I have to tell you, I bought the Canon R5 and was lucky to get it when it first came out. It was a retirement gift from me to me. I have always wanted a great quality camera and this was it. I am by no means an experienced photographer and have so much to learn. Your videos on my camera have helped me so much. I continue to come back to them for guidance. I can't thank you enough for helping me and giving me such joy in taking photos. I have yet to try the video but that is my next step.
Me too, I just retired and I just got the R5, My last Canon is the 5D mk III, so about ten years.
Same here ;)
Great tutorial. One minor point: Starting around 32:32 in the video you start talking about Shoot Menu 7, IS (Image Stabilization). In that discussion, you show using a camera with a lens that has the stabilizer switch on the side. If someone were following your video with such a lens (lens with IS) they might be confused because they would NOT see the IS menu item in the menu. When using a lens that has Image Stabilization, the in-camera IS menu item will not be visible. You will only see that menu option when you are using a lens that is a non-IS lens. To see the menu item, either put a non-IS lens on, OR just remove the lens. Then, once you turn IS on in the menu, and reattach any lens, IBIS will remain on regardless of what lens is attached (except certain lenses, such as some cinema lenses, IBIS will not be applied). Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone were to follow along and not know why there were not seeing the IS option in Shoot Menu 7.
TY! I was confused at this!
Jared - Just discovered reason to use 1.6X crop instead of full... I was in the zoo today and wanted to see how I would do with the R5 and only the 28-70 lens figuring that I had 45M pixels to use if I want to crop. What I found out was the eye tracking does not work all that well when the subjects are small. When I turned on the 1.6X crop, the frame was more full with the subject and therefore the eye tracking worked better. Just a scenario when having a shorter lens than you want (not ideal), it might make sense to use the 1.6X crop to get better focus and a useable picture rather than relying on cropping afterwards to a not in focus picture.
.....or just buy the right lens for the job...? 😆🤔
@@smithbrownjones Right. Thanks.... 😆 I was using starting to use the camera and I wanted to see how far 45MP would take me.
@@yschlussel I was mostly joshing. That being said, hope the 70-200 is serving you well. 👍🏻
@@smithbrownjones I'll admit, not exactly sure I know how you know I have the 70-200
@@yschlussel Lol. I guessed you'd done the right thing. It's a great lens. 😆
1:08:35 For "Release Shutter Without Lens," that's useful if you're using adapted lenses, or manual lenses that don't have any electronics at all.
Exactly. I learned that when I got my first Lensbaby!
🎉 yes. Blunder they don't seem to know that. Makes them seem less professional.
@@classact9144
I don’t think it makes them look unprofessional, it is a fact that if you never attach an adapted lens this question never arises.
I know this video is approaching 2 and a half years old, but I needed to throw out my thanks for this guide. I absolutely love the fact you use an external recorder to record the menus in your User Guides as opposed to simply recording the back of the camera the way everybody else does. I used your Canon 90D guide when I got my 90D and I just picked up a new R5, so I'm using this guide as I go through the menus on that. Your method/style makes familiarizing myself with the menus "Fro" much easier.
Just sold my 5d4 and am getting my r5 tomorrow and I'm unbelievably excited. Really just for the AF
Thank you for the video. Went from the Rebel T5i 9 years ago to the 6D Mii to the 1dx Mii, and just ordered the R5. You've really helped me through the years and I appreciate it!
It's hard to hit the right balance between being thorough and keeping things concise. You nailed it. Thank you.
Watched this when I got the camera, never needed another tutorial... until today after receiving a New R5 motherboard for my camera (was damaged in a big accident) I knew where most things I needed during shooting were, but forgot what were the important things i needed to change
AND THIS GUIDE HAS LITERALLY SAVED ME DAYS OF LOOKING LIKE A FOOL with incorrect settings. went through it. changed my settings. and now I have my camera perfectly ready to shoot again
Just picked up a used Canon R5 and this walk through was an absolute lifesaver. I have no knowledge at all of photography and cameras - and this helped give me the confidence boost I needed to feel more comfortable with the camera already. Thanks Jared. 😊
I just took mine out of the box and watched this video. Super helpful!
I’m not kidding, it’s very big of you to make such a basic video. I am not a beginner, but there wasn’t anything like this when I was. I’d just add that the camera should always “off” when changing lenses or no cover on front of camera.
Finally! I've waited for so long for this, thanks, Jared.
So. The unboxing ritual. That's fun. Smell test. Wind tunnel test. Those are fun. Charging the battery, initial card formatting. Clicking around a bit. All fun. Searching TH-cam for R5 tutorials, looking for trusted advisors. Jared Polin has a tutorial for the R5. It's long. That's okay. It might even be a good thing. And so it is. Nice work, Mr. Polin. E X T R E M E L Y useful. I admire the way you were yourself as you went through the functions. Your admitting mistakes lent credibility to the other comments. Thanks for the great work.
Great video Jared! For the Film Plane Indicator or the Sensor Plane Indicator, it is usually this is used in film production so that focus pullers can mark out exact distances for talent to be from the sensor. For example, if they put a ‘mark’ on the floor 10ft from the Film Plane Indicator, they know that if they set the focus of their manual focus cinema lens to 10ft and the actor “hits their mark”, they will be in perfect focus.
Your cadance, tone, and style are great. To put it simply, you don’t annoy me. Your vids can be in the background playing for hours. I keep rewinding because I get busy with my 9 month old or keep going into the camera to adjust it to your suggested settings.
Thank you!
Hey Jared, the mark on the top of the camera to show where the sensor is located is for when you are pulling focus on a high five or nucleus or other ring system off camera from a monitor, you use that mark to determine focus distances. Coming from a 2nd AC I see my 1st use that mark as a measuring point on almost every shoot especially on fs6 and Arri systems
Thanks!
I just acquired the R5 and this video you put out was very helpful. Being that I am a Canon guy, alot of the settings were pretty familiar and basic to me. However there are some new menu items and or functions, that are new, and you explained everything really well. This camera is a huge upgrade for me, and I am looking forward to shooting with it, and tweaking the settings to make it more personalized for my tastes. Thanks Jared
As usual great video Jared, thanks for putting this together! I’ve just upgraded to an R5 from my trusty 90D and couldn’t be more excited to get it out in the field 🤩
Thank you very much Jared for all the detailed reviews, opinions, tips and tricks. I finally pulled the trigger and got R5 with 24-70 F2.8. My hands are actually shaking while holding it, I'm so excited. So much to learn!
I just got the R5 and needed to see this badly, thanks sooo much!
00:16:22 The sensor line is there for people to measure minimum focusing distances from the sensor. Can be very useful for macro and other types of shooting.
It’s almost like Jared has no idea what he’s talking about
Just outside my first year and moving from the EOS RP to the R5 and this is super useful. Thanks for making this video.
At the 1:08:35 mark, the “Release Shutter w/o Lens is also needed for when you’re shooting with adapted manual lenses like the Helios.
I also play with pinhole lens cap photography which needs this setting.
#igotit
You said “select start” at the end. Most people just say start except those of us who played with two players!
Also great video. I usually glance right past the user guides but this one keeps a great pace and is easy to understand. Great job!
Thanks for the video. I just got my R5 two weeks ago and still figuring out all the settings. Your video was a big help and yes I did watch the entire video but not all at once.
Buying a R5 this week to replace my R and this is awesome 👏
There is a philosophical point about monochrome. It is like a commitment where you throw away the colour info to force you to consider the monochrome aspect at the time you take the photo. Not the same when you do it in post.
Hi Jared, excellent information as always, thanks for that. The focal plane sign is inherited from old film cameras, especially plate cameras, where to obtain precise focus, the distance between the subject and the focal plane, that is, the film plane, was literally measured with a measuring tape. Today in certain conditions, especially in macro photography it could be useful.
@froknowsphoto, that symbol indicating the location of the sensor (focal plane mark) is where the minimum focus distance for any lens regarding its size starts, great video, just got my r5 today.
This is EXACTLY the kind of video I was seeking. Thank you from the heart.
A thorough and expansive video. Been listening to your podcast every Friday. Thank you for everything you do.
Fro this video saved me a Ton of time. Switch from a t5i to a R5C. I do photos so this explained the photo side very nicely. Much thanks!!
If anyone is scratching their heads at 32:35 regarding IS mode not showing up. You will NOT see this feature in non video mode if you have a IS lens mounted. See manual = [IS mode] is not displayed when an IS-equipped lens is attached.
RELEASE SHUTTER W/O LENS
Well it is of course for manual adapters and lenses, e.g. adapting very old ones. Which is VERY useful in the mirrorless world.
The sensor plane mark is important when setting up your tripod plates for precise panorama shooting.
Yep, you use it in combination with the turning point of your tripod to avoid parallax issues in panorama shoots.
Very useful. Thank you! Upgrading from Canon 7D. Quite a significant amount of changes!
Just received a new R5 today and this was the first video I watched. It was super helpful as I'm upgrading from a 5D MK iii. Thanks a lot!
Me too Lol.
love from bangladesh🇧🇩, although don't have any camera but learned lots of things from you😍
The film plane icon was used in some macro photography where you can measure the distance from the subject to the film. Usually done with a bellows on a tripod. Perhaps product photos.
Great Stuff. Thank you. Just got my R5C and I thought no problem I came of a 6Dmk2. Wow, did they just expand so many options. My old camera was only 4 years old, this is a different animal. And I haven't even started yet on the video part. Thanks again Jared.
This video is awesome. I appreciate the walk through of all the settings. I'd love to see more specifics on settings you change when you are out shooting video content.
GREAT. soon i will replace the Canon R with this one.
The line is for showing you where the sensor is. You can measure out distance for proper focusing for photos, videos or testing the lens accuracy. Not really used much these days but if your keeping records for possible re shoots especially for effects can be beneficial. Just thought I'd share thanks for all the content I use your luts on a daily 👍 😀
This is a very helpful guide. I could have figured it all out myself, no doubt, but the explanations are generally good, and the guidance about how to set the settings is very useful. Especially for that intimidating first screen of the AF settings.
Many thanks for this fabulous video Jared. My poor 5D Mk4 is having erratic focussing problems, so my darling partner is buying me this R5 for a birthday present for me. I am over the moon delighted. I've just ordered a 256gb CFexpress memory card to go with it, plus 2x extra batteries .. Joy oh joy ..
Este video es magnífico! Se agradece la energía!!.... Lo ví completo, de a poco. Llevo 4 meses con mi EOS R5 + RF 100-500 y la combinación es perfecta para fauna silvestre.
Esta revisión es la más completa y directa que he visto y se aprecia tú profesionalismo.
Gracias nuevamente... saludos desde Talca, Chile :)
Yeees, been waiting for this one! Thanks, Fro!
#igotit ... lol Fro, thanks for the walk through. It's not like I've never set up a camera, BUT sometimes you miss a step. You covered it all and I appreciate it. I just got an R5 and I'm super excited to use it. Thanks!!!
I can’t seem to put auto focus in servo, it is in manual Jared, but I hope to figure it out and get out there and take pics tomorrow! So grateful for all of your time to break this all down. 😘
Ah Ellie, it’s in servo face slash etc like we set it, onward
This was a wonderful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
with the line for the sensor mentioned at 16:15 I'm not sure but a lot of cinema cameras have a similar feature as a lot of cine lenses use measurements from this point for focus and you can use this mark to run a tape measure to work out your focus so might be along these lines. i know the C70 has a hook instead of this line for attaching a tape measure.
Super helpful overview. Much appreciated! ready to try my new R5.
coming from Nikon DSLR and cosidering switching to mirrorless and changing the system to Canon, the R5 seems almost too good to be true, especially the AF and the EVF. Your profound video clarified almost everything. The rest will be learning by doing! Thanks! 👏🏻
i like the way he describes something. its fun and less complicated that my brain can easily process what he means 😄😄😄 thank u jared ! happy to find this channel. i subscribe it right away
have had the R5 for a while and found a lot of useful info here, but i think the touch and drag is when the camera is up to your face you can use your finger to drag to select your desired AF point while looking through the viewfinder, here its described as just selecting via the touchscreen.
#igotthisfar
Hi Jared. thanks for this video. very helpful. i just ordered the R5 yesterday. stay safe out there.
From what I was told years ago, it has to do with measuring lighting distance to the actual shutter in the camera, and you would put a mark on the floor for either where the actor(s) would go or the where the light(s) should go. In cinema (at least they used to) set the light(s) by measuring from that mark/icon. Again, that’s what I was told years ago, in the ancient days, before digital.
Also useful in cinema for focus pullers as that is where the focus ring measurements are marked from
Just bought my R5, amazing camera and moving from a Fuji XT-3 this video was really helpful, thanks so much, great video,.
Made it to the end. While I have no plans on getting the R5 in the near future, I always like watxhing/listening to these Users Guides as a way of learning about features I didn't know these cameras had, or as a way of explaining features on the Canon cameras that I do have. #Igotthisfar
Saved this in my folders!!! Appreciate all the videos and help!
The Sensor demarcation line on top is for Measuring focus. Throw back to Manual focus, probably more for Video use.
Just picked up an R5 and this video was super helpful, thanks!!!
Nicely done Jared. Trying too make my way into stills again. A lot has changed in 12 years. This saves me a lot of time. I have skimmed over the manual a few times, but Canon often doesn't tell the significance of a setting, just what it is. The value add helps lot... And, I shoot Raw now myself. However, have you ever gotten strange artifacts in raw?
The sensor mark is important if your going to physically measure distances for focus
Just got my R5. This was amazingly helpful!
Phew..! An epic feature length video, but very useful, basically saves me reading/printing the 900+ page user guide pdf manual, thanks!!😀
FYI: release shutter w/o a lens is used whenever you adapted lenses (manual) that the camera doesn't recognize. This is what I need to do in order to use my M lenses.
Grateful to you Jared, setting up with you right now
One use for that sensor plane marking is for your focus puller or 1st Ass't camera to take a focus measurement with a tape measure. (At least that's how we used to do it on our old Arri SR film cameras.)
Running 1.4.0 . I have noticed that some features don’t show up depending on the lens, and some of the features are moved. Had to stop several times to find where and why some things moved or not there completely. Your video was very helpful. Thank you!
Excellent- been waiting on this one. Thanks Jared 👏🏻👏🏻
#igotthisfar. Wow I was stumpted with the video settings. Was paused for 15 minutes because I was only getting 8K options only and that was because one of the options after that setting was disabled so only 8K was showing and that wasn't easy to find what I was doing wrong. Great tutorial. I appreciate the time this took since you were the factor in buying the r5 vs the other Canon cameras. Appreciate it. 25 years a videographer (with video cameras) now moving to dslr cameras...
This was awesome! Exactly what I needed for a new R5 user!
Long exposure noise reduction doesn’t “smooth” images. It takes a second blank exposure to eliminate hot pixels common during long exposures. You absolutely should leave it on.
Thanks! I refer back to this video anytime I need to know something about my R5 cameras. I just purchased an R5C and of course the first thing I looked for is a users guide from you. Did you ever make one and I'm just missing it?
the mark is usually for cinema cameras that do not have a ttl viewfinder , you need to know where the sensor/film is to accurately focus the lens, you would use a measuring tape and measure from that icon and then you would know the subject is in focus since you cant see it thru the viewfinder, not sure why it's on a digital camera though, everything is auto, unless maybe if your using an old canon cinema lens or something, kind of weird
The infinity kinda mark is there to help you calculate focusing distance if you’re going to manually set it.
Yes I got this far. Great video very professional. Thanks you are the real deal.
Thank you Jared!!! Awesome Video for the R5! Easy “Real World” review!!! Great content that us R5 “Newbies” can use!
@jared Polin Thanks for the Video, just got the R5 today and this is exactly what i needed. :) on a side note Kelvin is measured in absolute numbers so it’s “5600 Kelvin” not “degrees Kelvin” just for future reference since you deal with color temperature all the time. Thanks again for the great videos.
The sensor signal is common in cinema cameras. For example, you can take a focus measurement manually with a tape measure.
Loved this! Best R5 video by far! Learned loads and now more confident is getting the best out of the camera. Watched the whole thing!
Thanks - very helpful. A lot of changes since this video was posted as Firmware now ver 1.6
It's here, the R5 guide!!!
Thanks Jared, now I'm real excited about getting my R5 tomorrow:)
I think the reason they have as standard " release shutter without card" is to allow the cameras that are on shops to be tested and take photos without the card, since if there is a card is easy to steal it. But yes, it's the first thing i change on my camera menu, and it would should start with that off, and it should be hidden on the menu. :)
certainly true, but it should be off by default. It makes no sense to enable by default a dangerous feature for 0,01% of use case
Petition for an 8 hour video series explaining all the settings of the camera in detail 🙋🏼♀️ (unless this already exists in which case please let me know) 🌸
I think the R6 really is the best choice for most photographers. It's very capable.
Are use the AF-ON button for eye detection and the*button for spot focus. Works like a champ and then I just keep eye detection disabled because it works on the thumb button.
Quick question. Are you wearing stretchy jeans? And if so is it because they don't overheat?
Thanks for this. Love my new R5 and this helped a LOT.
I really appreciate the detail in this video. Great job!
I've looked all over for this answer without luck, but is there a way to set the camera flip display to show active audio levels WHILE recording?? I found a work around to see them on a different menu screen, but not while recording. Thanks!
the line of the where the sensor is ... is for a geek use like mettering subject distance for exact focus distance
i believe that's for the focusing distance tecnicly or for the confusing point AND nodal point things
Great video I enjoyed watching parts of it even if I don’t have a R5. I guess u expect non pro’s buying this camera hence why u did a users guide. I remember u said once there is no point making a users guide for a camera that pro’s would buy. Anyhow great video.!!
Thank you. I need basic and obvious. First digital camera outside of phone and there's too much to know.
I got it! Thank you for your quality videos... they are always helpful..
