amazing video, i had a lot of struggles before i bought my R6 model, i was thinking about A7 3 or some other cameras, but this video prooved me that i made a right decision :D
That makes me really happy to hear :-) I have a lot of R6 videos if you’re interested, but I can at least warmly welcome you to the R6 family. Don’t hesitate to ask me about anything and if you want me to cover anything specific in a future video just let me know.
I'm genuinely grateful and super happy for each and every one of my viewers, so who would I be, if I didn't try that :) Thank you Mikolaj for your encouraging words and support 🙏💙
At this point I’m still using my r6 for travel documentaries for over 3 years, the overheating issue is the only thing I hate sometimes, but has been a workhorse, put it through very though conditions I don’t baby my camera at all, I love the image quality and the reliability (besides the overheating)
Really helpful. Now with the R6 mk2 on the market, the mk1 is a even better deal. Thanks for explaining the nooks and crannies of this beast. I really like the impromptu style in the beginning. You are a natural!
Thanks, you too! It's always extra fun (and scary) to get feedback from fellow filmmakers :D I'm on the preorderlist for the R5m2. Will be exciting, but mostly film with my C70's.
Hey, just wanted to know how to enable the dual display (monitor + lcd) on the R6? And also does it require specific HDMI cables to enable this feature?
Thank you for the video. Helpful informative and with a sense of humour. It was very funny to see you put the camera in the fridge. Can you just clarify: for video you really need the external recorder, and secondly your video work was only with RF not EF lenses? Ef lenses no longer suitable? Thank you.
great tips. do you think it would it have overheated just with autofocus itself or was it because you were tapping the screen to keep telling it to autofocus?
Hello Per, I've had an R6 for over a year now but haven't used it for video that much. I recently volunteered to record a kids' event consisting of 5-7 min dances. Due to poor lighting I ended up using ISO between 1250 and 6400. Once I got home I found 5 annoying hot pixels in most of my clips. Reading online, this seems normal/expected and I get the feeling there is no reason to consider it broken... For photography it is fairly easy to deal with but how do you deal with hot pixels in video? Being a hobbyist, I usually stick to open-source software and have been using ShotCut recently. They have a spot remover filter but it is quite annoying to use. Perhaps there are better ways?
Interesting and nicely presented video, Man. I have a question. I hope you will reply?. I set my canon up for video use. Set the dial on the left. I think it's called : Aperture to : 1/50. F- stop to : 5.6. ISO : 100-ish. Sometimes there isn't enough light. So I raise the ISO. But the 1/50, changes. It won't stay 1/50, as I had set it previously. Is this normal? Can I record with the higher 1/50 for video and it be stable?
Nice video. At 5:53 you mention the low light capabilities and that it goes up to 102,400. Surely that high would make the noise an unusable shot. How high are you going with the ISO and still getting good looking shots? 6400? At what ISO was that restaurant shot done?
@@persvanstrom Oh wow, I think I never have gone more than 6400 being scared of getting too much noise. I remember on my 80D 3200 ISO had noise but usable, 6400 was too much. In the R6 6400 it's like 3200 on the 80D or even less noise. I need to do some tests with higher than 6400. Is it true that the camera has dual ISO when shooting in clog3?
Dual ISO for CLOG3 is only R6m2 unfortunatly. Sorry for th add, but if you check my manual focus video you have shots with different ISO (photo) and I range all the way up to 102400 and it still looks OK. The R6 is a low light, high ISO beast.
@@persvanstrom oh that's bad news, I read in another youtube comment that the original R6 also had dual ISO on Clog3. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check out out manual focus video
@@persvanstrom I can't find a video in your page that's about manual focus. Do you mean the one called "iso shutter speed and aperture explained"? In that one I watched you take some pictures in several ISOs but jumping from 6400 (which looks great) into 102.400 (which looks horrible haha). I need to do some video tests with ISO higher than 6400. When I shoot in Clog3 I get A LOT of noise even in 800 ISO compared to shooting in standard/neutral, etc at the same or even higher ISO. So I haven't been trying to shoot past 6400 in standard profiles and much less in clog3, but I need to give it a try.
Thanks for the video! So, is it true that is there a limited time of 25 minutes to shoot 4k 60fps? Did you have any overheating problems shooting 4k 60fps?
I use RR for videos and yes it overheats sometimes even lesser than 25 minutes depends on the temperature where you’re. I was shooting in a around 30 Celsius room and camera overheated at 18 minutes
@@persvanstrom yeah that's understood and appreciated. I am always looking for r6 footage that suits my eye more than a lot of the overly smoky footage r6 users seem to come up with. Your stuff is great and gives me hope - there is another youtuber called albertlights i think that makes some really good stuff and then there's a lot of funk. I did have at one point about 30 seconds of some wild ponies that was awesome but I cant find it anymore.... I recently bought a c70 and returned it as after just a few days. I have realized it is me that is the problem and not the camera so I think I'll do another year with the r6 and see if I can get better. gracias.
I got a few B-roll videos in the making and one of them will be a R6 vs C70 (as I got 2) and what the major difference is. I love my C70's, but I wish it was just a tad sharper. Love the more digital look the R-series gives. I might get some DZO for lone as well, will be really interesting to try them on my R6. Keep a look out for that video if that would interest you :)
I used both Smallrigs, Tiltas and lastly 8sinn. I got 2 rig videos in the making. One for R6 and one for my C70. That might be of help? Anything specific you would like me to cover in such a video?
Of course, you can change your R6 to R6m2. I just don’t think the minor upgrade in relation to the major cost is worth it. But that’s just my opinion 😊
@@persvanstrom Well, in fact, I immediately bought Mark 2 and knowing the benefits, I ask. Moreover, $ 500 is not such a large amount, but it eliminates many problems
but in general, yes, if you already have R6, then it probably makes no sense to change ... if you have the first camera, then it’s better to immediately take mark 2.
@@ПавелВладимирович-ь7ь it’s a newer an better camera for sure, but with all the sales and cash backs and used for m1, it’s hard to not still love the original R6. My point wasn’t to say M2 is not great, it is, but R6 still hold its ground.
Thank you for the great content. I don't find anything about cine lenes with R6 (I have mkii) Have you used any like Meike, Irix, even Canon with your R6?
Unfortunately not. I actually got a DZO lens for loan last weekend, but "forgot" to use it on my R6, only ran it on my C70's. But loved the lens, so will prob order a set and then I can run a test on my R6 if you like? Anything else you would want to know?
@@persvanstrom yes I will be interested to see your results with the dzo on the r6. The meike lens I have tried seems to disable the record function so no way to start camera. Thanks!
@@jaralol I am so curious about the M2, but decided to get a second M1 instead. I don’t think I will ever go back from shooting with two cameras. What an amazing experience.

Not necessarily. Just looking forward to cinema grade dynamic range of 15+ stops and more video assist tools and full hdmi lol@@persvanstrom
Hey, just wanted to know how to enable the dual display (monitor + lcd) on the R6? And also does it require specific HDMI cables to enable this feature?
Recording menu 1, tab 8, HDMI display. No, any HDMI will work 👍
Thank you so much🙏🏻
@@werlangbuhphang1841 just let me know if you need help with anything
I surely will, thank you for helping
Hey, when selecting the camera + monitor, it disables internal recording. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thank you for the video. Helpful informative and with a sense of humour. It was very funny to see you put the camera in the fridge. Can you just clarify: for video you really need the external recorder, and secondly your video work was only with RF not EF lenses? Ef lenses no longer suitable? Thank you.
Recorder gives you 30min+ that is the biggest benefit. If you don’t need that I prefer internal recording. I only use EF, don’t even own a RF lens 😅
great tips. do you think it would it have overheated just with autofocus itself or was it because you were tapping the screen to keep telling it to autofocus?
The screen most definitely

I would def contact Canon. Should not be hot pixels. Other than that, you already do what you can, post fixing
This camera is incredible. Just sold my Sony A7R2 and this looks like the replacement.
