What kind I of Battery Grip do you have?
Which will be better for wildlife photography in mean to say canon 90d or 7d Mark ii
I just started following you on Instagram. I was hoping to see your camera settings for the pictures you take? My husband bought me a new 90D for my birthday & I will have it next week. We live in the country on 5 acres with lots of tree's & have just recently had a Peacock move in, don't know where he came from & he's quite skittish. I can't get very close to him and I'm hoping to get some good pictures of him. I don't know if I will ever have a zoom lens like you use, so I'm sure I won't be able to get the amazing photos that you get. I ordered a Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM Lens. I'm going to use the settings you shared in this video, so hopefully I will get some good pictures. We also have owls, vultures, rabbits & a multitude of other birds that live in our treelines. Thank you for all of the great & concise information!
This sounds stupid, but wants that thing on the front of your lens?
Here I sit, watching your first-class video, while reflecting on the fact that somebody much younger than me can teach me something new. THANK YOU!!!
The way you demonstrate and explain things is striking the famous chord in me. I have just changed from a Sony alpha to the superb EOS 90D and got a bit lost with the controls as they are ever so different. In fact, the 90D is an entirely different beast and demands a much deeper understanding of its handling. Hence, with your help, an array of lightbulbs began flashing when watching your video and admiring those stunning wildlife-stills.
Again, many thanks, I bow my head in respect to you.
Out of all these Manual videos im watching, its wonderful to see a young American Dude doing so well. Your videos are excellent all around, from the background to the blue shirt over green background etc. And the tutorial was also great. Good Job young man!
You definately can shoot photos in RAW on full auto mode
I’ve done it on the 6D Mk2, 700D and 800D
I prefer full manual for everything through
Hello Tomas, thank you for this detailed Canon 90D Setting tutorial. Very helpful and have tagged to watch again. Again, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best tutorials out there. Wish you all the very best...
Excellent video, great diction [and no music - brilliant]! Love your action WL shots! Cheers from Down Under
Comprehensive - simple and makes sense. Thanks!
Very informative video. Wildlife photography is always a challenge especially when it comes to keeping the subject in focus. I found that using back button focusing is much easier and quicker than using the shutter button. Plus typically not difficult to learn.
Hi Tomas. Great video on your setups for wildlife photography. I bought my EOS 90D two weeks ago and am eager to continue taking photographs of wildlife...especially birds. I have the 18-135 kit lens. I also will be using my older Canon 70-300 that I bought with my Rebel T3i years ago. I'm going to upgrade for more reach at some point, but in the meantime, getting basics down with the camera body is what I'll be doing in the meantime. Thanks again for a great introductory tutorial for the Canon EOS 90D. I have subscribed
Subscribed! Really like how you actually show the process of everything and not just sit there and explain things. Really makes for good content! 👌🏻 congrats.
I’m planning to purchase that exact setup. The 90D has great specs, and I like the versatility of the 100-400mm zoom. Also, I’m happy to see that such a skilled photographer (like yourself) pretty much uses the same settings I use. I’ve read many sources that insist on using shutter priority with flying birds. From my experience, if there is any sky or water in the frame, there’s always a chance the camera will grab the light reading from it and underexpose my bird by closing down the aperture. I like to make ALL the decisions. And contrary to what those articles say, I’ve never found myself in light conditions that change too rapidly for me to keep up with them. A couple clicks up or down…. no big deal!
Love your videos, man!
Believe me, you are better off buying the Sony A7III and Sony 600 mmm
@@VictorHugo-dy2kv I've already gotten my setup, and I LOVE it. A friend of mine coincidentally has the same exact setup that you mentioned. I've used it, and I dislike it. But thank you for your feedback.
@@VictorHugo-dy2kv Sony got a lot of attention in mirrorless for a few years, it was a fad, but a lot of people are switching back to Canon because of so many superior features and so much more gear available, etc.
I am considering a 90D or R6, completely different but I am leaning towards the 90D. Thanks for the great video!
Me too, I just can't decide however I feel the price is going to have the final word
Thanks so much! I got this exact camera/lens combo this past month and really don't know how to get the best out of it. My first attempts have been pathetic for wildlife.
Planning to upgrade from 550D!
Oh! Btw, the advantage of C RAW is that you use less buffer meaning youll get longer time shooting continuous. 45shots in a raw if not mistaken in c raw but 30ish in just RAW
Awesome job. Best I’ve watched.
This is my dream lens!! I have canon 90 d:)..saving up for the lens !
You can buy one MarkII used for 800$
@@M4TR1X oh ok thank you!
Canon 90D just bagged EISA award 2020-21 while some 24-25 year old vlogger kids told us that DSLRs are dead. Nice review btw bro!
Thanks for being clear and not adding a bunch of BS. I am going to this cam , my 7D MK II is too hard to adjust.
Very helpful video got my 90d yest...going to use it for bird photography in manual mode right from the beginning thanks to you. Will share the results tomorrow
Great video. This has encouraged me to go into full manual mode with your down to earth explanations. Thank you so much!
Nicely done. I'm looking at getting the 90D to replace my Rebel XS, Came across your video and I really appreciated going through the menus.
I had the rebel XS a year ago, gosh is the 90d a GIANT upgrade!
Thank you for this video. I wrote it down and downloaded it for later reference. Can you go over how to shoot in a foggy/ overcast days with the 90d? It's early spring here in Duluth, MN. Could you perhaps focus on a wildlife seasons video series? Labeled correctly- foggy rain, early spring,spring,full sun,sun partial clouds, fall colors with/without sun, first snow fall, and lastly middle of the arctic tundra-err full winter. A lot to do think about understandable. It would take over a year to complete, but would be easier to follow for many. Now and for many years to come. Videos are the new books learning tools for the next generations to come (in my opinion). It would be a great series to learn from . Please use the 90d if you choose to 😁. Thank you again.
GREAT VIDEO, I was only off 1 area and that was (spot metering for back lit subjects).
There is an ISO Upper Limiter you did not mention here. I set mine no higher than 3200, too noisy in the woods.
Thanks for the video even though my comments come several years later LOL
I like the Manual Mode on Canon, it s easy to reach speed or aperture fast than the other Modes and more accurate.
Love you brother from india🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Tomas,
It is great to watch Your video. Good information. I am a wildlife enthusiast and I shoot a lot of wildlife, specially bird flight, pictures using my Canon 7D Mark II. I know it is good to shoot in the Manual mode, as You have suggested. But I mainly shoot in the AV ( Aperture Priority ) mode and get tack sharp images. The point I would like to make is that You can set the minimum shutter speed of the camera to whatever You want for any of the creative modes, so that the camera does not go below that shutter speed, for any of the creative modes. For example, I set my minimum camera speed to 1/1600 of a second for birds flight and set the ISO to AUTO in the AV mode. Then I adjust the Aperture as per the depth of field that I need for every shot, in the AV mode. I set the exposure compensation to +1/3 stop. In this way, any picture You take will not be shot below 1/1600 of a second and the ISO is automatically calculated and set by the camera as per the exposure compensation.
-- Sorry for this long message.
This was one of the most informative and helpful videos I have seen on the Canon 90D. I am especially interested in wildlife, birds, and flowers. You delivered good information, provided instructions on how to set up the camera, and the reason why without adding fluff...You kept to "just the facts." Great Video!
Thank you for the video, I really appreciate it and enjoyed how you walked thru the features.
exposure compensation is usefull for birds in flight because the sky is so bright compared to them, pushing to +1 to +2 can help a lot, depending how bright is their plumage
It's fascinating,soul of exploring.thank you for your technical/professional explaination.see the world as canon sees...
Tv and Av work great as well, and it's easier for beginners. It's a matter of preference. If you know what you're doing we'll get great photos. Golden hours, pay attention to the background, get to eye-level with the birds are a few things that help you get great photos.
Bro I really enjoyed your session. Learnt alot. Thankyou 🙏👍
Thanks for such a easy video to follow, and helping me figure out my new 90D for wildlife photos 😊
Very welcome!
I enjoyed you're video it helped me change a few things on my camera.
Wow, over 20k subs already? Good for you dude!
Working on it!!
Thanks buddy, very well explained and pretty much how I had my 90D set up, but thanks.
Great to hear!
Great video I have the Canon 80D and I am having so much trouble learning all the settings for individual situations and environments. So hopefully most of the features and buttons work the same. It looks almost identical except for the size.
Thank you so much for the video. I use to take picture on TV mode. I'll try manual next time.
My wish list has a 90d and a few accessories on it. I appreciate all the information about wildlife photography. We have plenty of opportunities here in Arizona. I am getting closer to pulling the trigger on a purchase. I still need to decide on a zoom lens...
I've heard the dynamic range (?) with this camera isn't the best. Can you explain that?Love your vids, I subscribed.
Huh, I think the dynamic range is amazing, I get so much color and shadows are almost never a problem. If you don’t believe me check out my Instagram for samples @tomaskoeck . I state each piece of gear with each post
Hi Thomas, how about settings for video on 90D - following on from your great video for photography settings with 90D
Just what I was looking for 🙏
Great video. Everything in it is applicable to the 80D as well. I would like to respond to your comment that Tv (shutter priority) is worse for wildlife than Av (Aperture priority). I agree that Manual mode/aperture wide open/auto ISO is the best way to go but I've used shutter priority for years with excellent results. You say "if I set the shutter speed way way low...." Well you would never do that in wildlife photography.... ever.... you wouldn't do that in manual mode either. You like to have control of the shutter speed in manual for the same reason I like to have control of it in shutter priority. Motionless subjects ~1/400 minimum but as high as light will allow. 1/1000 preferred especially if any movement possible. 1/2000 or up for birds in flight. I always keep my shutter speed as high as possible so that my ISO doesn't go above 1600, that means my aperture is almost always wide open. The benefit of Tv mode is if you happen to lower the shutter speed below the point where the ISO reaches 100, the aperture will stop down and expose the picture perfectly. If you do that in manual (without stopping down the aperture) you will blow out your highlights. But I have been experimenting with manual/wide open/auto ISO and think that it is a great choice.... awesome video.
Very good video just got a 90d
Nice channel and awesome images! Keep up the great work.
interesting video recording and I recently brought a canon 90D also if you live your part of USA where the light is strong and bright at all Time for wildlife photography then you need to set you IOS HIGH and is a problem here in UK for that because the LIGHT changes very quickly and done stay that way for days or even month even FEW HOURS so is a challenge I alway set my camera on shutter priority for moving subject and I use my canon 70/300MM F4/5.6L LENS
thank you ! Clear and precise . Easy to follow
You’re doing a great job...
I'd like to suggest: Lower your background music just slightly -- to not compete so much with your dialogue -- and you've got yourself a great vid! Really like your concise and articulate demeanor. You're a natural and going to go far as a TH-camr.. (New subscriber ... and also a Canon 90D owner)
Thanks for the suggestion friend! I’ll make sure to keep that in mind
This is so helpful!!!
Wow, great explanation, thanks much!
Have you tried back button focusing? Configured properly, pressing the back button and releasing gives one shot focus. Press and hold gives AI Servo continuous focus. Best of both worlds for fixed and moving subjects.
Funny you say that that’s all I use!
thank you for this video! Much useful information. What battery grip are you using.
Not huge on wildlife even though I should be here in the Poconos. But I watched this as I do dabble in it and wanted to see what others are using for setting. And ill be darned, almost everything was already the same except the ISO and shutter speeds lol I like controlling my ISO but mostly cause I do car photography but definitely makes sense keeping it on auto and having that shutter speed up as a benchmark
wow what a nice detailed video! well done!
Amazing video from someone that has a lot of experience as a photographer. You made me buy the Canon 90D :-)... now I will continue looking for more tutorials here in your channel about this great camera..something like this. Thanks :_)
Always glad to help!
You will love the 90D
Great video! Just got a 90D!
rad, super helpful! starting to try and shoot more wildlife! Thank you!
Solid review. I just upgraded to this exact body/lens combo
Please consider ordering from milfordphoto.com and mention that I sent you!
@@tomaskoeck unfortunately already have the lens and body, how about I pick up some filters and batteries instead?
That joystick is the only thing that makes me want the 90d
Great tips! Love my 90D now that I have it set up right!
What an awesome video my friend. Keep up the good work and keep them videos coming. I just subbed to ur channel 👏🏻👌🏻From Denver Colorado
Appreciate it!
Tomas Koeck 🤟🏻✌🏼
I watched a video by CJamesPhoto today on Canon 90D. He complained he didn't get properly focused sharp photos in burst modes. May be one out of 10 is ok!
After watching that video; I tested it with EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lenses. Didn't observe the issue.
May I know your opinion? Thanks in advance.
This camera 📷 is so sick
That it is!
I was hoping that Canon would come out with a 7D Mk III, but that looks unlikely now.
@Paul Jones I agree. I have the first version of the 7D, (purchased new in 2009), original shutter ( I just hit 200k recently). It has served me well over the years, and to be honest, I am still happy with it, but given the camera's age and heavy usage, I was considering a replacement. I don't like the new mirror-less cameras because the EVF has a refresh lag with panning shots. Was kind of expecting a new 7D III to come out, and I would get one. I know the 90D is very advanced and such, but it' isn't a 7D, and any new version of a 7D would have all the professional features one would expect (e.g. dual card slot, better weather sealing).
Hey Tomas! what kind of lens do you use for wildlife photography? Thank you
Wow bro, ur like the best photographer I've watched who acts down to earth- not dramatic. I am looking into getting a Canon 90D. Do you have certain lens you'd recommend? I would be shooting portraits and action photos- as far as like dogs running, ect. I was feeling overwhelmed when I looked into upgrading. But I think I might be leaning towards this one!
I really appreciate the kind words! Check out some of my other reviews for lens recommendations!
Hello Thomas. Good video thanks. My question is what menu to use for nature, mountains, because I like to wild camping, and I taking photos of forest and nature. But my Canon is old model. D 1100. CANON. But I looking to buy Canon d90. And that lens you recommend for wildlife photography, and nature. Thanks
Great explanations. Thank you.
Great. Thanks
hello Tomas... i have a canon 90D with Tamron 150-600 G2 i want to get the best result with both of them... cause when i saw your photos are super sharp maybe there are some settings i didnt them yet.. very hopefull to get your help plz 🙏🙏
Thank you! How about diffraction due to the tiny pixel in 90D?
Just bought the CANON EOS 90D DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens kit. Looking to take pictures of my dogs as a hobby. What would you say with the kit I've got, the settings I'd need to get the best with what I've got until I can invest in a better lens
Don’t use exposure compensation much? I use it frequently. Very light sky, exposure competition. Very light/dark subject, exposure compensation. Use it on almost every photo shoot.
Thank you Tomas for the video.
I'm using Canon 1DIV and 7D for my wildlife photography purposes as a hobbyist. I've just bought the 90D for some extra benefits that it offers. However, I'm not so sure about its necessary AF settings when I shoot wildlife particularly moving subjects like birds.
IMO, for wildlife settings; autofocus is most important. Could you make a video exclusively for this purpose?
Thank you again.
I have just upgraded from a 200d to the 90D. Which I pair with the Tamron 150-600 mm. I love taking photos of wildlife and always thought AV was the way to go. After watching your video I am going to give Manual ago. Sorry if this is a silly question what is the part you have on the bottom of the camera? I will be watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing .
That is a battery grip! Called a BG E-14
Well, great job. First, you got me to hit the like button. Then, the subscribe button. Thing is, I do not own a 90D nor a 100-400. 0.0
Hi. I'm only 3 years into my photography journey and 1 month into wildlife. I've already been using auto ISO in manual on my 760D T6s. I'm finding a big issue is not having exposure compensation in manual on the T6s as black birds are under exposed and white parts of birds or white birds have parts blown out I cannot recover in the raw file. Do you know a way around this. I cannot set minimum shutter speed in AV mode like the 7Dii. Any hacks you know off? Magic lantern do not have a version for 760D. I just purchased a 150-600 so that's my budget gone for the year.
Also, is a 90D still the best option since you posted. There is now the R7 to consider. I guess the used prices of the 90D will come down. I've seen comments about issues with the sigma 150-600 with R7.
Appreciate any advice you can give, even if that's to get my wallet out and upgrade. Though I'd rather not.
Hi thank you for your tips.
You are so welcome!
Love from sri Lanka brother ✌🤗🤗
I have the combination EOS90D with the canon 100-400. I watched your video🙂. What advise can you give with regard to an extender. 1.4 or 2.0?
Great video very helpful.
Hello. I followed setting to a t ..maybe something I am missing but my photos are very dark . Have the same camera 90d and a 100 to 400 lens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Taking pictures of Mallards at still and in flight when they're landing. The conditions were cloudy.
Thank you .
So you keep it on the most left setting on your camera?
Great video and thanks for sharing it. Now big question even though maybe not for you but which lenses are best to use for taking pictures of star's and the moon? Because I've heard that macro lenses work best and I've been looking at some Tamron lenses online but am a little uncertain as to which one's to go with seeing that they're quit costly and I certainly don't want to be spending more for lenses that will not be doing what I'm looking to do. Well young man I appreciate your time and help
Great video, Tomas! Stumbled upon your channel last night as I was researching the 90D. Currently shooting the 5D mk iv which is amazing. But my long reach lens is the Sigma 150-600 C. And while I have taken some great photoshop it... the AF hunts way too much for my liking. The Canon 600 f4 is out of the price range for me. The Canon 100-400 is II on the 90D (the awesome setup you have in this vid!) seems like an excellent combo for a manageable price tag. I will use my Canon 70-200 f2.8 is III on the 5D mk iv for close up shots. Adding the setup you showed in the vid seems as though it would be amazing for the long reach (and shooting video as well!). Question for you - hope you don’t mind. Can you assign back button autofocus to the 90D? And if so... can it also be set up for dual back button focus? I have my 5D set up that way with a different AF area for each button (single point and 9 point expanded zone). Thanks in advance if you could offer any input! Keep up the great work, dude!
Hey there Nicholas, I’ll try to give the best answer I can!
Yes the 90D paired with the 100-400 II is an absolutely deadly combo! Yes you can set it to back button autofocus on the 90D! I think you will find the 90D to be more competitive than the 5d mk iv when it comes to wildlife
Thanks for the quick reply, Tomas! I was looking at picking up the 7D Mk ii but that is now discontinued and I am hesitant to pick up a used copy. Then I stumbled upon this awesome review of yours! Based on tons of research and your reply, looks like 90D with the 100-400 IS ii will be in my relatively near-future bag! I love the fact the high quality video recording is capable with the 90D. Thanks again!
When shooting wildlife should I shoot in landscape or portrait? Thx
Good job 👍 👌😍
nice keep it up!! thanks for the tips!
i just added you to my favorites. I have the Canon 90d and use the 100-400 ver i. I am confused on the different buttons on the lens. I know what Af/MF are and what they do. What other settings shoud i put the lens on. as in 1.8 settings or the 5.6 for distance...thanks. loved the video.
Hi many thanks. I've recently bought the 90D and found this video very helpfull.One strange thing though - I am partially deaf and rely on subtitles.On this video they show in Korean and if I use Auto Translete to English its gibberish, why is this? Other than that excellent video.
content like this is awesome! can i just ask what lens you have on the camera and where i can get that from? i just purchased a 90d and only have the kit lens 18-55, 50 prime, and 75-300 but looking for more of one of those.
also, how far are you when you take the pictures of the birds and stuff to make it look like you're close by them?
thank you in advance. great vid. you got my like and sub
Hi, you can order a canon 100-400mm from Milfordphoto.com. I am usually around 80-100 feet away from the birds, very rare and hard to get closer
Informative as always! :)
Glad I could help!
What is your setting for very fast flying birds? When I go with TV 3200 I always get very noisy images😞 I was told that I got wrong choice with 90 D and I had to purchase 7 D mrk II which has less problems with noise ((
Great video!
Awesome video, thanks!
Brilliant thankyou very much going to subscribe like and get my camra out and set my settings to what you said thankyou :)
Amazing presentation..Thanks for sharing..Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
wow nice camera..i love it
I have the 90D and usually use Program mode! Why not this mode,?
