Without doubt one of the best tutorials I have seen on TH-cam. Thanks so much for taking the time to put these together you've really helped me understand this great camera. Thanks again.
@@thuryn.mitchell I weighed the pros and cons and the features of both. I didn’t like the idea of an adapter ring so I got to keep my lenses. The only real advantageS i see to a full frame over a DSLR is weight and the low light shooting with a frameless. I do mostly outside street photography and indoo macro which I control the light. The 90D is an impressive camera
@sparking._.alzz._.9541 I have since sold the 70D and upgraded to the 90D. The 70D was an amazing camera till the day I sold it, snapshots and video. The 90D adds wifi connection and better focusing as well as higher MP.
ZY Productions, I have watched all of the Tutorials, from Training Video 1 to Training Video 17. I will like to say a big thank you to you. I used to have a Canon EOS 600D, and then i upgraded to a Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I needed a second camera body (just as backup, and not really for every time use). So i went for the Canon EOS 70D. I needed to go through the functionality the camera offers. A bit different and I like to know all the details of my gear. Your tutorials are: very straightforward Clearly articulated Legibly presented, avoiding jargon, and you took your time explaining every fine detail. Well done. I recommend this channel to serious photographers who like to understand their gear and get the best out of their equipment. :-)
This is an excellent series of tutorials. I bought the D70 yesterday to upgrade from the T2i (550D). These videos help me to familiarize myself to the new features of the 70D without having to figure it all out for myself! Thanks, and keep up the great work!!!
Thanks to watching this video, I can finally start my college assignments, my department is giving me this camera and now I'm psyched to start actual photography.
I agree with all these other people who said this was hands-down the best tutorial for beginners on TH-cam!!! I am looking forward to watching more of your videos to learn about settings. This was a phenomenal video on what each button is and how it works! 🙏💜
Thank you so much for a wonderful series of videos! I tried to learn to use this camera from the manual and found it totally useless and confusing. I was in despair until I found your videos. They're very clear and extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
I have looked at a number of cameras and training videos/reviews for Canon cameras, as I have considered a few, but this is by far the best and easily beats the instruction manual. It is extremely thorough and detailed; thanks for the enormous amount of work that you put into it.
I got this camera a couple of months ago and have struggled retaining info from the manual for anything other than the most rudimentary functions. Your video was great. Focusing on the camera so that we could see what you were describing was very helpful. I look forward to watching more as a new subscriber.
This camera was so daunting when I got it a month ago that I was afraid to use it! Finally figured out most things reading the manual today then I found this informative video. Excellent! Thank you so much for posting. Now I just have to start using this beautiful camera!
Thank you so much for producing these videos! They were very helpful! I watched all 17 and will definitely review them again when I need to refresh my memory on certain topics.
Lucky me!! I came across your whole collection of tutorials on the 70D this morning from searching How To Shoot In B&W. I paid £45 to Creative Live for the 70D camera course and found it as dry as B.Airways sandwich, deadly, jaw breaking yawning boring and not that good. So I've watched most all and just want to thank you for your enthusiastic, lively and easy to comprehend set of tutorials.
Just bought the 70D. Along comes a manual with 400 pages. To be honest, your video's where a lot more understandable. Thank you for these very helpfull video's.
Almost skipped this basic intro since I am a long time Canon camera user, but just bought 70D. Glad I watched this, learned several things I never knew that applies to other Canon cameras as well (e.g., what the white vs. red button means for the lens). Learned even more about the 70D, will be watching your other videos as well. Great work, easy to understand with quality video and audio. Thanks much!
Great job dude, super helpful, I've been at this for 35 years now, and still have my two 35MM cameras, but DSLR is a new world and you help me understand that new world. Thanks SGB...
I rarely like and sub to people with these types of videos but this is so helpful! You went through each feature with detail and i have never owned a DSLR before. this really gave me a better understanding! Thank you so much! Keep it up :)
Thanks for the Super educational video series! Before I was skeptical about video series, not a big fan of follow video by video. But after your Part 1, it was well produced, I needed to watch the rest of the series. The series provided a lot of contents. As matter of fact, it was even better than Canon USA official video 40's minutes. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this video! I just got my very first camera and it's this certain one. Watching a video like this makes things a lot easier. I'm having troubles understanding readable manuals... Thank you!
OK. Here's the harsh truth. I'm stupid. But you make great videos for stupid people! You take no knowledge for granted. Many other videos assume that the student knows how to use aspects of the camera, which can leave you futilely trying to figure out how to enable a function that you're trying to learn about. You, on the other hand, use a true step by step method. You should get an Academy Award for making training films for dopes. From the bottom of my heart-- thanks.
GJ Buddy! Very quick and a nice over view! I am an old pro so I just want a quick over view on the new things! Your video is short and too the point looking forward to the rest!
Hi Thankyou so much for making these videos I have just watched them all and they have been so helpful. Especially the Auto Focus and AF Points I now understand allot better.
ZY! Have been through your entire Canon 70D play list. OUTSTANDING! Its saving me a lot of time and will continue to be a ready reference.Would like to have seen more on shooting video, but I understand that this section of the play list was intended as an introduction. In particular, I would like to see a chapter on how to "pull focus" using the touch screen --- all the way from turning on the camera, on. Have you treated shooting video in more detail, elsewhere ? Again, very good work. Thanks
+Dan Little th-cam.com/video/dE9zx_SSFyk/w-d-xo.html There's this slightly older video I did sometime back on video shooting ;) Will definitely make more videos in the future about video shooting :)
Well done, very professional and very helpful. I have recently purchased an EOS 70D and would like to learn more about using this camera and how to take awesome shots. Do you have anymore training videos?
Thanks for the overview. Yesterday when I clicked the top AF button, I could adjust between Ai servo etc. But now when I am viewing through the LIVE view and press the AF button on top, the AF options of Tracking, Flexizone Multi/Single and AF Quick appear on my screen, and I can no longer change the Ai Servo, Ai Focus or One Shot.. Ideas on what setting I must've adjusted to make this happen when in LIVE view? This does not happen when viewing the camera without the Live view.
This is exactly what I was looking for. But I did not find even after searching here for days. Tonight I just saw this on home page. You not only explained but also showed each and every control in detail and in close up. Thanks ! I want to ask you about shooting a video from DSLR. Like many said while using Canon, Nikon DSLR, videographers have to change the focus manually and its skill. But they have to use manual focus only due to delay in focus when at Autofocus mode. Even you have to do the same here. I want to know how is Canon while taking a video in Autofocus ? I feel you used manual focus while shooting this one.
I use manual focus for video 90% of the time. Autofocus for video used to be unpredictable and unreliable. However, now with the Dual Pixel CMOS tech, the autofocus for video is actually very useable. I don't find myself using it too often, but I will not deny that it is very handy at times. Manual focusing will give you complete control over the focus pull. And remember, if you're shooting something like a short film, the AF will not be able to anticipate the movement of your subjects like you can.
Perfect answer, cleared all my doubts. Yes I asked this question while keeping in mind the Dual pixel camera from Canon and the Translucent mirror from Sony. And yes I'm looking forward to make a short film, hence, I have such doubts. You read my mind 😊
One of the first things you mentioned was how to get the pop up flash. Now you have to understand this is all brand new to me but I was wondering about the flash and where it was (I honestly thought I had to buy an external flash), so I pushed the button and .... nothing. I see where it is suppose to pop up but it doesn't. Is there some kind of setting it is suppose to be on to get it to pop up? Thanks for your help and the awesome video.
Nevermind, I got it to work, but I had to do some jiggling but eventually it pops up and flashes when its required to do so (first time, yeah!!) but it still doesn't pop up when I hit that release button you showed but maybe thats a setting I need.
I just got a 70D for shooting real estate photography. Well I need to be able to adjust the exposure while in HDR mode but I can't see the adjustments being made live in the LCD screen. Is that possible? Any advice will help!
I have subscribed to your Channel I would like to know what are the best lenses for a beginner for close up and far away pictures and video. and I also have a question I was going to get the Canon t6s but I got the Canon 70D was that a better choice yes or no and why?
Hi, I always found you review interesting and bought canon 650D earlier and now 70D. I just want to ask you that is there any meaning of 'Feature Guide' enable or disable (in setting menu 3 in canon 70D) because I enable or disable it wan't shown information about current shooting mode in LCD panel. Even though i rotate mode dial LCD is always blank. I have to always click info button to check the current shooting mode.

Here in 2024!! Loving my pawn shop find! It was new with a case ❤ thank you for the series of tutorials
Thank you so much, have just bought the 70D and needed this course
Without doubt one of the best tutorials I have seen on TH-cam.
Thanks so much for taking the time to put these together you've really helped me understand this great camera.
Thanks again.
I have owned this camera for over a year. And your video showed me things I never even realized 👍. Thanks for walking through everything in detail
@@thuryn.mitchell I recently upgraded to the 90D. Even better 🙂

you are the man! best guide ever. could even make a blind person understand how to use this camera :P
I just love your tutorial. I am really starting to get this now. I am a visual person, I have to see what I need to learn. Thank you so much!
it's 2023 and this video is very relevant, thank you.
It's 2024 and yeah this video is still very relevant

Thank you!
Excellent help for beginners! (so much easier than ploughing through an instruction book)
Thank you for doing these! I've had my camera for a few years, and relatively familiar with most of the controls, and I still learned a lot.
This is so good! I just enjoyed all of your 17 videoes on my great new camera.

You said what rest of us were thinking.
Oh my gosh, this a GREAT video! Thanks so much for putting all of the work into this; you should teach a class!
Excellent Video. I am getting my 70D on Wednesday. Thanks!

Cool video. I still like my 60d I just shot this film Dawn light
Ohh that blue/black sticker trick tho. Good stuff
Are you able to shoot video only through the viewfinder? Or do you need the LCD on at all times?
This is exactly what I was looking for. But I did not find even after searching here for days. Tonight I just saw this on home page. You not only explained but also showed each and every control in detail and in close up. Thanks !

compact, useful & very Informative. Thanks
Nice review, but I think you forgot to mention the depth of field button.
Thanks ZY Productions....
Great video, super helpful! thanks!!
Excellent, clear explanations. Thanks. One question, how is white balance adjusted since I didn't see a button for it on the body?
Hi, the 70D has no white balance button on the body so you will have to adjust it in the quick menu.

Somehow the auto focus that you use with the touch screen stopped working. Not sure what I did or need to do. Should I clear all settings?
