I love how clean and concise your delivery is.
Great Video. I learned more in 22 minutes from you than I have trying to decipher the 1000 page plus manual.
Glad it was helpful and you learned so much David :) Thanks for the kind words, Jay
The perfect tutorial I was looking for! Thank you Jason!
So far the best I've found for learning the R6 II😁
Great to hear thank you :)
A very well thought out presentation with supporting active camera demonstrations. You combined camera fundamentals with R6 features. Well done.
Thanks William :)
Thanks for this video. I just upgraded from DSLR to Mirrorless with this camera and you answered a lot of my questions with your information. Even questions I did not know I had yet. LOL. I was wondering how people adjusted and saw it happen on the fly without using the menu screen. You showed me in Manual mode with the three dials. Perfect. Thank you so much. =)
Thanks just bought the R6 II that sped a lot of the mode learning up.
You were awesome with the r50 setup video and nailed it on the r6. You helped me greatly as I own both! Thank you!
so helpful! thank you so much. I just bought this camera and to have somebody break down everything is streamlining the learning curve.
You're very welcome :)
I like how the exposure is shown on the screen as settings are changed. Back in the days of DSLR, I didn't really know what it would turn out like until I took the shot.
Live View is a game changer!
Thank you for posting!
thank you, very complete video.
Thanks sir now I used 5d i wish to switch R6 in future
This is exactly what I need! Thank you!
You are very welcome! :)
Great video!
Very well explained, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Very nice presentation.
Thanks and glad you liked it :)
Thank you for this very well structured Video, it´s in one row with others (Quickstart and Beginner´s Guide) made by you. For me, as a not native English speaker it´s sometimes a little fast, but I can scroll over the time line and get all necessary information. Your videos helped me to become familiar with my R6 Mk II. It would have been good to have such help concerning my "first" camera, the 1Dx Mk II, but there is no comparable material on TH-cam.
You're very welcome Martin and thank you for the kind words :)
Thanks!
Good tutorial. Just subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
cool i just found you Jason !! you are excellent and clear !! thanks again .. i have the R7 in december .whit the 100mm 500L Canon i love it i sold the sigma 150 600 mm was just not the right match now .. and i just bought the R6mk2 ... just learn it .. was my dream too got a full frame for complete my new need loll ... thanks again .. and i will follow you now ! sorry for my spelling im French from Montreal Quebec !
I’m planning on getting an R6II so this was helpful. The AI in the cameras today is getting scary good and I look forward to trying it.
A bit of photo trivia about why pressing and holding the shutter to control exposure is called “Bulb” mode: Early view camera shutters were controlled by air pressure via a squeeze bulb and rubber hose. The glass plates the cameras used had such a slow speed (i.e., ISO) exposures were typically several seconds long and the heads of portrait subjects were held still with a clamp on stand out of view of the camera.
The ‘air bulb’ idea is an interesting take on this but I always thought that the B setting on older mechanical leaf shutters, and on the shutter dials of modern vintage film cameras, stood for ‘Brief (exposure time)’, meaning a short manually held time exposure, eg. 30 secs or 2 minutes etc., thus longer than the longest available mechanical speed of eg. typically 1 sec. The use of the word ‘Bulb’ seems to suggest the use of an (old fashioned) flashbulb, but you normally wouldn’t hold the shutter open manually to fire off a flashbulb. And I don’t think you can screw a mechanical air bulb into an R6ll camera. So I think B should stand for ‘Brief’ (exposure time) rather than ‘Bulb’, which makes me think it’s strange/weird/mistaken for Canon to mark B as ‘Bulb’ when it should be ‘Brief’.
Nice video! I use FV mode exclusively. I can change shutter, aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation (if I set one of the other settings to auto). I love this mode the best!
Awesome, and thanks for sharing! It is a really cool mode I have to say... I used it a decent amount on the Canon R10, but I'm so used to using the other modes for some many years I just prefer them. Thanks again for sharing your experience and tip for others watching! All the best, Jay
After being an avid and experienced photographer for 65 years I think my new R6 Mk Ii has become an bad investment. I enjoy the auto focus but the other thousand plus adjustments and settings are wasted on me. Be advised I seldom use the cameras video abilities. I’ve gotten by all these years understanding the use of aperture to control depth of field, light level and bokeh (depending on lens choice) shutter setting to control light and action, iso to control light. I have used TTL cameras since about 1964 so focus was never a problem for me. I wish Canon provided a more well thought out menu. I spent hours looking for a way to turn off the timer feature I had accidentally set. I eventually resorted to doing a full camera reset.
The new camera have so many features it is literally incredible compared to the older cameras from back in the day. Because of that I make really detailed beginners guides. Might I suggest you check out this video: th-cam.com/video/U-WV0g0rqNI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Jason. Very helpful. Too bad and sad Canon offers no vids to get imagers off to a good start. THX...
Do you possible have a book for this camera? I love the way you explain things
No I don't but I have a book, but I have a really detailed Canon R6 II Beginners Guide here: th-cam.com/video/U-WV0g0rqNI/w-d-xo.html
This camera has different modes? Haha. I've owned this camera for a month, it's NEVER been out of manual mode. But I did find it useful to know about the other modes.
Great Great video! Now if I can just get the camera off of "Backorder" and get it delivered!!
Thank you very much Jason for this video. Got the camera and the 1000 pages manual is discouraging 🤣
I was about to write down the settins you specified for portraits but i have the rf 2.8 24 - 70.
I guess it s different parameters
Hey there, For portraits of people not moving, wanting blurry backgrounds, and killer 3D pop, I would set the camera to Aperture Priority mode, Auto ISO, f/2.8 @ 70mm... Depending on the shutter speed the camera picks with Auto ISO, you may need to raise Auto Minimum Shutter speed as you can see here: th-cam.com/video/U-WV0g0rqNI/w-d-xo.html This will help if you are getting motion blur, or if your subjects are moving for example you will need a faster shutter speed than Auto ISO will provide at default... Or you could take the ISO off Auto and just raise it up until you get the shutter speed required to freeze any motion you may have in your seen. 1/200sec should do it for most portraits other than kids running which is more like sports shooting honestly... I hope that helps, Jay
Thank you very much
I have to play alot with the settings to get used to it.
Greetings from Europe. Edd.
Night-time shooting, special effects like B&W, these are all producing JPEGs right? Can't use them when shooting raw?
I use the auto hybrid mode all the time. The "digest" video makes a nice "B roll". I edit the stills out of it.
Do any other camera manufacturers include this hybrid auto feature?
Not that I know of, but it's certainly possible and might be called something else...
Thank you. Good to know. Just got my R6 mark 2.
Question. If I set shutter speed (I'm taking shots of birds, so fast) and aperture and ISO on auto, how does the camera prioritise these two things?
In lower light the camera will tend to leave the aperture wide open and use the Auto ISO to maintain the proper exposure. In super bright light it will tend to use the Aperture and stop down the lens to control exposure....
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you. Lots to learn. Gulp.
Does canon r5 and r6 have this presentation modes with the description on the Aplus mode like on that R6 mark 2? Thanks
I'm not sure I have not used those cameras myself...
@@Jason_Hermann OK thanks
I just got time and checked the R5 and R6 manuals for you and I don't think they have the features, because I can't find them in the documentation...
@@Jason_Hermann thanks Jason!
Do you use a screen protector on your camera? If so, what kind do you recommend?
No, but it's not a bad idea... geni.us/u1W9LCH This one looks like it has a ton of great reviews!
@@Jason_Hermann thanks so much!! Appreciate it.
Can this camera be use for Astro photography?
Yes of course 👍
I realize it is nitpicky. However, with a wide aperure you can pass more water (greater volume) but the velocity would be slower. A narrow hole would make the water flow faster but less of it (per time).
Yes correct, but if I were to say the water is flowing "faster"or slower, people then jump to the conclusion that light is traveling faster and then "you can't change the speed of light" type comments appear... So I just go with the volume analogy and leave the "speed" part out of it.... It's hard to explain this stuff without confusing people with to much information I have found over the years... I hear your point though and thanks for sharing Christopher :)
Why a camera of this level and price point has Scene and ‘Creative Filter’ modes is beyond me.
Because a lot of people still like using them Alex and it costs nearly nothing to include them…
To be honest this is not a camera for new jacks. The mention of putting this in auto mode (!!!!!!) means that that audience is not supposed to be here.
I also know people in the past who their first camera was a 5D3 or 5D4 because they're young and had money and it's fine or whatever. But it's still just not the best thing to do.
I'm coming from a 5D 3 in many other bodies and AF on this thing is loaded with options. For beginner this is so much overkill to the point of stupidity. Basically means they bought a camera that is way way way way past their skill level and it's just doesn't really make sense.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you very much John :)
