Thank you! Appreciate you simplifying things for people like me (new owner of an f8), and kind of new to photography. Had to watch it a number of times (or rewind a part) to catch it all. Thanks again!
Good solid instruction. I am a long time professional photographer myself. These are things I do automatically. Explaining the process is not easy well done.
Forest, your video was amazingly helpful and I am brand new to the R8 up from an EOS 50D. My aperture, shutter speed and ISO were always right on top of my 50D and were my trilogy of photography. I am understanding that you are using the ''multi function button'' now for ISO because ISO is not an option right at your fingertips if I understand that correctly I do like the way you explain things clearly and your Aperture Priority example with the 3 step process (1. F-Stop, 2. ISO, 3 Shutter speed (And adjust iso according) is perfect. Lower numbers Higher number of F-Stops explained perfectly as well as ISO. I will look at your other videos to see how to set a multifunction button, because these were set for me on the 50D and this now is all menu driven and new. Also, when you are on the Menu system, and are in the Green or Blue menus, how do you quickly go back to the 1st menu? I'll take another look at my R8 and see if I can figure that out as well as the multi function button and set that as ISO, which would be very helpful! Bill G.
I habe a genuine question. I an going to be starting nighttime photography soon and i was wondering what settings you recommended? For instance i am going to want to take a photo of this beautiful old theater with amazing lights and such, so i was wondering could whole area AF work for me if i were attempting to take a photo of the giant sign and everything around? Let me know please 😊
That's probably a limitation of your lens. If you look at the front of the lens, it will have an indication of the lowest number aperture it will be able to go down to.
You'll have to increase your ISO (make the camera sensor more sensitive to light) or set it to AUTO so the camera can find the best ISO, but higher ISO introduces more noise. Alternatively, you can also decrease your shutter speed to give more light a chance to get in, but that will also make it more likely to introduce camera shakes, so you may need to use a tripod.
Fantastic video, I learned a lot! One question, How do you know proper shutter speeds? As beginner I would not know that you need more than 1/20 for a stationary object.
Hi there, thanks for watching! while it depends on a variety of factors, starting at 1/125 is usually a good starting point. If you want to understand Exposure more or learn how to shoot better in Manual mode, check out our online course here!: www.rmsp.com/intro-to-manual-exposure
@leewyatt4311 for landscape you would be at around f/16 with a shutter speed fast enough to hand hold (or use a tripod). For Astro, you would be wide open and use a shutter speed as slow as possible without trailing your stars. Look up the NPF rule.
Hello sir ! I am soooo confused. In my country, right now, i have some deals for : Canon EOS R8 w/ 50mm F/1.8 -brand new with warranty from an official store - $ 2150 Canon EOS R6 Mk1 -brand new with warranty from an official store - $ 2160 Canon EOS R6 Mk2 - brand new - $ 3030 Canon EOS R5-
Yeah, that’s photography. It has to do with the actually Kelvin temperature of different light sources. Think of a flame, the blue part is the hottest, the orange is the coolest part of the flame.
Everything you show on a black camera is hard to see. This is because you have chosen a background that is too bright for the video, and the video camera cannot cope with this contrast. She tells you: "I can shoot either a bright background or a black camera with fine details."

Awesome, thank you!
This is great instruction for newbie like me, I love my R8 very much
I'm glad you're enjoying your camera!
Great video of the basics. Just what I needed to get into using my new Canon R8. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excelente gracias !!Understend
Thank you!
Finally a clip from which I learned a lot. Thank you
Glad to hear it!
Massive thanks for posting the video. It’s invaluable because I just purchased the R8 with a 35mm lens.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what a great tutorial. I subscribe and I'll be looking at a lot of your videos! Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching!
Bro, thank you. I needed this video so much ❤
Happy to help!
You did a great job
Thank you!
I shoot RAW with AWB since it looks better in the preview, and I’m going to set the WB in editing anyway. TY for the overview!
You’re welcome! Always happy to help.
Good job!
Thanks!
Very straightforward and practical for newbies. The best I’ve seen so far…bravo😊 I subscribed !
Welcome aboard!

Great channel
Thank you!

You’re welcome!
Sorry? Question? You said put it on servo and also on autofucus continuous?

I'd be on manual, and let your histogram guide your exposure decisions.
Hi! Thanks for much for the video. For some reason, my aperture won’t go below f5.0. How do I fix this?
That's probably a limitation of your lens. If you look at the front of the lens, it will have an indication of the lowest number aperture it will be able to go down to.
@@forestchaput thank you! Also if I’m in manual, and my iso is at 100, it’s super dark. How do I fix this?
You'll have to increase your ISO (make the camera sensor more sensitive to light) or set it to AUTO so the camera can find the best ISO, but higher ISO introduces more noise. Alternatively, you can also decrease your shutter speed to give more light a chance to get in, but that will also make it more likely to introduce camera shakes, so you may need to use a tripod.
TY for the video. Can we able to
Set Copyright information from
menu. I am not
Able to see that option. Where we can see?
Hmmm, I'm not sure if that's an option on the R8.

just bought this, what settings would be best for mountain photography and also astrophotgraphy
Hard to say without knowing which lenses you have.
@@forestchaput at the moment i juat have the kit lens and 50mm 1.8 prime lens
@leewyatt4311 for landscape you would be at around f/16 with a shutter speed fast enough to hand hold (or use a tripod). For Astro, you would be wide open and use a shutter speed as slow as possible without trailing your stars. Look up the NPF rule.
@@forestchaput cheers appreciate the response
hey, why my canon R8, no ISO 100 option.? the lowest is ISO 200
That's weird! Are you in manual mode?
Please make a video on how shutter speed and fps works in video.
Roger that.
I keep getting Err 20 when on SERVO…
Ensure your lens is fully attached. Maybe try removing and reinstalling.
Why do you say that the R8 has only electronic shutter? It's also got electronic first curtain shutter, which is partially mechanical.
True! However there is no "true" fully mechanical shutter.
Canon r8
Yes!
Hello sir ! I am soooo confused.
In my country, right now, i have some deals for :
Canon EOS R8 w/ 50mm F/1.8 -brand new with warranty from an official store - $ 2150
Canon EOS R6 Mk1 -brand new with warranty from an official store - $ 2160
Canon EOS R6 Mk2 - brand new - $ 3030
Canon EOS R5-
That's a tough one. I would probably go for the R8 and spend the extra money on lenses.
I buy a card for every camera I buy and format it . I messed a few cheaper card and switching cameras. No longer buy cheap card either
Always a great idea to format your cards!!
So this is just for photography. Would love it if you titled it "Best photo setting for Canon EOS R8."
Thanks for your input!
@@forestchaput You're welcome.
Why is blue called warm and orange called cool? that seems counter intuitive
Yeah, that’s photography. It has to do with the actually Kelvin temperature of different light sources. Think of a flame, the blue part is the hottest, the orange is the coolest part of the flame.
@@forestchaput got it! Thx. So much to learn.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I found it perfectly readable.
Great explanations nice and slow but when you show what to do on camera you go way too fast, I had to replay a million times to get the setting 😂
Noted!
