I think it's great Canon has people on here explaining their cameras and showing how easy they could be used really appreciate this video I wish Canon continues having people come on and explaining like the M50 and sx740 HS great cameras thank you for sharing
Nice video, I would love to see one that compares the "sports" mode of continuous shooting (accessed from the top dial) to the mode of continuous shooting that's accessed from the Q button. The Q button one seems faster but it's a pain to reset every time I turn the camera on. With the Canon 720SX, this function remained unless you reset it but for some reason on the 740SX it doesn't stay on.
Hello from Atlanta Georgia thank you so much what a great presentation you had thank you for sharing this video on the Canon SX 740 great little camera especially in 4K video
Great Video. Would like to see additional ones that fully explain things like 'Servo Mode', 'Auto Lighting Optimizer', 'Slow Synchro', 'Display Area',? etc. when and how these functions work. Camera has So Much! Another nice addition would be a Flow Chart (Im great with them). If you can provide a rough outline, I can do the workup, share with you for fine detailing. One question I have is the 740's Blue Tooth connectivity. There's a product (cage handle) that has a built-in remote (removable as well), Company shows it will work with the G7 series (waiting for specifics if tried on the 740)... Other than the 740 is on BT2.0... the G7 on 3.0, it would seem the basic functions of Shoot, Video, Zoom should still be the same, can you comment please?
Yes if you are a vlogger that is more outdoors only because if the zoom, it's amazing! I'd go with the Sony or Canon gx7 for a better auto focus that blurs the backgrounds,Better color too than this sx740 hs.
it helps with the basic stuff, but I dont know what alot of the more technical settings are used for esp on P or M mode. Stuff like white balance and a few other things. Even in Auto mode many of my pics come out a little over exposed, which bothers me. I like the time lapse feature, but would be neat to see the results of how it looks when you are done. One more thing, the other Auto mode I find is neat, kinda like still shots while taking a movie, you didnt really touch upon.. thanks again
A constant frustration for me with this camera is that if there is the smallest amount of movement the moving object will be blurry, even when not using zoom. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Not every picture is a landscape!
Hi I have tried the Pen E-PL10 and the 14-150mm lens. While the quality of the photos was brilliant (for me), I realised i think i would rather a camera you dont have to change the lens. I found them awkward. But my main worry was that i would not have support from Olympus next year as they are selling on. So i now am looking for a camera again with the same specs, (good stabilisation as I have a bit of a tremor, close up, really good zoom with good quality when using zoom, good night shots, moveable touchscreen etc etc). I also found the things that the PEN did was good and fun too like ART, SCENE etc. I would spend say up to about £900. Do you have any suggestions please as I really would like to buy one quickly. I am a 70 year young lady and want to practise before we can return to travel again. Many thanks.
Great video-thank you. I have a question though: when taking pictures the date stamped is a 2020 date and that is the date used when transferred to a smartphone - how do I change this to the date the picture was taken? I have gone into Function Settings and it does reflect a current date. Any help would be great!
I have photos showing in playback that will not transfer to phone, computer or iPad, they do not show up in Camera Connect, but I can see and scroll thru them. Paid tech answers had no solution please help if you know how.
the green light shows that it is focusing, it comes up when you press the shutter button halfway. Also if you have it on self timer the green light will flicker faster indicating that your picture will soon be taken. i din't think you can get rid of it.
Great video. Was just wondering how I would add an external microphone to this camera to record videos? Such as a Blue Yeti microphone. This camera does not have a spot to attach the audio cables that come with the Blue Yeti. It only has a USB and HDMI component. Would I just have to use OBS to record my audio portion using an external microphone then sync the audio and video files on my editing software?
I bought this camera in January. I like to take pictures of nature and landscape. But I was disappointed that I can not take good pictures of forests, gray mountains, etc. Then my mobile phone does a better job.I seems the camera need a lot of light to do this job.
have this one, quite good for it's size and price range, usually brought this camera to shoot on the street for filling up my instagram. Good for candid shot, but in low light condition, its perform horribly lol.
Would you recommend this camera for a DJ looking to shoot photos and video in low light environments? I have been told the G7x or G9x are my best options, but they are a bit over my price range.
The G9X mark I should be affordable second hand. Both the G7X and the G9X have larger sensors and therefore better for low light. The G7X is slightly better for low light, maybe get the mark II second hand. I suspect the SX740 might be ok as long as you focus on a highlight in a low light room.
SaintOverKill it is because you have to upload it to your laptop using the SD card it can’t be through airdrop, or usb. This solved my problem hope it works for you!
i just wish you had close up camera on the top wheel so I can really see what it has on there instead of just telling me what all the things mean. I need reading glasses and I can’t see the wheel without them. Normally when I’m outside, taking pictures, I don’t wear my glasses and I can’t see what the wheel is on.
Hey im trying to upload videos from camera to my laptop wirelessly. I downloaded the canon software received a message that images are sending but nothing was actually sent over to my laptop.
I suggest finding a tech-savvy friend to help you in person - I just got the camera today, and the wireless setup has lots of instructions and is almost intuitive. You might be missing a small step. I'm very good with tech - but no way I can see what you are doing. Just find a friend or relative to help you - Good luck!!
Can someone please please help? My camera turns on good when it’s on the viewfinder but when I flip it the other way it turns black and can’t see anything! P,ease help.
I bought it myself but I can’t figure out why I can’t record videos with colour, it’s just black and white and why would I want that. Also, how do I turn the flash on while recording?
Like when I go to the video setting, it’s all black and white, but if I’m in AUTO mode it’s in colour, but there must be some setting to remove the black and white.
This camera is so good, I had to buy two of them. One for each hand.
LOL
🤣🤣🤣
😜🤣😂
And how exactly do You get into the shot? 😉
Yea right
I think it's great Canon has people on here explaining their cameras and showing how easy they could be used really appreciate this video I wish Canon continues having people come on and explaining like the M50 and sx740 HS great cameras thank you for sharing
So far the best review about this camera!! Thank you!
Best tutorial for this camera, going to try all the tips!

Thank you - very helpful in deciding on my next camera
I need HELP. I recently bought this camera and I STILL DON'T know how to properly use it.
I got that camera July 18 and I brightened my screen on “P” and when I recorded the screen when back to its regular color
Is it still worth buying the Canon PowerShot SX740HS or are there any better camera in the same budget?
It took me a long time to figure out how to use this camera with a clean HDMI output!
Very informative video. Thank you !

I accidentally tuned on the rate button. How do I turn it off?
A constant frustration for me with this camera is that if there is the smallest amount of movement the moving object will be blurry, even when not using zoom. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Not every picture is a landscape!

That depends on your SD card.

I use mine for moon shots LOL
@@tonyamocha5365 yeah, moon shots quite fine too even with 80x digital zoom.
