Good Quality Video, well thought out. However as an event photographer, the biggest upgrade in the R6 / R6 mkii is the Touch Screen Function of "Touch & Drag AF Settings: in [AF4 for mkii] and AF1 in original R6]. This allows you to have your screen folded back on to your camera and use your right thumb in either 'Relative' or 'Absolute' values....I keep mine on 'Relative'. Through the EVF you will now see an orange colored football that will move to any place you move your thumb... it is easily 2x fast as the joystick. AND as many people found out, the joystick became a weakpart and worn quickly in the original R6. Give it a Shot, you might like it much better!
Amazing feedback William, I really appreciate it. I will try Touch and Drag AF for a while and make a video about it. For some reason it didn't stick the first time I tried it, but on the other hand I was even more of a beginner than I'm now, so might have been to soon. Thank you for sharing, I love it. Anything else you think I should try?
Thanks so much. Found this super helpful and it inspired me to go down a rabbithole and watch a bunch of your other videos! You explain things great!
Side note, all the sudden, after changing a bunch of my custom buttons to reflect your suggestions, my shutter button stopped working- yikes! I tried changing them back one at a time to see if it fixed anything (along with all the usual attempted solutions- power on/off, remove battery, etc) so I'm assuming it's unrelated to these customizations, and just a coincidence that I'm encountering this issue at the same time, but thought I'd check to see if you had any ideas what may have happened to cause my shutter button to suddenly stop working!??
I’m sorry to hear about your problems. I would double check that you have shutter on your button.
If so, activate touch shutter on LCD to test shutter.
If you can take photos witch touch, then a setting or faulty button
If you can’t take photos, it might be a shutter issue. Test to remove lens and reattach. Sometimes electronics can cause shutter to get stuck
Hey Per,
concerning the fith fonction (C1, C2, C3), is it possible to save video modes in order to switch between them ? Thx
Not on the R6 (R5 has it). The R6m2 has support for it, making it a coin toss if they will add that to the m1 with firmware.
Love your info, thanks so much. What is the purpose of cage around your camera?
Thank you 🙏❤️ Cage is two parts. Primary it’s for mounting points. Cage makes it possible to rig a camera (video in the making). A side effect is that it also protects the camera a little better
Downside is added weight and size
pew, a very long video for five tips. It would be better to show the tips in the timeline. So that you can get idea what funktions you were describing ;)
Nice feedback, I’ll do better in the future
Btw you can keep your eye to the viewfinder and move the af point using the lcd !
Thx for that 👍
Canon shooter since long, did not know about ‘recall function’ (rtfm I know😊). Great function!
I learned from another UA-camr ☺️ You got any treasure setting to share?
Great content as always. Useful and entertaining. Thanks!
Thank you very much my friend 🙏🧡
This is such a powerful video. I need to customize my top dial for ISO because my finger automatically goes there to add light and Im currently unintentionally impacting my shutter speed while shooting cityscapes and travel photography- ouch
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ Makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. Let me know if there’s anything you want me to cover in a future video
Tnk U
Thank you 🙏
Some great tips! Dig the idea of using the scroll wheel for moving the focus point 🙌
Thx m8 🙏 The joystick also has center AF on click, so makes it fast and reliable. In crowds I sometimes force move auto AF with it 🎥
Wonderful video but it’s oh, oh, so complicated! I’ll try… thank you!
Thank you very much Elisabeth. I think that it is important not to forget why we do this. Often for the love of taking photos or making videos. Which can be fueled by the need to document and tell a story. Technical theory is good to keep practice, but story and feeling always comes first :) Anything of those 5 things or other things you would like me to cover more in-depth?
Very nice and clear. Having used the R6 for a year as well I initially tried to program lots of different settings following others. I eventually stuck with a set but then found as I learned my shooting style more I would make tweeks to my custom settings. My setup is very similar to your apart from I use the DoF button to swap from one-shot to servo and have the third button on the back (metering) set to my recall settings. Once nice thing you can do is setup different custom buttons for each of the C1,2,3 presets.
I love the thought about custom buttons on C1, C2, C3. It's so easy to forget how dynamic the camera can become using the C-buttons. Nice input. I might make a new video about this. Thx m8
Hi!, nice video. loved the details on how to make shooting easier.
now what is your opinion on assigning recall shooting function to AF point selection button next to * button instead of depth of field button.
Thank you 🧡🙏 I like it. If not using DoF button, that's where I would put it. If you just want to test it, program both and save to C1 and C2. Makes it easy to test different setups. I got a Custom Shooting mode video just released that might be helpful
Hi! Is there a way to use manual exposure in video mode when saving the custom settings (C1, C2, C3)? Even my 80D can do that but for some reason I can't seem to be able to save video settings (like frame rate, shutter speed and iso combinations) in the custom modes, only for photos.
You cant save any video settings to the R6 in Custom shooting modes (C1-3) unfortunately. That is available in the R5, but not R6 sadly. Only photography modes/settings.
very nice tips & easy to understand! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you 🙏
Nice vid thanks, what brand is your camera cage?
Thank you very much 🙏 8sinn. I love them. Amazing quality and a great gang. Use it for all cameras.
Hey Per, which cage are you using for your R6? Thanks
Now, 8sinn. Amazing quality. Got 8sinn full rig. Video on the way actually. First Smallrig, then Tilta, now 8sinn. Just next level
I use C3 as main manual mode since its near video mode.
That’s smart!
Direct AF Point just saved my life.
Oh, curious. Please tell 👍
Thanks, very useful
Tyvm 👍
Good stuff. Thanks for the tips. 👍👍
Thank you very much Sean, I'm glad you liked it. Got any wishes for a future video?
tack för tipsen :)
ha en trevlig helg!
The same to you and thank you 🙏🧡
Good advices. Thanks for your video guides. Cheers!
I'm so glad you like it and thank you very much for your kind words. What camera is your tool if I may ask?
@@persvanstrom Canon R6... that's why YT has led me to you :)
@@nowakgrzegorz I'm glad it did
I used to own the 500D, 6D and a lot of the 5D and 1D series but I love my R6. I don't think it has disadvantages.
I agree. Just got a 2nd R6. Love them. How are you using yours? Much video work
@@persvanstrom No, no video work at all. I photograph nearly everything apart from sports, from concerts, weddings, dogshows to landscapes, nature, macro, old buildings, amateur models ...
@@wanneske1969 cool
@@persvanstrom I still use my EF-lenses (15 !) with the adaptor. grts
@@wanneske1969 15!? wtf :) I use only EF as well, but so curious about going RF.
Great tips I’m still trying to pull the trigger to get one 😂
I love mine, amazing camera, Which camera are you using now?
@@persvanstrom EOS R
@@Fifthimagez That's a nice cam and R6 would be a huge upgrade. It only have 2 real cons and 2 small aspects I don't like. Maybe make a vid about that? 😊
Thanks!
Welcome!
👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
I hate that you have to hold the button down for the eye auto focus. I wish I could just toggle between eye auto focus and spot focus, without having to hold down a button or turn off capability of other focus modes
I can feel that and it would definitely rock
You can do that by switich continuous af setting. The downside is battery will drain faster
@@EdBareff but you still can’t toggle quickly back and forth.
@@danidah yes you can. you can choose which AF modes are available in the menu. and then I map this to the top back right button (next to the star button). easy access to toggle between the two you want and then just keep it in continuous AF in the menu and you've got exactly what you asked for
@@adamwhittingham86 but your suggestion turns off the capability of the other focus modes which I don’t want to do (stated in my comment). I wonder how much time it would take to reactivate them in the few circumstances that I do use the other options.
