I've had my M50 for almost a year and love it. Coming back to this video after several months has been hugely helpful. You explain the stabilization features better than any other UA-camr, most of whom say don't use the digital stabilization. But you have explained the intent of each. Digital IS "enabled" smooths out handheld jitters and bumps when walking, panning etc. "Enhanced" is for when you want a rock steady handheld shot without camera movement. If you try to pan it's trying to to make a moving object stand still and is constantly recalculating what that should be which is why it looks terrible. This one video has upped my game significantly (and helped me get full value out of the camera. Thank you.
Now if someone can explain how the 4k works... It uses less of the image on the sensor, yet gets more pixels of resolution and then you can zoom in still further in post and get 1080p image quality.
Thanks for sharing these settings. Now I’m really curious about your editing settings because your the final product is fire!!
Just got the M50 and a 22mm f2 yesterday, I'm IN LOVE!!!!!!! Great video man, subbed :)
Dude the colour settings absolutely changed the game for me, thankyou!
YAY!!!!
This video just saved me from thinking I needed a camera upgrade 🙌🏻
YAS!
Yeah, we always feel there's an itch to spend more to upgrade
the lens he used in the hockey video is 700 bugs!
Hey Justin! Thank you for making this video! So relevant.. All the videos on my channel were shot on an M50. I enjoyed you sharing how you'd get closer to a log setting on the M50. Subscribed!
That camera is so good for vlogging and you seem really confortable with it!
Yeah, it's super handy! Love the size of it. Can't remember if I replied to your other comment about your 6D Mk II, but I am jealous of being able to have a blurry background like you would with a 16-35 f/2.8. I've been seeing a lot of people struggling to get the focus to be smooth on the 6D - I'm assuming that's because of the ultrasonic motors in most of the good Canon glass, but how has it been for you?
Great vid! I love the M50 and think it really has potential to be used in a much higher quality than people think.
Foreshadow your own channel much? EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE TO KINOTIKA!
Justin Reves ❤️❤️
Great suggestions and shots Justin. Thanks!
Oh you're welcome!
Thanks for the tips - I have been trying this camera at out a pretty basic level but want to step up my game now so some good ideas here
Thanks for your time sharing this. This is definitely helping me choose my new camera.
Dude! So helpful. I have been struggling to dial in my m50 for my channel. This is perfect. Can’t wait to try out the setups you described.
Awesome!
I need to use these !! Thanks for your help ;)
Awesome! You’re most welcome.
I know it is a little bit irrelevant, but I have been browsing tons of M50 reviews etc and I just wanted to say that this is literally one of the first reviews where the person's way of speaking about this subject was so enjoyable. I know it is mainly about "subject" but the way you explain is really peaceful and easily understandable without excess bs. Thank you :)
YAS! That makes me happy. Thank you!
Just got one of these ... upgrading from shooting vids on my phone. So excited to use it! Thanks for the tips!
It's a nice upgrade!
same here!
Brilliant and informative vid. Just bought the M50 and love it. Your settings advice is extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks Alan
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for this man! I'm really glad that you talk about working around the camera's flaws vs what it is out of the box as most people have reviewed this camera as. I really appreciate it. It's really helped me decide on going through with purchasing it because I'd like to challenge myself to see what type of story i can tell with a camera that I can pack around much easier as I travel around.
story always wins!
Still learning every day with this camera. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for all your M50 videos! I followed you when I bought the G85 and now onto the M50!
Awesome, thanks Andrew!!
Huge help. Thanks for these tips.
👊
I recently bought a M50 and your video is the best M50 video I've seen! Well done dude! Smashed the link sub en kicked the bell.
Dude, honestly thank God you making a video like this. You have definitely given me something to think about. 🙏🏾
Best review so far. Not dwelling on how bad 4K is, and in fact i love how positive you are about it. I feel the same. The 4K is lacking compared to others but the camera has so much more to offer., and I think the crop factor combined with a fast prime makes it quite unique.
You make such great Videos Man. This is Amazing!!!!!
Appreciate that Jesse!
Your M50 videos have been very helpful! Ended up grabbing that and the Sigma!
Love your vids man, they get straight to the point haha
Haha thank you!
Just got my m50 and this is helpful! Thank you for making the more technical things (like the specifics of how different stabilizers crop) understandable haha!
Awesome! Glad I could help.
Amazing camera. I got gifted by this and I moved to from my phone videos to vlogging on this. Learning it more and more
Awesome talk, awesome points, I just got M50 and this video got me on the right track.
🙌🙌
Hey Justin - just curious if you had to get a mount adapter for the sigma lens to fit on the canon EF-M mount. I’m interested in the set up you have, but noticed the sigma mount says “EF” - have you had any issues? Would love your insight (eg any autofocus issues with the sigma lens etc) and you totally inspired me to max out the potential of my m50. Thanks! 🙏🏻
The Canon EF-M to EF adapter works GREAT with the Sigma (provided its the EF mount). Autofocus worked great and it was quiet if you used an external mic.
Will purchase soon..
You- are amazing.. thank you for sharing your craft
You do an excellent job at explaining everything in detail. A great speaking voice. Very friendly and made me feel very comfortable even though I'm new to making videos and don't know what I'm doing. Keep up the good work man!
Useful information, thanks.
Great lighting with this camera is perfect
Not to be confused with Cinematic; the other overly used term on YT. You're def. putting the M50 through it's paces and I took a lot from your breakdown on picture profiles. Going back to making some more drastic adjustments on the profiles after watching. Thanks dude!
Daniel Ince the color profiles really make Canon's super dynamic.
Look up Cinestyle
Or Marvel Cinema
Or even Superflat
They're user made and can be simply downloaded into most Canon's - including M50 or 5DM3+. Up to three different user saved! Just use your EOS Utility.
THANKS for the valuable info, just got my M50 and love it. Liked and subbed....
Awesome!! It's such a great little camera. Just works.
thank you so much for this info, I'm thinking on getting one of this guys for my self
You’re welcome!
Great advice! I'm going to use it for vlogging, photography, and work. Even though I've heard some critical voices, I'm quite excited to put up to the test!
If you're looking at the specs compared to something like a Sony, it's easy to be critical. But for the price, it's really hard to beat.
I just got this camera this was pretty helpful. Thanks man
Awesome video, 1 year late, but still took the m50. Thanks to your guide, i was able to get the most out of my puny little m50! Played with it a while, till i got my speedbooster, and it opened up a whole new level on this little monster!
Thank you...Waiting for my Canon M 50 to arrive....will then watch it again☺
Thank you Justin i couldnt make up my mind between the Canon EOS T7i and the M50. This video has settled me on the M50.
Yeah, it's definitely what I'd pick!
The M50 looks awesome!!!! It looks like you have lots of lenses. I know the 22 mm at F 2 but all the others are native to M50 or you have a ring adapter ? Thanks for this fantastic video !
This was awesome thank you!
7.5k Subs already! Well done Justin! Waiting till 100k :D
probably be retired by then ;)
Hey! Great videos! I am trying to dial in my settings on my m50 but I am having issues with the black in my videos having noise or artifacts any tips?
Thanks for the great tips on m50
Great video
Thanks man!
Awesome, thanks a lot
Yeah, that was a huge help! Coming from Panasonic and Sony I always turned the sharpness all down... I almost sold this camera; I shot a video today, and it looks great!
Love the hat! and thanks for the tips
Bought one today. This was helpful :-)
Awesome! It's GREAT.
Great vid. I'm a noob and the m50 that I just got is my first
I really want to use these same custom picture profiles on the 90d. They worked great on the M50......thank you!!!!!
Would you recommend the 18 to 35 lens for a second lens? I have the 22 for the m50
Video images are great, what were taken in 4k or 1080? I suppose you used sigma 18-35. Thank you
Super thankful for the vid. I wouldn't have changed those settings if I didn't see that you can here haha
Many thanks for this.
Awesome, video. Definitely like how go over everything. Some people take themselves a little to serious when they talk about cameras. Gets annoying. Thanks for the video. I’m loving my M50. I’ll be subscribing, friend. Take care.
Thanks Derek!
Hey Justin!! Nice videos!!! But I still split between getting a SL2 vs M50!! Can you get the audio levels display on the SL2? Can you charge the SL2 by usb? And last but not least can you customize buttons like you do on the M50? Thanks!! Keep uploading!!
I can't remember if you can see audio but I'd assume no. can't charge via usb. don't think you get the same customization options for buttons but you do get some! check out Kinotika - they made a comparison video!
Zagalo which camera did you end up buying the sl2 or m50?
hi justin, do you have a video on how the preamps are on the m50? is it noisy or much better /comparable to other high ends cameras? i'm thinking about getting the videomicro to go with that. also was asking you on the vlog you did with greg to see what you used as a mic. thank you in advance.
Hey! I think the preamps are fine. Use it with a VideoMicro and it’s pretty good. I guess if you think that’s good enough - that’s what we use!
How are 3rd party lenses with dual pixel auto-focus? Nice video, a lot of interesting little adjustments to make using it more efficient. I still need to get into my SL2's settings. Haven't even touched the custom menu yet, lol.
My Sigma 18-35 works GREAT.
Great job on the B-Roll...Killer!!! What lens, camera settings and fps did you use for the concert footage? Was the camera hand held? It looks excellent and I know that is one of the toughest environments to properly film in. The colors and focus clarity look outstanding!!!
Thanks!! All shot handheld with the Sigma 18-35mm at f/1.8, 24fps, 1/50th, and whatever the ISO needed to be.
Hey man, I've just started out with the Canon m50. Great video with Great tips. Not over the top fast talking crap like most tutorials! Subscribed :)
Glad it helped!
@@JustinReves It did indeed! It would mean a lot if you could subscribe to my channel and critique my videos as im just starting out with the m50! any tips would mean a lot buddy!
What kind of lights are you using in the background? I really like those colors.
So my "hair light" had a purple gel on it and then there's two lamps with cheap LED light bulbs on either side that you can change the colour on.
@@JustinReves really love the look of colors in the back too!! Do you have a different colored light on each side?
I cannot wait to see what Canon will bring in its full frame ML cameras. I love my 5D4 but if I can do my vids with something lighter and better codec I would be really happy. The crop on the 5D4's 4K video doesnt bother me since I have a Tamron 15-30 that it does great but the massive used of memory on 4K is the killer.
What did you set for fitness and threshold in the first picture style
thanks for this man
Have you had any issues with hooking up an external mic and hearing a lot of radio frequency interference?
About to go out and film documentary talking-head interviews and I'm probably going to use this camera because I will mostly be traveling solo and I need something light and decent. So thanks for this video! Very insightful! :)
It should be great for that - just do your interviews by a good source of light.
@@JustinReves thanks for the tip! Probably gonna buy an extra battery or two as well haha...
If I use the Picture Profile you recommend, which LUT style should I use? Log or Rec 709?
Good video Justin - hey do you no if there is a setting to slow down the dual pixel focus while racking between subject matter when filming - it would be nice to slow it down a bit.
no, unfortunately. no option to slow it down. wish they offered this like Sony does.
Thanks mate - much appreciated.
Thanks Justin! Clear explanation! Can you tell me what camera you used to shot yourself in this video and what lens please?
Will the footage in the Canon M50 match exactly with the Canon M6? I currently have a Canon M6 and am considering getting a second camera for B-roll footage and a 2nd angle. Is it worth getting the M50? Or will it be too much of a hassle to match the color grade of the M6?
is focusing good in low light?. Also does this camera shoot high quality images. Is taking pictures with this camera better then the nikon d7200?
Monitor audio input level while recording by downloading the camera app on another device (phone/laptop) the app also allows you to adjust focus as well as other things. I dont know if it's a canon app or what. I seen it done in another video
Im a beginner and looking for my first camera. Im torn between sony a6000 or canon m50. Which is better for cinematic videos? Hope you response. Thanks!
Why I still get the wind noise having bose micro attached to my m50, audio set to manual.
Do you have your deadcat far enough back? That's all I can think of. If it's REALLY windy, I'll get some noise but that's it.
I already bought a Boya M1, just waiting now.
thanks for the time you put into this. one question: you seem to be the first guy to realize that it has clean HDMI out. two requests: could you see if it streams audio as well as video? If I am going to use it to livestream I would think that is important. Also, you might show us how to livestream with it. There are no other vids I can find on this with this model. Thanks!
I'll try it out soon!
Great review 👌🏼
Thank you!
Great video! Thank you. What tripod are you using?
Is the 'wind filter' setting a high pass? If so, I won't need a mic that has one.
Justin, thanks for the video. This one ultimately helped me decide on the M50 a few months back. Annoying issue I'm running into though, the power toggle switch doesn't appear to do anything. Especially turn the camera off when I flip it into the off position. Is this normal on the M50 to have an always or passively on feature?
Shawn Nelson no, that’s weird!
Memorial Cup??
Thanks for the help. My M50 is due in any day now!!
Yep, Memorial Cup! We made a bunch of vids for it over on Justin & Greg so I pulled a few shots from it. The VLOG we put out yesterday is actually WILD! Were down 7-2 and brought it back to 7-6 - crowd was going NUTS.
Justin Reves i bet ot was awesome. Have never seen a game live, only on TV.
finally got my M50 just 15mins ago!! i'm pumped!!!
Thanks bro!
At 7:48 it says 4k30, All-I. I didn't know this shot All-I. Is it greyed out or available?
I am really enjoying your videos....am thinking of m50 for streaming and YT vids... is there a recording time limit in 1080p? Thx
29:59 for recording. The unfortunate part for streaming is that it goes to sleep after 30 minutes. My buddy has his not going to sleep with an A/C adapter but I haven’t been able to replicate. Great camera though!
so using a ac adapter can replace the 30min limit?🤔
What song was that during the video footage in the beginning?!?!😍
Oh boy, that's going back a bit. I'd guess it's from ArtList. They have some great music for creators!
Such a cool camera, I want it so bad lol
Hi Justin, yep I'm impressed, good work & thoughts, … I assume the desk talking portion was shot with the M50 too ?
Cheers from Straya
Probably my a6500 if I had the M50 in my hands. But my "Best Canon Camera" video was shot in 4K on my M50 and it looks STUNNING.
what would be the best lens for film and sports film thanks
Cool review, thank you. One advice is, please, show the menu settings with longer shots, I didn't catch some of them, even with 5 times reply the part in your video )))))
Thank you :) May be i am late to the party but how do you find the sigma 24 1.4 with the m50 and the adaptor? I have a t3i and i ma thinking how i can improve further, but cheaper.
I just have the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 with the M adapter and it's AWESOME for video. Focuses really well. BUT. The M50 has dual-pixel autofocus so you'd likely need to do manual focus with the t3i which you can do!
do you recommend the Sigma 24mm 1.4 ? does the 18-35 have noise issues with the auto zoom? I have heard some sigma lenses are loud with the autofocus where a constant sound is going
The 18-35 is fine if you use the genuine Canon adapter. Noisy AF with cheap 3rd party ones. Sigma 24mm 1.4 is beautiful but overkill for this camera. You could get the new Sigma EF-M 16mm f/1.4 and 30mm f/1.4 and those would be sweet!
lovely video .. but .. mate .. i am unable to focus 2 talents in my talk show episodes .. any suggestions of FOCUS ?
Either put them equal distance from the camera or crank up that aperture to a high number so more is in focus?
@@JustinReves ok . thanks . i will try that
What camera you use to shoot this? Your color is on point.
Iv just picked up my m50 but in the settings it only gives me the option for 50fps and 25fps not 24 or 60 can anyone help??
This is a great video thank you
You’re welcome - thanks for the kind words
Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to get by the 30 minute recording time threshold with DSLRs?
