Tech Gear Talk Thank you sir... i have a canon 5d mark iv n a m50. But my question is can a sony lens (70-200) fit in either of these 2 cameras ? Wat are the complications etc
thanks for your videos, its really useful))) i have a question: do you ever thinking about comparison EF lenses and EF-m lenses with same or close focal length and aperture wich is brighter?
Just got my canon m50 Mark 2. I can’t express enough how amazing this guy is and how simply he explains the process. There’s a lot to photography but it’s really not as bad when you get started and you have channels like this guys to help along the way.
Love my M50 and it took the place of my G16 in the vehicle. Uh my Big Canon T3i with it's 4 different lens sits in my room unused in the last years. I do a lot of shots on the move so even after a year of playing with it and 100's of pictures I still learn from videos such as yours, Thanks for the time and effort you put into them. My on camera lens is the 18-150 though I have two kit lens also , the 15-45 and 55-200. Going to try the 15-45 for a few runs as I seldom go over 50. Again thanks for the info.
Thank you, I just got the M50 Mark II, a little over a week ago & its been a an amazing camera so far, its a huge upgrade from my iPhone XR, I didn't know how the camera auto focused or how to focus it all the way but now you made that a lot more clear, thank you.
I didn't use the eye detection until now. Thanks for talking about it. My Sigma 56mm will arrive today, and I will most definately be needing that feature. Pls keep on making M50 videos. I already learned so much about the M50. I have been using this camera as my first "real" camera and people have complimented my photos a lot. Thanks for that!
@@TechGearTalk The 56mm just arrived. And it absolutely delivers! The portraits are super sharp and the bokeh is exactly what I wanted. Together with my Sigma 16mm and the kit lens, I feel completely ready for all the things I want to shoot.
I have my M50 and I use it with the Sigma56mmf1.4. I’m so happy I bought this lens. I couldn’t even afford it, I put it on credit and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s amazing.
I’ve been following you since the very beginning of my photography journey. I have learned so much from you and I also have an M50 plus all the lenses you mentioned in the video + more stuff.Totally worth it. You still the best dude out there! Keep the good work.
Every beginner arguing the R5 overheating as if they were pros instead of being here learning from Sagi as we do, plus! a gift at the end??? Thanks man!
Great video. I like most of it, but could you make a video on how to best use the M50 in manual mode? I find it has minimal buttons to adjust the settings making manual mode difficult to use. That said, I am a relatively new user. Thanks
bruh these tips are amazing. im currently using Auto and trying to learn manual and this video helped. still confused on a few things but it only takes time before i start killing it with the M50. Preciate ur videos big time like always they help me out a bunch.
Hello, I started watching your wonderful videos today! I bought an M50, but something is wrong, the photos are grainy, I tried all kinds of settings, I'm just terrified! Is the device not damaged? If you can help me!
Thanks for the video it's was very Informative and my first camera which is the M50 will arrive tomorrow and I am super stoked. I appreciate the videos because I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm starting in this journey because I love to photograph and edit and the art behind it. I want to be a newborn photographer and possibly family as well. I cant wait I learn and wow you make this so easy to understand which I a big plus .. I'm disabled and I have a hard time comprehending and learning new tasks. So thanks so much. I look forward to watching all of your videos. Thanks again and stay safe out there. ❤️📸
lol. I used to shoot in full manual mode years ago.. with film camera of course.. love that depth of field preview.. digital Cameras just aren't the same
Thank you for explaining when to use the different focus modes. Wish someone had made this video when i first got the camera. I used it for both video and stills. All i could find were videos on using it as a video camera.
Thanks for the tips! Just picked up the M50 and have taken it out just one time. This helped me understand a little bit more what I need to do to get the most out of my camera for landscape stills, video and moving subjects.
I bought this camera a few weeks back...still waiting for it. Based a lot on your videos! Thank you so much. Hopefully I get it soon....its on back order pretty much everywhere 🙃
I recently found your channel while researching this camera. You are a very helpful guy! One thing I think your views may like to consider. Regarding tip 3....when starting out try Av or TV mode. It's like manual, but you control either the aperture or shutter speed, and the camera calculates the other. Honestly, after a decade of photography I find these modes just as good as full manual in most cases. And when starting out, it's less mental overhead while shooting. I'm sure you could do a video about this too.
I recently bought a Tamron 18-400mm and Viltrox ef-fx1 adapter for my M50. It’s a great lens. Because of the cropped sensor, I can get up to 650mm. Can’t wait to take it on my travels.
I have the Canon M50 with a Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens. What settings would you recommend for real estate twilight shoots, indoor and outdoor photos and also shooting video? Could you perhaps do a video on how to use the Canon M50 for real estate videography and photography?? Thanks in advance.
@@TechGearTalk Yeah, because so far the low light performance with my M50 is pretty terrible and definitely my #1 reason for wanting to upgrade!! 😒😔 It's especially terrible when using CineStyle custom profile to try to get more dynamic range bc the amount of noise is so bad. Would def love your analysis and any tips for shooting in low light with M50 🙌🔥🔥
This channel is my go to for information on photography and cameras. It is very educational and informative and you present your content in such a professional, calm and clear way. Thank you for doing what you do.
Great video! I’m a beginner so sometimes it’s easy to get overwhelmed with how to use my m50 but I swear your videos get me inspired to pick it back up and start shooting! Do you have a video on how you organize/ backup your photos on your computer? I use a Mac and I’m not sure if the apple photo app is the best way to keep everything organized with iCloud, etc.
I can't get M50 to focus on birds "face" usually, when I shoot with an EF adapted telelens. It just shoots past the birds head, regardless of area, point or face detect mode. I am used to shooting with Lumix LX10 camera, it actually never failed me in this particular situation. It's as if M50 had less AF points on the sensor than that Lumix compact camera, thus could not get the focus on the narrow head of a bird
Thank you sooooo much for this video and your channel! I have just bought the M50 camera and I am so nervous and stressed of taking pictures of people and nature. But now I feel like 1000000 per cent better! Thank you so much! I also would like to ask a question about the lenses - I want to buy canon EF-50mm f/1.USM. Could you please give me your advice or opinion about this?
i just bought a M6 mark ii and i have a question that only you can help me with, is it better to shoot underexposed or over? meaning is it better recovering highlights or shadows in post ? im experimenting with over-exposing my footage both images and videos and i obtain alot of details in post but i almost fully lose my skies ( highlights ) , thinking about trying to shoot underexposed alittle to obtain some of those skies, but i fear that i lose detail on the subject of the photo or video... you know the struggle? 😅😅
Watch some videos on how to use the histogram to set your exposure. In general expose for what matters. For example, if your most important subject is a person's face, and it's in shadow, by all means expose for the face; in this situation, you really have no choice, because skin looks terrible when underexposed, and it can't be corrected in post. Or learn about and experiment with using fill-flash for stills, or an on-camera light for video - Canon's fill-flash is quite good. I often shoot in situations where flash or lights aren't allowed and faces are the most important thing. I find that exposing for the face always works, even if the rest of the scene is blown out and unrecoverable in post. (I'll often set exposure compensation anywhere from + 2/3 to + 1 2/3.) For those situations I'm using a lens that lets me blur the background by shooting at a wide aperture; the effect can be very pleasing - flower displays in the background are overexposed but look wonderful as an abstract blur (bokeh). The lenses are the Canon EF 135mm F/2 L or a Canon EF 24-105 L IS (with Viltrox Speed Booster that makes it an F/2.8), or an inexpensive Canon 50mm F/1.8. The EF 135 and 50 lenses require a regular EF to EF-M adapter.
I’ve been watching a lot of vids on this. I think it’s better to over expose slightly (push the curves of the histo to the right of center), just not blown out. Then bring down the exposure in post. The advantage is not increasing noise by raising the shadows instead. Maybe I’m wrong.
I agree - I usually overexpose by 1/3 stop if I'm going to be moving around and shooting in varied lighting. But if it's unfamiliar lighting I'll test first. If there's a danger of blowing out the highlights I'll "expose for what matters." Example: outdoors in full sun at midday - I'll move in tight and shoot backlit, etc., to avoid big, blown-out patches in the frame.
I know this is 6 months old but I hope I can help: Underexposure is better. When you saturate a pixel so much that it is white ("blown out"), there is no means to recover the data in post-processing. Ever. You have the same problem with pure black but it's a lot more likely in daylight shooting to have very bright situations where areas can be overexposed than dark areas which lack data. If you are taking landscapes and losing sky details, you can either try taking two photos - one exposed for the landscape and one exposed for the sky - and then combining them in post-processing. The other option is to use a split-density filter which will give a better balance of exposure for the two different areas in your picture. I just bought my M6ii so I'm excited to get out and use it (I've been a photographer for 45 years).
Wonderful. A thought on lenses. One of the most useful lenses I've found in 54 years of photographing in tight spaces is a stabilized ultrawide. And Canon's EF-S 10-18mm not only meets those specs, it's an optically super ultra at an amazing price. Mounted on the EM50 with adapter it gives the equivalent of a 16-35mm lens - stabilized - for a lot less than Canon's full-frame EF ultrawides, with equal or better quality. (Hey Sagi, make an affiliate link! :- )
How to edit raw images?? No links.. I don't know much about camera m50 markii which I brought today. new to your channel.. ur way of explaining is highly appreciated. Thanks you
Thank you for all the content about the M50! Love the detail you go into with the shots if the camera's menu. Makes it so much easier for me to find them on mine.
The Sigma 30mm 1.4 is a wonderful lens. It seems to cover nearly all needs I have. But... the 22mm pancake is the first lens I use for Street Photography just becase it works in nearly every situation as the light weight small solution. The 30mm still comes out for when the light starts disapearing. I am also have great daytime fun with the Tamron 18-200 which is proving very useful. So they are the three lenses I have in my bag and the bonus.... they fit the M6 II i just bought. I wish you well and thank you for the quality content.
Just subbed. Relatively new tech (pc hardware) content creator myself and have been using an m50. I'm impressed with the quality of your productions and I will certainly be taking your tips on board using my m50!
A great tutorial for a beginner! I will be coming back often to view it and your other videos to get the most out of them. I have a question: when i turn my camera on and open the screen I get this message: 'Cards write protect switch is set to lock". How can I undo that? I'd appreciate anyone's help
M50 holds up well for me no complaints with picture quality. Have both speed booster and standard ef-elm adapter. Using the Sigma 105mm 2.8 for Macro photos a Nifty Fifty the Canon 85mm 1.8 for my portraits a 18-135 canon and the 55-250 canon when I’m in the park shooting around. Want to get the Sigma 18-35 1.8 and the 150-600 Sigma contemporary zoom to replace the 18-135 and the 55-250. On the fence about getting the RP as a secondary camera tried switching out lenses when I’m out in the park shooting wildlife and scenery.
Hi there. Yes, they are .cr3 files and they open in Photoshop. You just drag it into photoshop and it will open Adobe Camera RAW (you can make edits or not) and click OPEN. That's it.
Nicely done, Sagi. I’m expecting delivery of the Sigma 30mm prime lens today. Hoping it’s the right choice since I shoot mostly video with the M50. I find that I often use the kit lens slightly zoomed in. Thanks for the continued tips! -Ed
Hello, your videos and tutorials are excellent!! I just picked up an m50 and your videos are helping me immensely. What photo and video editing apps do you recommend? I’m an iOS and Mac user if that helps.
Great videos. Thank you. I have the Canon m50, but cannot get good video on the kit lens or my 50ml lens. As soon as I try to do any panning the video which comes out shudders terribly. What am I doing wrong?
The one firmware change this camera _requires_ is a way to disable touch shutter. 7:44 I never use this feature. I find more often than not that it has activated because it toggled itself on accidentally and I got a slew of walking sidewalk or walking asphalt shots because my finger accidentally touched the screen after it toggled on. This feature absolutely needs a disable toggle. Great video!
On my EOS M the switch got on as the came bunched on my body an then it started ti take photographs. I have not yet seen tat on M50. There really should be a menu option to turn it off,
fantastic video, have been looking at purchasing the M50 for a we while now as im starting art school and need a decent camera that can be used to photograph artwork and take video for social media and website. The M50 despite being 3 years old in 2021 is an amazing camera that doesn't break the bank too bad haha. Have learnt some useful tips from this video!
I do own a canon M50 with a creator kit .... i use a Commlite cm-EF-EOS M adaptor with the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens great all around, also use CRANE-M2 easily goes with the M50 kit lens....
Hi there love your videos very insightful, I just bought a Canon m50 as my first camera. My friends wedding in coming up but I'm a beginner so I just got the kit lens. If I needed one good Lens for the wedding besides the kit lens what would you buy? (And no im not the person taking the official wedding photos I just want the practice)
I have been trying to sell my m50 to get a full-frame. Your videos make me reconsider the camera. But i definitely want to move to full frame. Canon RP is a really good start i guess?
this is my first time watching this video, and first time discovering this channel and it helps a lot to me, especially I'm a beginner and planning to buy canon m50 ❤️ Great video big thumbs up for me 👍
I recently got a m50 for Christmas and to me this camera is just amazing !!What is the app you use to edit the pictures , also do you have a video to set up the shutter speed for the m50?
How can I make my still-item image sharper? To be able to zoom in and see the details on the camera, for example? I have the lense that came in the box with the camera. Thank you!

I find that exposing for the face always works, even if the rest of the scene is blown out and unrecoverable in post. (I'll often set exposure compensation anywhere from + 2/3 to + 1 2/3.) For those situations I'm using a lens that lets me blur the background by shooting at a wide aperture; the effect can be very pleasing - flower displays in the background are overexposed but look wonderful as an abstract blur (bokeh). The lenses are the Canon EF 135mm F/2 L or a Canon EF 24-105 L IS (with Viltrox Speed Booster that makes it an F/2.8), or an inexpensive Canon 50mm F/1.8. The EF 135 and 50 lenses require a regular EF to EF-M adapter.
I’ve been watching a lot of vids on this. I think it’s better to over expose slightly (push the curves of the histo to the right of center), just not blown out. Then bring down the exposure in post. The advantage is not increasing noise by raising the shadows instead. Maybe I’m wrong.

I agree - I usually overexpose by 1/3 stop if I'm going to be moving around and shooting in varied lighting. But if it's unfamiliar lighting I'll test first. If there's a danger of blowing out the highlights I'll "expose for what matters." Example: outdoors in full sun at midday - I'll move in tight and shoot backlit, etc., to avoid big, blown-out patches in the frame.
I know this is 6 months old but I hope I can help: Underexposure is better. When you saturate a pixel so much that it is white ("blown out"), there is no means to recover the data in post-processing. Ever. You have the same problem with pure black but it's a lot more likely in daylight shooting to have very bright situations where areas can be overexposed than dark areas which lack data. If you are taking landscapes and losing sky details, you can either try taking two photos - one exposed for the landscape and one exposed for the sky - and then combining them in post-processing. The other option is to use a split-density filter which will give a better balance of exposure for the two different areas in your picture. I just bought my M6ii so I'm excited to get out and use it (I've been a photographer for 45 years).
Wonderful. A thought on lenses. One of the most useful lenses I've found in 54 years of photographing in tight spaces is a stabilized ultrawide. And Canon's EF-S 10-18mm not only meets those specs, it's an optically super ultra at an amazing price. Mounted on the EM50 with adapter it gives the equivalent of a 16-35mm lens - stabilized - for a lot less than Canon's full-frame EF ultrawides, with equal or better quality.

Thanks!
10 to 18 om M50 makes 16 to 29mm, but yes, it is good and I love it on M50.
This channel should have AT LEAST 1 million subs smh😭 the info and knowledge is DEEP in here.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support Jeremy. Appreciate you being part of the channel 🙏
Thank you for this well informative tutorial. I'm starting new myself and want to get familiar with these functions.
Thank you for all the great tips on the new Canon M50 MK II and how to take better pictures with it.
Thank you for this tutorial it's really helpful. ❤️❤️❤️💯 Love from India 🙏🏻❤️
Glad I could help. Thanks for the support!
How to edit raw images?? No links.. I don't know much about camera m50 markii which I brought today. new to your channel.. ur way of explaining is highly appreciated. Thanks you
Thank you for all the content about the M50! Love the detail you go into with the shots if the camera's menu. Makes it so much easier for me to find them on mine.
You're very welcome. So glad it's helpful .
The Sigma 30mm 1.4 is a wonderful lens.
It seems to cover nearly all needs I have.
But... the 22mm pancake is the first lens I use for Street Photography just becase it works in nearly every situation as the light weight small solution.
The 30mm still comes out for when the light starts disapearing.
I am also have great daytime fun with the Tamron 18-200 which is proving very useful.
So they are the three lenses I have in my bag and the bonus.... they fit the M6 II i just bought.
I wish you well and thank you for the quality content.
That's an awesome setup you have Dave! Thanks for the kind words and support!
Bought the first Canon mirrorless camera, the EOS M. Also, bought the 22M lens and the adapter. Question: Will the 22 lens and adapter fit in the M50?
I recently bought the Canon EOS M50 Mark ii kit white. This is really helpful~ thank you 😊
How can I install the downloaded presets in my mobile? Please help me
I'll have to do a tutorial but for now, google - import DNG files to Lightroom Mobile.
@@TechGearTalk thank you so much! Now I already understand. :)
what is the best setting of canon m50 for street photography? any special tips and trick that canon m50 can do?
Just subbed. Relatively new tech (pc hardware) content creator myself and have been using an m50. I'm impressed with the quality of your productions and I will certainly be taking your tips on board using my m50!
A great tutorial for a beginner! I will be coming back often to view it and your other videos to get the most out of them. I have a question: when i turn my camera on and open the screen I get this message: 'Cards write protect switch is set to lock". How can I undo that? I'd appreciate anyone's help
Do you have the video of how to get off auto mode and move to manual!?!
I picked up the m50 based on a lot of ur videos and I love it. Glad to see u still doing videos on this camera. Thank you helps a lot. Keep it up 👍🏽
So glad I could help
M50 holds up well for me no complaints with picture quality. Have both speed booster and standard ef-elm adapter. Using the Sigma 105mm 2.8 for Macro photos a Nifty Fifty the Canon 85mm 1.8 for my portraits a 18-135 canon and the 55-250 canon when I’m in the park shooting around. Want to get the Sigma 18-35 1.8 and the 150-600 Sigma contemporary zoom to replace the 18-135 and the 55-250. On the fence about getting the RP as a secondary camera tried switching out lenses when I’m out in the park shooting wildlife and scenery.
Sounds like a good plan
the raw files on my m50 is in .Cr3 format, how can i import it to photoshop ? because ps cant support cr3 files ?
Hi there. Yes, they are .cr3 files and they open in Photoshop. You just drag it into photoshop and it will open Adobe Camera RAW (you can make edits or not) and click OPEN. That's it.
@@TechGearTalk woaahhhhh 😍 cant believe you replyed its surreal, thanks alot idol keep on making dope videos
Will keep doing my best 👍🏻
Nicely done, Sagi. I’m expecting delivery of the Sigma 30mm prime lens today. Hoping it’s the right choice since I shoot mostly video with the M50. I find that I often use the kit lens slightly zoomed in. Thanks for the continued tips! -Ed
Super excited for you to get the 30mm!!! Let me know how it works out.
@@TechGearTalk I have the Siggy 30mm - It's awesome. Only use it for stills tho.
Tech Gear Talk - I posted a sample video on the FB group. Only did a few test shots but it’s awesome!
Please which is better for photograhy nikon d5600 or canon m50? I hope you reply
This channel is a treasure trove!
So glad it's being helpful!
I learn a lot from your videos using the M50. Thanks..
So glad I could help!
@@TechGearTalk I've bought a sigma 16mm. Hope i will enjoy it. Cant wait to try 😁
Hello, your videos and tutorials are excellent!! I just picked up an m50 and your videos are helping me immensely. What photo and video editing apps do you recommend? I’m an iOS and Mac user if that helps.
Great videos. Thank you. I have the Canon m50, but cannot get good video on the kit lens or my 50ml lens. As soon as I try to do any panning the video which comes out shudders terribly. What am I doing wrong?
The one firmware change this camera _requires_ is a way to disable touch shutter. 7:44 I never use this feature. I find more often than not that it has activated because it toggled itself on accidentally and I got a slew of walking sidewalk or walking asphalt shots because my finger accidentally touched the screen after it toggled on. This feature absolutely needs a disable toggle.
Great video!
Yes, that would be a good move for them.
On my EOS M the switch got on as the came bunched on my body an then it started ti take photographs. I have not yet seen tat on M50. There really should be a menu option to turn it off,
fantastic video, have been looking at purchasing the M50 for a we while now as im starting art school and need a decent camera that can be used to photograph artwork and take video for social media and website. The M50 despite being 3 years old in 2021 is an amazing camera that doesn't break the bank too bad haha. Have learnt some useful tips from this video!
I'm super glad it was helpful Stephen! CONGRATS on the new M50!!!
I do own a canon M50 with a creator kit ....
i use a Commlite cm-EF-EOS M adaptor with the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens great all around, also use CRANE-M2 easily goes with the M50 kit lens....
Your videos have helped me decide on the m50 ☺️ I should be getting it in the next couple days. I can't wait 🥰
Hi there love your videos very insightful, I just bought a Canon m50 as my first camera. My friends wedding in coming up but I'm a beginner so I just got the kit lens. If I needed one good Lens for the wedding besides the kit lens what would you buy?
(And no im not the person taking the official wedding photos I just want the practice)
Thank you Tech Gear Talk, love this M50 tutorial video!
You're very welcome Alvin - appreciate the support!
I have been trying to sell my m50 to get a full-frame. Your videos make me reconsider the camera. But i definitely want to move to full frame. Canon RP is a really good start i guess?
I just bought this camera and your videos are helping me a lot!! Thank you so much!
this is my first time watching this video, and first time discovering this channel and it helps a lot to me, especially I'm a beginner and planning to buy canon m50 ❤️ Great video big thumbs up for me 👍
Happy to help!
I recently got a m50 for Christmas and to me this camera is just amazing !!What is the app you use to edit the pictures , also do you have a video to set up the shutter speed for the m50?
yooooo you helping me out big time with the servo focus tip, didn't even know that was an option....
Could you do a video on the settings that you use for your M50?
How can I make my still-item image sharper? To be able to zoom in and see the details on the camera, for example? I have the lense that came in the box with the camera. Thank you!
Just got a new M50 and have do idea how to use it! Thanks for the tips and tricks here!!
Just got my M50 yesterday..your tips are really very helpful👍🏻
I just came across your channel, I absolutely love it and will be referring you to my photographer and videographer friends
So glad the video was helpful. Welcome to the channel!
