Ive had mine half a year.. its such a nice camera. (My 2nd canon) and first time taking it seriously as a hobby. I love it. Still learning and wanting sharper images though
I recently upgraded my Canon EOS 600D to the 80D. This video is already 7 years old as of today. However, it contains very useful information for beginners like me. Thanks for the video!
I have a Canon 80d, I reset the settings in my camera the problem I am having is in my ISO scale they are hole nos. My question is how can I set the increments to 1/3 again. as it was before. Thanks
Should've watched this video when I bought the camera over two years ago... I changed alot of settings and now I'm psyched to get out and see the difference! Thanks so much.
I found Udemy 7 or 8 years ago by finding your ditch auto video. I've been shooting in everything but auto since. Ordered an 80D and came across this video and just wanted to say thank you for those free courses you posted!
When you touch a box on the screen, don't just touch it as you continue talking. Tell us what you're touching ! I had to replay a section of the video 3 - 4 times just to figure out how you navigated to the focusing zone option screen. When I press my Q button . . I don't show the focusing squares to the right of AI Focus. Why not ?
This video gives me hope! I went from an OLD Canon Rebel to the 80D in 2016 and I hate it! I have tinkered with taking photos my entire life, I am not young, and for the last 2-3 years I haven't done much of anything because the 80D is frustrating! I know basically how to shoot in manual mode with success but the clarity of the photos were not as good as they could've been. I did see after making changes to my camera during this video that somehow it ended up on the Servo mode, maybe that was it, we'll see. In the beginning I was getting decent shots but nothing to write home about. *Thank you* and I will look at the other videos!
+Praveen Ap You are correct that it should be double the frame rate in most cases, but the 180 degree rule has to do with camera placement, not camera settings.
Incorrect. The 180 degree rule he mentions is about shutter angle (the relationship between shutter speed and fps). Please look it up, as you are misinforming your subscribers.
What Praveen is saying is that if you want a cinematic look to your footage you should use a shutter speed that is double what your fps is. 60fps would be 1/120th shutter speed. This makes the motion blur in your footage seem more cinematic. If you lower the shutter speed below twice the fps, your footage will have a trailing effect which could be used for a Bourne flashback look. If you increase your shutter speed beyond twice your fps your footage will seem jittery. However, the one thing in this video that is actually incorrect is that if you shoot 60fps at a 1/30 shutter speed, your still capturing 60fps but your footage will have a noticeable trailing effect where motion occurs. The camera doesn't change how many frames you are capturing. The mechanical shutter is not used during video recording. Instead, it uses an electronic shutter and discharges its sensor at the set shutter speed rate. All in all, this video was great. Thumbs up from me.
This is really helpful, I am going to be buying this camera very soon. So refreshing to see someone looking at both photo and video rather than Vlogging alone which is not something I want to be doing.
Thank you for this! I retain info so much better with video than reading the manuals. I just got the 80D and you're making it so much more fun and productive. Thanx!!!
Great tips! When you mentioned picture styles, you could have touched on the fat that up to 3 custom styles could be installed. That feature unlocks so much more potential. Also, when slowing 60fps footage on a 30fps timeline, I believe you meant you could slow the footage down 50%, not 100%. You can also slow 60fps footage to 40% for the 24fps timeline (which is actually preferred over 30fps by many) . Lastly, many people shoot using the 180 degree rule for their final footage to look like the "pros". That means you don't typically shoot at a shutter speed that matches your fps. You shoot at a shutter speed at double your fps, so if you are shooting at 60fps, your shutter speed would be at or close to 1/120. If you are shooting at 30fps, your shutter speed would be 1/60. This ensures the shutter opens twice per frame.
Great informative video, thanks! I had to slow the playback speed down to 0.75, because you talk too fast for me. You mentioned changing the audio speed for video, can you suggest a few speeds for some situations, please? I found your video when I searched youtube for eos 80d infinity settings and youtube thinks it knows what I want. Anyway, I'll try to find the Infinity setting on my EOS 80D, there's not much about it in the camera manual which I downloaded. Thanks again.
Worth a mention that there is a difference between mp4 and mov...mov is higher bitrate and retains more information. Mp4 is a lesser codec, and that's why it can do 60fps in mp4. If you're shooting in 30 or 24 fps...mov is preferred. I only ever switch to mp4 if I need to use 60fps because you're losing quality. (notice that when you switch to mov, even the camera says it's FOR EDITING)
@Craig Willis no it can not do 60fps in mov, that's why the option disappears when switching to it. Only 30fps and under. Mov files at 24/30 fps are 90Mbps, the highest bitrate available on the 80D. In mp4, 1080/60 is only 60 Mbps in comparison.
you made a great explanation and now i have some better ideas on how to adjust the settings for my 80D. Thank you. It would be really cool if you gave some video samples.
Forget about AI Focus! Set AI Servo and enable back button focus. Now you have full control over when you focus, how long you focus and when to lock exposure (separately from focus lock). You'll never go back! Don't trust your camera to decide when to use single or servo focus, as suggested here.
Very nice advice! Rookie here with 80D. I had maybe 30 great photos in a day I missed because i couldn't get the focus right where I wanted it. FULL CONTROL MASTER RACE! Subbed ! PS: It is set from Q > Custom Controls (right above RAW/JPEG option) > Multi-Controller (the first on the right from the bottom)
THANK YOU so much!!! This is so incredibly helpful. I’ve had all my settings on auto and now finally carving some time out to learn to use it properly. You mentioned formatting your SD card, does that need to be each time you transfer your pictures to your computer and reinsert the card or is it a one time/first time only thing?
Thank you for confirming that, I thought that was off-advice. Out of curriosity - what Picture Style do you use when shooting? I shoot in RAW so does that mean the picture style isn't important?
What focus point is best for group fashion photography? I need them all to be in focus, I imagine Large Zone AF? With the Manual selection: 1 pt AF if the smallest zone is focused on the prodominant model's eye in the photo - Does that mean the other models will not be as sharp or in-focus? Thanks!
Greetings Jerad. A million thanks for a very comprehensive and informative tutorial. I do very much enjoy and appreciate my 80D. My question is this: When going from any setting lower than 24mp in RAW, are you not getting the benefit of the most Mps available? I understand the spacing issues, however, I went to a larger and faster CF Card, i,e., Lexar 1066X MB/s UDMA 7 professional. With this media card, I experience no issues with speed and spacing with a RAW setting at the maximum setting. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial. Tony :))
Manual selection 1. pt. AF in contrast to default 45 pt. AF is a very narrow zone, somehow I am not convinced why should one choose a narrow focus point, unless its an art photography for effects. I hope I got it correctly, thanks,
I use Lightroom, CaptureOne Pro and Canon's own Digital Photo Professional (occasionally). The first 2 completely ignore Canon's picture profiles by default. DPP honours the profile, but let's you change profile after the fact or edit it in any way you like. If you use Canon Picture Style Editor to create custom profiles - they will only have effect in DPP. Lightroom chooses Adobe Standard by default, but can be changed to select one of the basic Canon picture styles.
Im quite new to the whole photograpy thing and just got myself an 80d.. does this mean i can set a picture profile so my JPEGs which i dont edit anyways look their best and then switch to raw to shoot pics ill edit and i dont have to change the picture profile? (as in switching to raw will just ditch it?)
Yes. Easier would be to shoot RAW+JPEG. Your jpegs would look good with the picture profile you choose in camera and if for some reason you want to edit the photo you'll have the raw file and do with it whatever you want.
Slightly amending my previous response to you... you can actually apply some of Canon's picture styles in Lightroom. It uses a profile called Adobe Standard, by default, but you can click on this to get a drop-down box showing the basic Canon picture styles, such as Portrait, Standard, Faithful, Monochrome, etc. Some of them only appear if you shot with them. Having said that, I find the picture styles are not rendered accurately the way they are in Digital Photo Professional. In other words - open the same image in DPP and LR and apply the Canon picture style used in LR (it is chosen by default in DPP) and the images will look quite different!
What settings do you suggest I use to shoot a stage production? I want to get crisp photos of multiple people and things onto stage who are moving and singing.
For a beginner, I'd say make sure that you also capture JPEGs as well, since there is a learning curve to adjusting RAW images. So you might as well get both, since you'll have the space for it on my larger SD cards.
Great video! When you are on your video screen it shows shutter speed, F-Stop setting, and Servo-AI in the lower left corner, the "Q" in the upper right corner, i believe ISO in the lower right corner and Video manual and the Frame rate in the upper left corner. HOw do you get these to show up. Mine shows nothing. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Have you got a Lens attached to the camera when looking for this? In the video, a lens was attached. I only just got my 80D today and haven't had time to play around much. I noticed the same as you, so when I get time tomorrow, I'll attach a Lens & I suspect that a lot more settings will become available. You've probably worked this out by now though, as I'm replying a week after your comment.
When recording with both RAW and JPEG, I try to properly set white balance and scene. Doing so will let me share reasonably good pictures without having to manipulate the RAW files.
Hello Sir, I am an amateur videographer live streaming our Sunday church service. My problem is the focus tracking mask on the screen of my 80D which also appears on the live stream video over the internet. Can you please help me remove while still on autofocus mode?

This clears the mid a bit. Thanks.
video shutter speed should be double the framerate, if 60fps, you should go with a shutter speed of 1/120 as per 180degree rule
+Praveen Ap You are correct that it should be double the frame rate in most cases, but the 180 degree rule has to do with camera placement, not camera settings.
Incorrect. The 180 degree rule he mentions is about shutter angle (the relationship between shutter speed and fps). Please look it up, as you are misinforming your subscribers.
Praveen Ap there is a 180 degree shutter and there is a 180 degree rule

When shooting RAW, the Picture Style only affects the way the image appears in the LCD, but doesn't have any effect on the the actual RAW file.
Is that b/c all of the original info is already in the RAW file?
Thank you for confirming that, I thought that was off-advice. Out of curriosity - what Picture Style do you use when shooting? I shoot in RAW so does that mean the picture style isn't important?
Picture styles affect JPG and JPG previews for RAW files but they don't actually take anything away from your RAW files.
What focus point is best for group fashion photography? I need them all to be in focus, I imagine Large Zone AF? With the Manual selection: 1 pt AF if the smallest zone is focused on the prodominant model's eye in the photo - Does that mean the other models will not be as sharp or in-focus? Thanks!
Use a lower F number to get a greater dept of field. Like f8 f11. Use a flash if the shutter speed gets to slow
No back button focus mention?!

I noticed many errors: e.g. Picture Style settings don't affect raw files in any way..

Shutter should be double the frame rate for video (i.e. 1/50th is shooting 24fps). Good vid otherwise. Thanks

If you have a let say a voiglander 20 mm lens - manual focus lens - you will only see manual focus MF with rect box , pretty sure
At 16;50 you are very wrong about shutter speed and frames per second. Learn the 180 rule. 24 FPS should have 1/48th and 30fps should be 60th
