I am going to pick up the R7 this week either new or used. I want two lenses i am thinking 100 400 for my nature photography with a little distance then a nifty 50 or a mackerel lens for insects bees flowers etc? Thoughts?
wow - I wish I have seen your video nearly two years ago when I first bought the R7. excellent ! clear explanation. Only issue - my problem obviously - you talked a bit too fast :) But II managed ! Is there a transcript of your demo ? Thanks agin. NOw I have to see if you have a similar greaet video explaining the metering and AF with the R7. Thanks again !👌👌👌
@@AndyFeliciotti May I ask if you have any video explaining how to best utilize the autofocus option with the R7? and also what is your most useful focusing points option ? thanks again
So happy to have helped! I hope you enjoy the R7 also, if you have any other photo questions feel free to let me know! Always looking for new video ideas.
Hi Andy, great video but I'm still struggling and need to know how to setup the camera ISO when not shooting video in CLOG. I am constantly riding the ISO for video when shooting different shots and sometimes get overexposed/underexposed. I appreciate any help!
Hey Andy- thanks for keeping this so clean and simple. Bought the R7 creator kit for my wife (we are novice videographers but expert marketers😊) and I’m not getting the results with the kit lens I hoped for. Should be easy but confused with so many options. She literally sits at her desk like you in this video and records course videos etc. Tripod mounted- excellent lighting (we have full Elgato key light setup including the control pad. Is there a better lens that we should be using in your opinion? It’s mostly the crop we are challenged with. Her office is a converted bedroom and I’m needing to set tripod a country like away to get her torso.
Hey Josh, I would consider the Canon RF 16mm pancake lens for this setup (which will be wider than the kit lens). It's F/2.8 so it'll bring more light in and be around a 24mm equivalent so it should work decently for the small space. Plus it's a good price! What specifically are you having issues with the kit lens? are you all using manual settings? could just be auto making weird results.
@@AndyFeliciotti thanks! No, we seem to be in good shape with the video itself - it’s just the crop that’s we haven’t been able to overcome. We are messing with it this weekend and will report back results. I really appreciate the speedy reply!
You may want to consider getting the new RF-S 10 -18mm kit lens. I just got it and it's very small and not too expensive ($329). It's equivalent field of view to the 16-29mm on a full frame sensor.
hi sir big fan from India. i had issue with live screen mode on r7 as i click shutter speed button the live mode dispperars and info page opens up.any solution for this.Thanks
Is your camera connected to a dedicated monitor? I have tried without succes to use an Android phone as a monitor, no matter what settings I use it doesn't show. I have even tried every available app. Luckily I connect using the wifi settings and it works great.
What if your streaming church services? What do you recommend for as set up and settings on the camera? Btw, BH photo is AWSOME their shipping is so dominant man which is why I keep buying things from them they have everything!!
Specific to this camera? I think this paired with the RF-S 18-150mm would give you a good range for services. If you are specifically only using a camera for services though I would probably recommend researching PTZ cameras so you can control the show via a computer instead of manually zooming in/out. There are some newer affordable ones from Canon. B&H rules! It does blow my mind how fast they ship stuff.
@@AndyFeliciotti thanks! I have a cannon R7 it does great! But I’m using a camlink, and I can’t figure out why it keeps going out about 25-35 minutes in the screen just goes black! so I have to unplug and plug it in then hit deactivate activate any ideas to fix this? I don’t know if it’s the camera or camlink. Have you heard of this happening before?
@@CreatedNewMinistries Is your HDMI output option set to [Camera+TV] and auto power off switch to disabled. If you go to page 419 of the EOS R7 manual you'll see a small note HDMI output 30 minute+ streams.
@@AndyFeliciotti oooo so your talking about the switch on top of the camera right? If so I don’t I have it on video mode and on auto. Yeah cause we streaming church services and we need it. So you have to have it on camera mode and not video?
@@CreatedNewMinistries You are mis-understanding, it should be in video. But there is an "HDMI output" option in the menus that should be set to (the camera icon) + (the TV icon).
I use the r7 for live-streaming sport via the HDMI out and a switcher. No matter what settings I disable it goes into a stand-by mode after 30 mins. Do you know why this is happening and how I can stop it??
@@AndyFeliciotti no actually the issue is the setting when you have HDMI plugged in. I had it so it would only display on the hdmi however if you change the setting to be the camera back screen and hdmi it won’t time out
Great video 👍🏻 About the Auto Level, tried it today and was confused when done if my shooting modes where not working anymore. So the Level only works on mechanical shorter and Aldo not on H and H+
Hey Sean, I can't tell if this is a question but you'll find the format card option in the first setup menu (the wrench), and firmware update in setup menu 6.
Hi can you help me...i have Canon r7 and i bought laowa 15 mm f2 lens...and when i want make panorama photo i cant do it. ( maybe can i make panorama wit autofokus lens ? ) 😢
Sorry Sean! Always tough for me to find a good balance of speed, hopefully the titles popping up in the side to let you know what we were changing helped!
I hate these how-to that just discard JPEG as if it was plague. I use both JPEG and RAW. Of course RAW is better to recover shadows, highlights and manipulate colours. There is time I want to do that. But often time RAW is just adding a lot of work while the JPEG is actually good and with little tweaking you get a good image. So when you start your tutorial with "Of course you want to shoot RAW" ..... you loose a lot of credibility. Not true that everybody what to spend hours in front of the computer to process a bunch of RAW every time you shoot. JPEG have a place, so does RAW. And there is HIF also, which the old-timer shooters simply ignore because they don't understand it but it is an interesting option as well. A sunrise or sunset in HIF is hard to beat if you have proper hardware to display it.
man that casual camera throw in the intro had my heart dropping 👀
Breaking: Local man now in debt to B&H photo 😂
Just bought the r7 today. Thanks for this video! I also watched your video on the r50 when I had that. Youre the best
Happy to hear that 🙌 I hope you enjoy the camera and thanks for the kind words about my guides
Thank you. I found having autolevel off helped me with faster auto eye track etc
Great video for a Canon newbie like me - thank you so much! 🙂
You're so welcome!
Man gotta say thanks, really...I mean how much time and energy would I use to find this knowledge...Thank you for sharing, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome walkthrough Andy! Very helpful!
So glad you liked it Steve! Such a fun camera.
you are the absolute best!!!! thank you

Thanks for watching! I wish you luck taking pictures on your new R7 📸
Excellent presentation. Really helped me set up my R7. Now go see what else I need help on. LOL

In that case the 16mm may be perfect for the use! I haven't gotten my hands on that lens but seems like it'd be a good fit.

@@rayl801 Second this comment.. the RF 10-18 is awesome for wide angle and super easy to get full field of view in a small space
Is this setting good for sports like football and basketball?
For wedding photographer ,photo sessions and short clips ,it is a good choice ??
I would think so! If a cropped sensor works for your use case it basically has every feature.
hi sir big fan from India.
i had issue with live screen mode on r7 as i click shutter speed button the live mode dispperars and info page opens up.any solution for this.Thanks

I haven't tried it but using HDMI shouldn't be an issue for doing this.
What video setting do you recomend for shooting slow-mo video/broll or fashion videos.
I would use a high frame rate like 4k 60fps or 1080p 120fps
Hello Andy, thanks for the video.
Question: what shooting mode the camera has to be to do video configuration?
For video you likely want to be on shutter priority.
What if your streaming church services? What do you recommend for as set up and settings on the camera? Btw, BH photo is AWSOME their shipping is so dominant man which is why I keep buying things from them they have everything!!

Is the IBIS only for video, or with it turned on the Digital IS will this work for still photographs? I just got the R7 and it’s not clear firm 1.3.1
IBIS on the R7 will function in video and photo mode, digital IS is only available in video modes. Hope that helps!
I use the r7 for live-streaming sport via the HDMI out and a switcher. No matter what settings I disable it goes into a stand-by mode after 30 mins. Do you know why this is happening and how I can stop it??
Do you have eco mode on?

@@janechurchill1906 thank you Jane! I get the question a lot and I was never 100% sure causes it
@@AndyFeliciotti canon USA got back to me about it - settings are on page 419-420 of the pdf manual

could get the screens for frimware up or even SD card - didn't go to the section to format and didnt know how to get to there

I followed your instruction, but it completely messed up. I need to reset completely.
Thank you for the information, bye the way, why my camera eos r7 the screen freeze,thank you
You’re welcome! Happy it was helpful. Does your screen freeze frequently? I would recommend contacting Canon
You missed HDR Mode🙂
GRAZIE
Happy to help!
went through a little too fast- had to keep pausing and rewinding- beginner and would like more explanation

Great point! In my newer setup guides I do mention that if you don't want to edit photos you likely want to keep it on jpg.
I recommend you remove the music in the background. It's very distracting
Thanks for the tip!
Man, you talk so fast...
It’s true!
speaks too fast hard to follow
Slow down. You talk and go so fast.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try next video
Your going to fast
There is also an article version in the video description if you want to go at your own pace
Hi, is concise though, you speaking too fast, speak slower will be ideal...🙏
