Hey there all you lovely people that watch my videos! I hope this one was helpful! If you like me to cover any particular topic in one of my upcoming videos why not voice your ideas in the comments! :) Until my next video, toodles!
What focus type settings would you use for outdoor shoots? I have a 70-300mm lens and I want to have the four models plus their surroundings in frame. Large Zone AD?
I assuming it's a video shoot you are doing with the models, instead of worrying about the focus settings, I'd start by closing down the aperture so that the focal depth is wider/bigger - it'll give you a lot more flexibility and ensure that all your models will be in focus. Also since you'll be shooting outside, you won't need to worry as much about getting enough light into the sensor - so I'd start with a minimum 4.0/5.6 aperture. Also I'd consider sourcing a wider focal length with the lens, it's going to be challenge (unless you have loads of space to stand away from your models) to get them all in frame as well as their surroundings. Maybe consider a 50mm or 35mm... With regards to my focus settings, I tend to switch between single focus mode and tracking/facial tracking - 90% of the time it's single focus though... Hope this was helpful! :)
I do have another question my lens is a 10-18mm if I am shooting in 60frames I can’t change the aperture lower than 4.5 so what do I do? Sorry if it is a silly question. And the same goes for setting the frames to 24 frames. Do you have a solution for me?
@@1mangofruit so your aperture settings are determined by your lens rather than your camera. If you look at the top/front of your lens you should see additional numbers like 3.5-4.5, 2.8 or 1.8, and so on... All lenses have either a fixed aperture or a variable aperture. In your case you likely have a variable aperture lens meaning when your lens is at its widest - 10mm - the more open you can have your aperture, and as you zoom in to 18mm focal length, the more closed down the aperture will be, making the most it can be opened to is about 4.5 (or whatever is displayed on your lens). I hope that all makes sense.
Hey that's great info . I'm planning to get my 80d in the coming weeks . Still not sure if I should settle down for 80d or d7200. Won't be using the cam for video . Also can you should what the pictures would look like before and after the setting you mentioned in the video ?
The d7200 is still a great camera but if I had to choose and I did have to, I chose the 80d. I have no regrets. Like I said, both are great cameras but I chose the 80d.
I wish I had an 80d so I could follow along! I use my T5i and I love love it. I just subscribed because I love the aesthetic and everything just looks so goood!
+Vlogging Molly thank you so much Molly, glad you liked my video! I’m sure you could follow along, a lot of the changes I make could probably transfer to your T5i! Worth a try! 😊
+William meng oh great! And thank you! Learning how to use your camera is all part of the fun! If there’s anything in particular you’d like me to cover in a video let me know! 😄
Interesting I'm seeing other videos where they go two stops down on saturation and they take the contrast all the way down. I'll have to try your way too.
+The Textbook Travels thank you! 😁 Glad it’s helpful in some way! In video mode, if you press the Info button (to the right of the Menu button) a few times it should come up... If it doesn’t it may require some changes in the settings! I have it on a while so I can’t rememeber exactly!
Leah Barbour I am still discovering this cam,it's interesting to use the video mode,hope you will upload other videos during a night mode shooting,greets & keep up the good work Leah!
Great little video. The 80D is a killer camera. You do good work. I live in the US and always thought the rest of the world used PAL and was limited to 50fps until recently. I cant imagine life without 60 FPS 🤣 Feel free to check out how I use my Canon 80D on my channel.
+Dean Paauw do you mean Cinestyle? I tried and couldn’t get it working! So this is my work around and suggestion to anyone else having the same difficulty!

I just bought this camera but do not have as many options in my menu???
Jk flipped to manual and it shows much more options. I had it on scn
+Lana Marie haha! Great, delighted you were able to sort it! Enjoy your new 80D! 😄
What lens is that
It’s the Sigma 18-35 1.8f - a great lens!
I’m not seeing the video section on my camera. I’m going to the right spot but it’s not there ?
Hi Darcy! This is curious... 🤔 Have you made sure your camera is in manual mode?
You change your camera to video mode before to get into the settings?
Cool video and funny intro haha! Keep it up! I use this camera too for a lot of stuff!
Gracias 😄
Thank you so much!!
Good start to 2019!!! Success!!!
