⚡I've been using this camera for quite a while now so I'm excited to share this quick guide! As always guys let's start the conversation here. Is this a camera you use or plan to use? Any features you love or hate? Ali
I have been looking for a backup camera for my 5D MK4. So I decided to have a faster camera (shutter) and I have read about the 1D MK2. The 1D would never have been a camera I would have been looking for, mainly because of the price. But I have found really good second hand cameras which have an attractive price. Looks like my 5D is now going to be the backup camera.
Thank you for putting this together, had the camera for a few weeks and loving it but, your video has really assisted. I am a wildlife photographer and some of the setting will be different to those for studio work but it gives a great around "how to use" the tech, buttons and setting this piece of kit has to offer. Excellent
Hi Ali! thanks for the video. I just started learning the basic for this mark 2. Do you have any idea how to transfer the photos/video to Laptop or Phone? thanks a lot! I can’t find the Communication setting for wifi or Mark 2 doesn’t have that?
Are you able to switch the video viewing when your taking video from the screen to the view finder to see what your videoing through the viewfinder and not the screen ?
Thanks for putting this together. Very helpful. One thing I can’t seem to figure out is how to display the histogram in video mode. I see where you cycle through the info button till it pops up but mine isn’t there. What am I missing?
Great Video - watched trying to sort out why my Canon 1D X MKII (just over 2 years old) was serviced by Canon as it started to eat up battery life - even on a brand new battery purchased last November 2021 Canon bought battery. All this started significantly on return from the service in January 2022 - sent it back and Canon after inserting a 100% charge new battery and leaving it on but not shooting anything - 12 hours later battery down to 9%.Canon are now saying it must be battery but have referred to user setting "Sleep Mode" which I cannot find?
Hey Graham, you're welcome. I'm not sure on the sleep mode to be honest, it might be worth taking it back to the service centre to see what they've done as I don't have experience on that. Good luck!
I tried to find out from various videos on TH-cam discussing the 1DX MKII. Looking to find out the focus performance at night, because my current job is sports photography which is mostly done at night with little light outdoors, does the 1dx mkii have good focus performance in low light?
Why can't you change metering modes in M? I can with my 6D. It's locked out. I found in the menu you can lock out the modes, but none of them are and I can select in other modes. Surely in M if you are using auto ISO you want to be able to choose metering??
@@YourHobbyDad I have the original 7d And 1dx II both are built fine .....The 1dxii is overbuilt so much so That canon said They couldn’t do Internal wi fi or Bluetooth becaise OF The bullet Proof 1dx metal bs argument . Canon Just Want u pay for WFT-e8a for STILL $599 Lamao
@@policeluber6720 Yeah, i dont really use the wifi function and i dont plan on getting that stupid thing. Otherwise for sports? 1dx is still the way to go.

Great overview how can I send sports photos from this cam to a client but I’m not at the olympics so no WiFi no Ethernet etc just 1dxii my MacBook and an external ssd the wtf ea8 ? Whatever it’s called? Or use a cable from my Ethernet in cam to laptop but my laptop doesn’t have a Ethernet port have to get a dongle
@@filmmakerali I purchased a mint MKII with less than 18K on the clock last May. A fully charged battery would be put in, but it would completely discharge in less than ten hours with the camera turned off. This is a recognised fault with the power management board on the MKII. Fortunately, I returned it to the reputed supplier and got a refund. They got it repaired and asked if I would like to buy it back, but the repair had cost them £570 and they'd added that to the asking price. I said no thanks.
Just got this camera and it's the most difficult to navigate camera ever. The 6D is so much easier to use. I can't even figure out how to change metering modes on this thing. And having the movie high frame rate as a separate selection in a menu to unlock 120fps is just stupid. Especially as it locks you out of then selecting the other speeds on the fly.
Hi i received Ali Kubba from TH-cam for a report copyright on a stream game on Battlefield V Hardline.... I think its a mistake but i would like to be clear.

Hey Ali, can you only record 4 GB at a time with this camera?
And how do you get rid of the autofocus noise?

No, because the mirror would have to drop, thus blocking the sensor again.

Most likely have GPS mode set to mode 2 with the gps on even with the camera off leading to battery drain with the camera off
Any video on how to replace the focus screen??
I'm not sure maybe on TH-cam there are

I have the 1dxii ....would you reckon the r6 is a worthy upgrade ? I’m into sport photo ....thx mate
Nope, sold my r6 and got second hand 1dx mk ii for sports.
@@YourHobbyDad why is that ? ?
@@policeluber6720 Durability wise i chose 1dx than r6, i shoot rain or shine. And i dont trust r6 in that matter. Otherwise it is good camera.

Thanks for this video! I bought a used 1DX Mark2 as a backup to my 5D MK4. This really helps a lot.
Very welcome!
The 1dx mii should be your workhorse it is a far better camera than the 5dmiv
@@forsterl.stewart414 Not if you are shooting weddings. That weight becomes a real burden. It's like bringing a tank to a go-cart race

Great video. Thank you.

Good day. I just bought 1dx mark 2 can anyone please teach me how to switch on the lcd screen. Thanks
