their own sensors and have been slow to keep up with sensor tech (got to get maximum usage out of those established technologies when you run the fab, you know)! Not that it matters much given how few of us do work that presents a serious technical challenge for even yesterday's best tech. 😀@@vaskoobscura_
I got a whole video dedicated to that including some tricks to switch between photo and video mode fast. check it out ua-cam.com/video/U-wcgIa7Vg0/v-deo.htmlsi=tm9tZEXuFZEGjIix

Me to bro
You answered three questions I've had since getting my R5. Thanks, man.
I'm glad I could help! :) Thank you for the comment.
Great video as usual... very helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate the comment.
I’m subbing. To be fair I’m new to photography, but first minute and I just learned you can put copyright info on a photo
Great content! The tip on video-photo Mf-n mode was awesome
Glad it helpful. Appreciate the comment.

@@vaskoobscura_ I agree, that’s the right attitude, not to get stuck in small less important things.
Hey man honest question with the latest firmware how does the camera do with overheating when shooting 4k all I or HQ ? Or even raw without a monitor
It's great. Overheating issue is pretty much gone. Just turn on Standby Low res mode and set Auto Pwer Off Temp to High and you can record for a long time before the camera overheats. Obviously it will eventually overheat but it takes an hour or so depending on your environment and it also cools down much faster.
In the bonus tip, if you format the card that has the saved .CSD settings, will they be erased along with any photos and/or videos on the card?
yup. Formatting a card means erasing all the info on the card. For saving settings I would I would buy an old 2 gig card off ebay and use that to store settings.
@@vaskoobscura_ Great info! Can you explain how to get the settings you save (on an old card) from that card to the camera, so they're not back up and saved on camera? Then you take it out and shoot with new card?
re: nite street photos, would you have Expo sim off? or leave on Enable? thank you Jim
I would only turn off Exo Sim if i'm shooting with studio strobes. I usually leave it on when shooting with a flash using TTL outdoors.
In your situation for night shoots if you're not shooting with stobes leave EXP Sim on.
I love this R5 video I have an R5 I sleep with it😂😂😂😂
hahahahaha. I don't know if it will keep you warm at night but it sure is a fun camera. Thanks for the comment. Welcome to the channel.
Why you use D+ or even D2+? Does it affect RAW?
Yes Highlight Tone Priority affects raw images. It preserves details in the highlights and gives you more dynamic range.
@@vaskoobscura_and do you still shoot underexposed then?
So the R5 has no presets? I have to put the settings on a card and then input the card to recall those settings? Hoping the R5ii allows presets so with just a click u can switch between my settings for landscape and surf photography

How do you check on your work
I don’t understand what do you mean how do I check on what work?
