How do you like to set up your R7 for your style of photography? Tell me below!
Thanks for providing explicit details in a concise way. I do mostly bird/ wildlife photography, and I'm still experimenting to find the best C1 mode. Like you, my AF-on button is used for BBF with servo if button pressure is maintained. But my AE (*) button is used to turn on animal eye tracking (via register/recall shooting functions, which allows me to assign multiple AF options to a single button). Of course, if there are no eyes in the scene, the latter defaults to generic subject tracking. I don't know if it's true, but I was told that subject tracking is more responsive if you turn off eye recognition when there are no eyes in the scene, which sort of makes sense. So if needed, I can toggle eye AF off with the front DOF button. As it turns out, I don't miss the DOF function at all, but you can include with ExpSim if you find it useful. I use C2 and C3 for non-bird applications.
I'm glad you found parts of this video to be helpful.
It sounds like the way you thought out your button settings makes a ton of sense for what you do. I don't shoot much wildlife, but if I ever find myself doing it, I'm coming back to your comments here and I'm going to try it out your way.
I do have a RF600mm f/11 review I'm working on, so I may very well need to reconfigure my R7 layout like you have it.
Thanks!
You make logical sense. Nice video
Thanks for the watch!
Thanks a lot for this video. It is totally helpful for me to configure my R7. i just got it and I feel very confused with all the option to configure. So your video was nice helpful for my first steps. ... My dream is HDR putting on a button, but it seems it's to possibly.
You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful!
Nice. Thanks 😊
Thank you! And thanks for the watch!
I learned to use FV mode with the R6 shooting birds, wildlife and macro. With the R7 it's even more powerful and useful. It is manual mode with auto controls. With just the front dial and the rear wheel I can control all of my settings that matter without taking my eye from the viewfinder. Shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and iso with just my finger and thumb and no buttons.
The front dial adjusts all of those settings. The rear wheel right underneath your thumb moves the settings control icon across each of those settings in the bottom of your view finder or on the rear screen. For adjusting all of those settings that's it! In FV mode every setting is automatic until you change it. I set my shutter speed fast for action, leave the aperture at auto or wide open, and I use the rear wheel to move that adjustment icon over to exposure compensation. My iso is set on auto and I use the front dial to adjust my exposure compensation as I'm shooting. The rear wheel shifts the adjustment icon to whatever setting I want to adjust. If I tap the trash button that setting goes back to automatic and will be underlined. If I hold down the trash button longer all the settings go back to automatic. Using tracking with eye auto focus on the front button and back buttons just used for single point or to drop the shutter speed that covers everything with those 2 fingers and occasionally the two back buttons.
FV mode takes care of the fact that the R7 has 1 less dial than the R6 and many of our other cameras. It's working great for me so far!
I need to dive into FV mode. I hear so much positive feedback about it. You've convinced me!
Thanks for the watch!
I have 3 custom modes c1, c2 and c3 set up for casual photography, animal (high shutter speed) and portraits. Each with different settings. Works well! And… you can do the same for video!
I need to dive into the Custom modes in another video for sure. Thanks for watching!
Likewise but mine are set for video and I need to set some up for stills. Sports & portrait mainly but I do like the idea of focus area on the control ring. I might need the other adapter!
@@mvp_kryptonite thanks for the watch! I need to do an episode on custom video settings.
Great Video Gram. You right here you can do the same, save settings for video in C1-C3. I know it is possible on 90D, R, but not possible on R6. Have you tried if you really can save video settings on C1-C3? Like having 4K30 on C1 and 4K60crop on C2?
@@wpse Yes it works on R7. I have a video on it, check it out 🙂th-cam.com/video/lPfuC_hDC6E/w-d-xo.html
Phew, I know I may sound weird but I needed a dedicated button to have a magnified view in macro photography - and searching through the manual I didn't find a list of assignable functions and which buttons can be customised. Thanks for showing that list and, although it took me three repeats to find what I was looking for, I now am looking forward a little more to add that camera to my 10D-50D and 7D/7DII...
Sorry. I went through that last kind of fast. But I’m glad you found what you were looking for!
Your needs for what you do don’t sound weird at all.
Thanks for watching!
@@KevinDeal Thanks. I am still not sold on the EVF stuff. I get eye fatigue fast from previous EVF like in the Olympus cameras I had the displeasure to use - which is why I don't do any video or haven't used any EVF camera for any length of time because these induce hefty debilitating headaches - mostly through tearing, which is why I had hoped to get a 7D Mark III eventually. How is the EVF on these newer Canon cameras?
@@karlgunterwunsch1950 I like the EVF. I've owned the EOS R, R5 and R7 and have never had an issue with the EVF. Sorry you get headaches from it.
You mentioned you’re a portrait shooter? Why didn’t you choose R8 over R7?
This video came out a full year before the R8 was released. It didn't exist. I do have an R8 and love it. You can see my review here. Plenty of portrait examples.

how do you customize toggle button manual/electronic shutter?
What you do is put your camera in mechanical shutter mode. Then assign a button to Silent Shooting mode. When you hit the button, the camera will toggle between your mechanical shutter and electronic / silent shooting.
Hello Sir, I've a question, is there any way to change the EVF resolution of R7 from 60 fps to 120 fps?
I don’t know of a specific way to change that on the EVF. I think everything is tied to the recording resolution. The R7 does 120 fps at 1080P. You just have to put the camera in high frame rate mode.
Can you please explain when it is necessary to constantly press the back button to get focus and when it is possible not to press the button and the focus will remain in place. Thank you Rabbi in advance
I find that when it's constantly focusing it tends to be less accurate. It wanders and locks onto something else. Your mileage may vary.
One thing I can't find. (Great vid by the way man ) can you set a quick button to change the focus detection mode from animal,person, and car. ?? I can't find an option. Would be great
Thanks for the kind words.
Wow. That's kind of a huge omission. I couldn't find it either. I have it in my MY MENU, but it seems like that would be something lots of people would want to access more quickly. I hope they add it later.
@@KevinDeal Good to know I am not the only one then. Canon if you hear us please update this !! The difference taking eye tracking off and on makes is great at least that's a quick option.
@@rawcreative He did not cover it here, but you can set up 2 back button focus options, one for regular focus and one for eye focus. Search for R7 back button focus. You can also use the 3 custom 1-3 settings for each item.
@@angelogarciajr5356 yes been playing with it myself. Thanks for letting me know bud 🙂
@@rawcreative I am not sure I know how to do the detail settings, but you can set up your ae lock button for back button eye focus . In that setting you can hit the info button and there may be a way to set up animal, car and human in that one button. So if you shoot any of the eye choices it will do all three. The second back button is for normal focus and I use the asterisk. I have not tried setting up the eye focus with the info setting, because there is no one out there to guide me. lol I do have animal eye on my custom setting 1, sports or human on custom setting 2 and car on custom setiing 3. Good luck
Which lens are you using for canon R7
In the video I am using the RF14-35 f4 and the RF16mm 2.8. I mainly use my R7 for video, so with the crop I prefer wider lenses.
However, when I find myself doing portrait stills with it, I like the RF50mm f/1.2. That lens renders well on a crop.
Gotta get one first 😡🤬😡🤬3 months on the pre order list and now told be another 2 months at least
Brutal. I’m seeing local shops start to get them in. Maybe try to get one from another shop then cancel your preorder?
My ISO button is my ISO button...😉
My fingers don't like the placement if the ISO button, but I am clumsy, so I gotta do what I gotta do. Lol. Thanks for the watch!
@@KevinDeal where have you change the red button for video with ISO option?
@@AlessandroAvigni the red button can only be record in video mode.
@@KevinDeal no i mean in a photo mode! How you have changed the red button to manage ISO (As at minutes 7 of your video)
@@AlessandroAvigni Ok. I understand.
Click MENU > Go to the Orange Menu Section > Select Tab #3 > Go to Customize Buttons
Then, scroll until you see the button highlighted in orange. Click on that button. Then a list of new assignments pop up. Scroll until you get to ISO. Then click ISO.
That's it!
