Thank you Jason! Super helpful. I got the R50 and I only have the kit lens, which other lens would you recommend? Mostly for traveling (landscape, portraits, animals), 50mm?
I would grab the RF-S 55-210mm geni.us/PbfjL0S to compliment your RF-S 18-55mm lens for the most range and most affordable option. The 55-210mm appears to only be available as a kit lens option though at the time of writing this unfortunately... For the best all-in-one lens option you can get the RF-S 18-150mm lens: geni.us/5pxFjX and then you won't really need the 18-45mm lens anymore... 150mm is a lot of reach... I compared the 18-45mm vs the 18-150mm lens here: ua-cam.com/video/BV6Xf_EVBS4/v-deo.html You could also consider some full frame RF lenses, but they are larger and more expensive for the most part... The RF 24-240mm geni.us/QqwaXAB in particular looks to be a great all-in-one lens option for the money, but it's $899 US... For portraits in particular, the RF 50mm f/1.8 lens: geni.us/U8903L would be an excellent option and it's very affordable... I hope that helps and thank you for the kind words about the video :) Jay
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!! I just brought this camera, and have looked at a bunch of different tutorials, but yours is the one I actually watched. I found it engaging, comprehensive, and very informative. I’m now able to enjoy my camera. Thanks!!
I’ve been jumping from one video to another after buying the R50 as my first legitimate camera. A lot of the other videos assumed a base line understanding I didn’t have. This guide is great.
LOVE THIS IN-DEPTH GUIDE!! I will be having my R50 as my first ever camera and this video will somehow help me how to navigate the controls without being overwhelmed. I hope there's a part 2 where all functions will be demonstrated via taking photos or videos outside.
Kia Ora Jason, just picked up an R50 and this guide is a winner. You've saved me (and everyone else here) a bunch of time. Cheers mate, appreciate your efforts!
I have just purchased this camera for my fishing channel. This video is the best guide on UA-cam by a million miles. Thanks for making it and going through it slowly and with detail. Just what was needed to further understand the camera world
As someone who films long videos for UA-cam, I appreciate so much the amount of details and the pace you go about showing everything about this camera! I wish I had seen one of these for the first camera I’ve had, would’ve made the learning experience much easier! Thank you!!
I’ve owned a polaroid camera since I was 10. I’m 18 and just got a real camera!! I have NO idea what i’m doing or what anything means. This video is understandable, simple, and the exact video most of us needed. Thank you sir!!
My wife got me this camera for my birthday and your video was totally a game changer for me. It allowed me to fully enjoy it, amazing video super extensive. Thank you for sharing this out with the world!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, Couldnt figure it out without you really, all those little things are very important to know and I was quite lost before I saw your tutorial. I got annoyed that every time i clicked on the screen it was taking a picture and you showed how to turn that on and off. I'm only at 20 minutes and have gotten so much information out of this. You are the absolute best. Thank you!
just wanna say man you do a very good job explaining yourself, the camera, and how it all works im glad you posted this because this is an amazing tutorial thank you so much
You're a legend, sir! I've just received the exact package of your content. You've made me love my new camera! It's my very first camera in life, and I know nothing about filming or photography - you've inspired me. Keep it up, man!
I bought my camera during Black Friday. Specifically I chose the 2 lens kit. I haven’t went and experimented with the camera I’ve been putting that off for about month. I picked up the canon r50 because I watch great reviews on UA-cam and before I stumbled onto the r50 I thought about buying the canon m50 mkii. Anywho I wanted to pick up another hobby and photography stood out to me, however I don’t know nothing about photography or these fancy words you guys are using. But my 2024 New Year’s resolution was to take great photos and videos and their was no better way to start but to start here with your excellent explanation on this powerful and incredibly compact camera. I’m taking notes , pausing and rewinding and taking it all in. Want to know all about there is about photography. Just wanted to say thank you , thanks for your explanation. Hope to see another in depth explanation on future canon cameras.
Thanks Roger for the very kind words and sharing your story :) I have another video tutorial using the R10, which is nearly identical to the R50, and that will teach you more in depth about camera modes and photography concepts in general: ua-cam.com/video/V2atwxYzPBA/v-deo.html All the best, Jay
Whenever, I get a new camera, I can always count on you to teach me everything I need to know about how to use it. I just wanted to let you know that I am very grateful for all of those lessons. Thank you, Jason; and you're an excellent instructor.
New to photography, absolutely phenomenal video. Thanks for taking the time to make something like this and moreover thinking from the POV of someone learning this for the firs time. Thank you Jason!
Thanks Jason for this tutorial on the R50, I got mine a day ago and I’ve learned quite a few things from watching your video very informative and straight forward, you take your time in explaining things.thank you again
This is excellent man, thank you!! I shoot with a Rebel T6 and I use my Motorola phone for videography because it has a amazing camera setup but I am starting to take videography a lot more serious, started a UA-cam channel for music concerts and heavy Athletic competitions for Scottish and Celtic festivals all over the Northeast USA and I did A LOT of research before deciding to get the R50. It's amazing what it can do not to mention uncropped 4k video for 60 min at a time! The amount of options they give you for the photography as well is astounding! I probably won't use the T6 as much anymore lol. I love how it has the 25.2 mp sensor as well! I really think it's crazy that it's labeled as a beginner/entry level camera because to be honest it's not. It's more of a ultra compact intermediate level TRAVEL camera.
Got my first camera a couple of days ago. This is awesome content, thank you. I will need to come back to it a couple of times I think! Going to get out in the next couple of days and play around with my new camera 😊
I'm planning to buy my first camera (Canon R50) in future and this help me a lot as a beginner to get familiar with the settings and other modes, Thanks man 👏🏻
Great video and in depth explanation of its different modes and features! I appreciate it and look forward to growing in this hobby and catching up with your other content! Thank you kindly!
Thank you for this video, just got mine and additionally bought the 50 mm you recommended for portraits. Now to watch the video as I set up the camera.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial..i really appreciate the way you explained everything in a simple manner..operating this cam is now much easier for me..😃
Thank you so much! Very helpful. I have the 6D Mark ii but got this one mainly for video (and travel) since it’s so much smaller. Makes life much easier and still more options than I need. Already in love with it! Again, this was very helpful. Thanks!
Hi! I have a t5i thats SD card slot just broke (spring?) so I was all ready to get a 6d mark ii since everything always said to buy full frame but now I’m considering this, what would you do? I do all kinds of photography including portrait. Thank you!
Wish I'd watched this before I bought the camera. The guy in the camera store advised me to buy the EF 75-300 lens for which you need the lens adaptor. Think he saw me coming? The 55-220 would have been a better option from what you're saying. Great video for a camera dummy like me. Thanks!
As a beginner, I don't know how someone can sort their way through the camera and its menus without your videos. This has been a tremendous help for my family and I before we travel to Italy. Question: What is the actual utility of HDR mode, as it pertains to still photos? I guess I don't know understand the difference between changing the image quality, and turning HDR mode on? Thanks again!
Hello, yes the HDR option that I showed is for stills and honestly i would not use it very often unless the scene was super bright and dark at the same time.
I absolutely love this in depth explanation. You explain every single detail and not just assume that everyone knows the basics right away and jump straight to the specs. THIS is a beginners guide👍
I just had to come back and say once again this camera is the BEST FOR BEGINNERS… so easy to use and download the canon connect and you can take photos from your iPhone. Love love love this camera. Pics come out CRYSTAL CLEAR! I do have the lens the camera came with and notice it’s really good with group photos, And I bought the 50mm to give me blurry backgrounds, and that one is mostly for single person shots. Am I right on that sir?
Thanks for sharing and yes you are correct as far as lens choice for singles and groups... you would have to be really far away to use the 50mm for a group shot ;) Much better served for single portraits and subject separation stuff like products or flowers for example in my opinion... All the best, Jay
Hi Jason Brother ! The video is amazing and no one can make this video better than you ! I understood everything very well and I am getting mine in 2 more weeks. I am going to watch this a few times. And I am from India, I am 13 right now, so I want to start a channel based on Drums(tutorials,covers,tips,etc.). So do you think , the kit lens, the 18-45mm one, will be suitable or should I purchase another lens ? And I also have a Maono Condenser Microphone with the USB A output and I have no idea how to connect it to the R50. So could you help me out with it ?
@@Jason_Hermann Oh, so I should go with the shotgun mic in this case. Thank you Jason Brother ! But however the video was amazing, and I actually can't express how good it is

Thank you so much for this video. I am going to save it and refer to it as I need too.
Glad it was helpful!
Got this today 🎉🎉
Oh yeah!
Great tutorial, thanks. Can't wait to get out with my R50 and try those settings.
Thank you so much! Very helpful. I have the 6D Mark ii but got this one mainly for video (and travel) since it’s so much smaller. Makes life much easier and still more options than I need. Already in love with it! Again, this was very helpful. Thanks!

Hi! I have a t5i thats SD card slot just broke (spring?) so I was all ready to get a 6d mark ii since everything always said to buy full frame but now I’m considering this, what would you do? I do all kinds of photography including portrait. Thank you!
great guide!
Thanks Leo!
thank you so much for putting this video together and explaining everything in details it really helped me
You're very welcome!
Got mine. And this video is really a great help. Thank you.
Wish I'd watched this before I bought the camera. The guy in the camera store advised me to buy the EF 75-300 lens for which you need the lens adaptor. Think he saw me coming? The 55-220 would have been a better option from what you're saying.
Great video for a camera dummy like me. Thanks!
Hi Jason, Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was very helpful.
You're very welcome and thank you for the comments Marie :)
Thanks 🙏 Jason . I purchased R50 by your recommendation.
Hats off to the hard work .. top notch work
Great video 🥇 I’m loving this camera 📸
Let me save the video. I just got the camera and the video will definitely help a lot
Thank you so much🎉 just got mine and this video helped me
Super cool how to guide. Fun to see the menu and functions of the Canon R50.
Glad you enjoyed it Matt and thanks for the comments :)
Such an amazing and helpful video and it's going to be very cool when I start using this camera so thank you so much for showing me how to use it!
This was a wonderful video. I am planning on getting a R50 and will repeat watching this excellent video
As a beginner, I don't know how someone can sort their way through the camera and its menus without your videos. This has been a tremendous help for my family and I before we travel to Italy.
Question: What is the actual utility of HDR mode, as it pertains to still photos? I guess I don't know understand the difference between changing the image quality, and turning HDR mode on? Thanks again!
Hello, yes the HDR option that I showed is for stills and honestly i would not use it very often unless the scene was super bright and dark at the same time.
Very helpful for the r50 thank you
what an amazing video, really in-depth info provided, thank you.
Suuuper helpful! Thank you Jason!
You bet!
Just what I was looking for, Jason, thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial ❤
straight to the point, love this content! thanks so much!
Great video, very helpful
Thanks!
Your welcome and thank you!
You are the best! Thank you!!!
I absolutely love this in depth explanation. You explain every single detail and not just assume that everyone knows the basics right away and jump straight to the specs. THIS is a beginners guide👍
I just had to come back and say once again this camera is the BEST FOR BEGINNERS… so easy to use and download the canon connect and you can take photos from your iPhone. Love love love this camera. Pics come out CRYSTAL CLEAR!
I do have the lens the camera came with and notice it’s really good with group photos,
And I bought the 50mm to give me blurry backgrounds, and that one is mostly for single person shots.
Am I right on that sir?
Thanks for sharing and yes you are correct as far as lens choice for singles and groups... you would have to be really far away to use the 50mm for a group shot ;) Much better served for single portraits and subject separation stuff like products or flowers for example in my opinion... All the best, Jay
Great I’m learning❤ thank you
Hi Jason Brother ! The video is amazing and no one can make this video better than you ! I understood everything very well and I am getting mine in 2 more weeks. I am going to watch this a few times. And I am from India, I am 13 right now, so I want to start a channel based on Drums(tutorials,covers,tips,etc.). So do you think , the kit lens, the 18-45mm one, will be suitable or should I purchase another lens ? And I also have a Maono Condenser Microphone with the USB A output and I have no idea how to connect it to the R50. So could you help me out with it ?
You can't connect a the USB mic to the camera as far as I know, and yeah I think the 18-45mm will work well for you!
@@Jason_Hermann Oh, so I should go with the shotgun mic in this case. Thank you Jason Brother ! But however the video was amazing, and I actually can't express how good it is
thank you for this quality content, it really helped
This was very helpful. Thank you
