Jan, you just might be the best overall "how to" vlogger!. This vid is clear, well paced, and informative.
Thank you! 😃
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this camera - this video seems invaluable for setting it up to do bird photography and especially BIF. Great job, Jan!
Glad it was helpful!
Always appreciate what you give to others in education! You have a gift for teaching! Thank you Jan!
Thank you. Just bought the R6Mkii this week. You really helped me understand a lot of the features.
Great video, I definietely will come back to - thank you for sharing the settings, thats how I learn best when I can see various settings in comparison to what I am using myself. LOVE bird photography so this is very helpful!!!
Been waiting for this one, great video，thanks Jan！
I’ve been waiting for this video mate 😎🥳
Perfect timing for this video Jan. I just purchased the R6 Mark II and this video is extremely helpful in setting it up for wildlife photography.. Thanks a ton for sharing the video!
Glad it was helpful!
I have just got my R6 mkii from a 7d ii and 5d iv.
Glad I found your video to set up for the new camera.have followed your advise and setting so this weekend I have a good base set up.
Thank you.
I simply appreciate all the effort. I am going to try your focus set up and hope it doesnt take too long to adapt to the 2 back buttons.
Thanks Jan for this setup vid. Got me going with my new R6II. I've gone with a triple back button Focus. Seems like a great way of taking advantage of the AF options it has. So flexible I love it.
Thank you Jan, got my R6 mk2 yesterday this was super helpful
being a motorsport shooter i love my single point AF on track, but in the pits I take photos of people so having eyeAF available quickly and easily will be a massive help
It is the most descriptive Canon Eos R6 video I have watched so far. Thank you for your effort 🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure!
Excellent video. While reading the manual is always helpful, having a video with detail settings and rationale really helps me make informed decisions on the settings that are right for me. Thanks very much.
Great video! There were so many aspects of the settings I was unsure about that you touched on. i will definitely be utilizing a lot of the changes you suggest. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Jan for the detailed video 🙏🤗
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful information here. Thanks for posting!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🤗
You are so welcome
Great video. A lot in good info, very fast paced , but essential. Helped me a lot. Thank you!!! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, Jan. Thanks for all your fantastic footage. I really enjoy watching all of them, even the ones that are not too relevant to me, like this one for instance (I own the R5). I will re-watch the R5 settings video. So far, I was unable to assign the depth of field button with the wide autofocus tracking on my R5, which is something that I used on my 5Div before I changed to the R5.
Thank you for this tutorial! Super helpful 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Simply awesome ! Thanks Jan :)
Glad you liked it!
I have just got an R8 and as expected, 90% of the set up you have used in this video also applies to the new R8. Great work thanks Jan, that has save me a load of time and made my workflow much easier 😊
Awesome!
Thanks Jan, I'm looking forward to trying these settings in my camera.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Jan
Just brought this camera yesterday and it's a revelation after my 1DX ii.
Thanks so much for the set up guide Jan.
I followed your settings but changed a few things:
I've set up the custom buttons to vary the fps with C1 set for 20 fps and Electronic shutter, C2 again e shutter but 40 fps and C3 mechanical shutter 12 fps.
I've also programmed the AF point selection AF point selection button as a 3rd back button set to All area tracking.
Looking forward to your review of the RF 200-800 which I'm considering buying.
Cheers
Noel
You put a lot of work into this... Thank you. I'm still working with a 5D3 that was purchased at rollout, but I am looking ahead. Your video is most helpful.
great!
Thanks Jan, an amazing video very helpful and I’ll be buying you setup guide as a reference.
Glad I could help
Really great video! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great setup video! Thanks so much for all the details... it really helped me get started with my NEW R6 markII.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful, thank you 👍
What a helpful and informative video! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks this helps alot, I'll get mine next week. 😊
Great video. This will be very helpful for all the R6II users!
I hope so!
I've recently began practicing wildlife photography by photographing water fowl. I wondered why only a few of my photos were sharp, but most of my others were slightly blurry using the RF 100 - 400 lens. From this video, now I see that there are extra settings I have active that may have slowed my camera and affected my images. Thanks for this!
what extra settings were active?
Thanks Jan, I found that an extremely useful video in setting up my R6m2!
Thank you! Glad I could help!
great tips Jan !
thank you very much 🙏
I'm gonna make a few changes to my autofocus settings right away 💫
Glad it was helpful!
Jan, Thank you for sharing these settings. I am still learning what works for me best. It is definitely a journey :-)
Good info, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Jan, my Mk ii should be with me any day now fingers crossed 🤞🏼 so this video is perfect timing 👍🏼
Awesome!
I've set my R6 up as you have said, I will give it another try in the field. My problem is tracking an keeping the focus sharp at all times.
Great video mate! 👍
Thanks! 👍
I'm newbie in wildlife photography, and also with the R6 MII so this video feels like the Holy Grial for me!! Thanks so much ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent! Easily the best video for Canon EOS R6 II settings for birding and wildlife.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Thank you very much! 😊❤
Keep ruling Jan! Couple of theses changes help my r5
Thanks for this! I'm a bit late to this party, but I've kept using my R7 for birds, but with the 200-800 I've moved to using my R6II and wanted to come up with advice on the AF modes.
There's one notable difference in the setup I like: since (as you suggest) I don't use the record button in stills mode, I reassign the "dial func" menu (normally on the M-Fn button) to that button. Then the M-Fn button I set to the tracking toggle, which you have set to the DOF preview button. THEN I use the DOF preview as a panic button, in case something unexpected suddenly happens.
This "panic button" mode switches to a different AF setup entirely, trying to pick up a subject in the entire field of view, and widening the acceptable exposure settings. Then if I'm busy trying to get a nice, careful shot of some nesting GBHs in one direction and I suddenly hear a bald eagle making a raid on the rookery, I can pivot, hit the panic button, and hope to grab something.
Great video. Just got an r6ii to upgrade my mki, this was helpful. Looking for the same for my old r5...
Thanks Jan, I get my R6 MII next week can’t wait to set it up and start shooting, all wildlife very active now in the breeding season. 👀👀
Congrats! You will enjoy it
Thanks 🙏
Great video and love the info and now I have to make some adjustments to my setup. I love my R6II and newly acquired EF 600mm F/4 IS II. I'm shooting stills 95-99% of the time but have found myself shooting some 180fps videos too (a few examples on my channel). Maybe I'll start editing videos in the future.
Very helpful video
Good job
Glad you think so!
Bookmarked for later. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
oh my gosh turning off whole area tracking servo AF saved me from going insane!!! Why do they ship cameras with the most jacked up settings? Thanks again you're a lifesaver!!!
Great video, very helpful, May I suggest using the SET button to review photos. It's very handy and if you accidentally tap it, no changes are made.
I am in the market to upgrade my D7 Mark II and this video has provided me with a wealth of information. I believe the R6 II is a good fit for me as primarly a bird/wildlife photographer. Thank you for the information.
Great to hear!
Very thorough video thank you. Watched originally to confirm that R6 MK II I'm looking at buying will allow shutter button to be reconfigured as video start (it does). Massive bonus though was when you briefly mentioned the "Movie Servo AF Speed" this is really useful for slow focus pulls when videoing, and it turns out that my current EOS-R already has the feature but I hadn't realised!!! Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
No problem, enjoy, it’s a great camera 😊
looks like shooting quick birds has made you fast, too. I had to stop and repeat the video several times.😃 So it was very good to have the chapters. Thank you for your efforts. This will definitely help me to get a better understanding of the camera.
always a fine line between too fast and boring ;)
This was useful.
I find Jan I play back your guide videos in 1/2 speed and I can follow the button changing instructions :-) and still understand what you're saying too. Thanx
hehe nice
Best camera ever
You are right about disabling noise reduction in camera, with modern de-noising software that really isn't necessary and might actually hurt the overall image quality :)
Yes
Alas, the R6 Mark II is out of my price range, but I have pre-ordered the R8 and I think I can leverage at least some of this for that camera, since it shares the same sensor and AF system. Thank you!
Hey Jan, don't own the Canon R6 Mark II, but if I did, I am sure this would be a great video to setup the camera.
Hi Jan, really helpful, thanks a lot. Just one question, after a update to 1.2.0 the magnification position (min14:49) is always in the middle but I choose from focus point. Is this normal or I misunderstood this feature, that I always want to fast see my focus area in original size?
Hi there jan
I have question for you.
I am considering the rf 100-500 with a 1.4 tc on the r6 but i am not sure if thats the best choise for me compared to a used ef 600 f4 l is usm mk2 also with 1.4 tc. I shoot birds In fligth and the ligth here in Denmark is not like the sunny days down under. So please advise
Thx
Regards from Denmark
Hi Jan, I´m considering to buy the R6 Mark II so my boys can come along with me and start enjoying being out. I went to a nearby shop and while I was having the camera on my hands I notice if you shake a camera just a little bit you hear a noise like something is loose inside. I don´t know anyone that have that camera. Is that what you can experience on yours as well? Thank you.
Hi Jan, thanks for the great video. Just want to confirm your worklow on the field. Please correct me if I am wrong.
By default you have the AF set to (Spot focus, Servo, Eye detection-off, tracking-off, subject detection-animal). You set the focus point either using the joy stick or top-right corner of the screen. Hit the "*" button to acquire focus. Hit the "AF-ON" button to enable eye detection. Hit the front button to enable/disable tracking. The last 2 buttons not necessarily in the same order.
This would really help understand your workflow. I own a R7 and would like to see if your workflow helps me improve my keeper rate.
Thnx in advance👍
I usually only hit the AF-on button and only when the eye tracking doesn’t find the bird or misses I will use the * button.
The button on the front I almost never use
@@jan_wegener thank you 👍. Will try it 😀
Thank you for a great (but very fast video with lots of pausing :)). I haven´t tried back button focus before because I think my hands are too small to handle it but I´ve decided to give it a go anyway. So to my question. When i focus with the star for eye fokus the square is very big. I hade it on auto since i photograf both animals and people. I tried to change it to animals but still got that big square not letting me know it really just have the focus on the eye and not the whole face (tried on my dog). Did I miss something?
Hi Jan, I agree this retract lens setting is a very important one ! You mentioned it also a few videos back and made the change that day. It's indeed a huge improvement for finding back birds faster !! And it helped me take some great shots of a bluethroat this morning ;-) Thanks a lot !
Many of the lens correction and noise settings in camera are only used for jpegs .. given we give prio to cRaw, disabling those settings is saving battery and improving buffer size.
exactly! Glad it helped
Thanks. I bought your PDF. Much easier that start and stop video. Help! I had my 5D4 set so C1 did a three shot bracket. I switch to C1 and press the shutter and it did three images automatically. I have on my new R6 Mark II C1 set to a three shot bracket but I can't figure out how to make it do all three shots with one shutter push. I set it up on y 5D4 many years ago and I nit longer can figure out the setting. Can you help please!
Please tell me, I have a Canon 5 d m3. I want to change it to mirrorless. Initially R6m2 or Sony a 7m4. Or should I buy the R5 right away? Sony a7mr5. I can buy a camera once and I won't be able to anymore. There is a Canon 24-105 L 1 lens of the first version. Megapixels are welcome
Wonderful video!! Sorry Jan, where can i download the setup guides in pdf? Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Thanks Jan. When you shoot video with the Canon Log what software do you use to make the adjustments in post? can it be done in iMovie or do you need something more sophisticated?
I use Davinci studio. Not sure if iMovie can do it
Great video! Been waiting for this... I had mine set to most of your recommended settings and your video filled in the blanks to make it perfect. However, I did find one quirk that I hope you can explain and show a fix for. At 22:00, you show how to set up the star button. This works great when shooting horizontal but If I go vertical, it stops working and seems to go to a wide area multi-point AF.
probably the setting for different Af points/zones messing with you in the pink menu
@@jan_wegener You're amazing! That was it. AF menu #4, Orientation Linked AF point. Thanks!
Hi!
I don't recommend using cRAW, take a couple of shots with dark exposure in RAW and cRAW, and then add the exposure in Ligntroom to normal. After that, zoom in on these two pictures and see what happens there. cRAW saves pictures with some strange step of skipping between pixels.
And if you have such a situation where you accidentally take an important shot with underexposure, then this picture will already be unsuitable for work.
And it happened that you want to tighten the shadows and there is a mess of pixels.
So, RAW only ;)
Thank you for this video, it's useful!
I did all the tests and find the difference negligible. The only real IQ difference I see is between the 14 bit mechanical shutter and 12 bit electronic, that is a lot more.
Very useful thanks! It seems to me that the settings that you have for photo are more effective than for video, the problem is, ike you said, by keeping the photo autofocus buttons for video you will introduce more shake in the footage every time you press the buttons. Anyway I think I'm gonna give a try just to see how bad it will be.
For video I just let the camera track. Which usually works alright
Hi Jan, Great video and helped me a lot with my upgrade from Canon EOS60D! I only started playing around with it this afternoon to learn to use it (watching your video) and am concerned by the whirring noise it makes when I switch it on (no rattling when it's switched off as somebody else mentioned). Is this normal? Or did I buy a lemon?
Yes, probably the Ibis and sensor clean, too
@@jan_wegener Thanks, that's a relief to know!
My R6MkII will arrive tomorrow. I shoot jpeg and I see all of your settings are for shooting Raw....will those settings work for me? Or do you have a reference for shooting jpeg?
such an amazing setting well done keep it up! one question we don't have to save the settings after it's done?
No they stay that way once put in u less you reset the camera etc
@@jan_wegener appreciate it. I couldn’t find the contract, saturation- - - on this camera any advice please 🙏
@@zmstudiochannelpicture styles
@@jan_wegener I see thanks again!!
Hi, I'm in the orange settings and when I try to use the back button customize section, I don't have the AF button to select on my dialfor eye checking. I don't have a couple of the options (I did scroll down and I didn't see them)
Hi Jan, thanks so much for this video! Unfortunately, the method described in here isn’t always working for me. As one or two others mentioned, when I hit the star button for Spot AF only, the camera nevertheless will frequently attempt to track a subject, which often leads to me losing the bird I am attempting to photograph (especially if it’s in dense cover and isn’t immediately apparent to the eye detection AF, necessitating the use of Spot AF). Do you know why this might be happening and is there an additional fix to get it to stop (or perhaps I missed something)? Thanks!
Yes, it will still track sometimes, you can turn that off much deeper in the menu when configuring certain things.
I set it up like this and it works good, I do notice though the when using the EF600/4II with the 1,4ext it is annoyingly slow to focus
That’s the lens and extender tho unfortunately
There is a choice for "SPOT DETECTION" for custom button selection instead of the "Eye AF" How does that work?
I'm trying to understand the "retract lens on power off" thing. Does the RF 35mm F1.8 extend automatically? I have an EF 24-70 that extends manually for zoom (also an EF 70-200). Will this lens be ok if I disable "retract lens on power off"? I'm guessing it's different because it dows not extend to focus, only to zoom, whereas the RF 35mm doesn't zoom. Great video, thanks!
Yes, it affects lenses where you don’t manually zoom, but the lens protrudes in an out by itself basically
Hi Jan, it would be great if you could lose a few words about your ISO and shutter speed settings. I nearly have the same settings for wildlife photography but in the orange menu, tab 2 I set the shutter speed range to 1/1000 - 1/16000 (electronic). With an open aperture, the ISO settings is the only parameter which is controlled by the camera. How do you prevent the camera to shoot with a shutter speed longer than 1/1000 which will often result in blurry images (e.g.when the bird is moving)?
I shoot full manual so I set all these settings while I shoot and depending on the scene
Great video Jan! I do have one question about the eye detection feature if you could please help!.... I just upgraded from the R6 to the R6 Mk2 and I can't seem set up the auto focus settings the way I had it on my R6. On my previous R6 I had my back AF-On button activate the eye detection tracking focusing on and off, allowing me to switch from spot focusing to eye detection focusing when needed. This was great when I was photographing a person walking towards me and I would need the focus to stay sharp on the subjects face! But now, I see that Canon has eliminated that eye tracking focus feature in the Auto-focus menu on the R6MK2. If i wanted to the set this up on my R6II, what customize focus setting should i set my AF-On button to? Is it (Start/Stop Whole area AF tracking) or (AF on detected subject) or (Eye detection AF) or (Eye detection)??? So many new options when all I want is to track the eye when i want it to! Please help!
No answer unfortunately
Great video. How is your background so blurry?
Long lenses
@@jan_wegener 70-200, 24-105?
Hi Jan, I am thinking about getting your Proset, is it a download or it has to be shipped? Thanks
it's a small download. So you can use them instantly
Perfect , thank you very much!
Does the Canon RF 800mm f/11 have the same focus zone limitation on the R6 II (as the R5 and R6 where you only get a tiny box), or is it like the R3, where you get to use most of the zone?
You get a lot more than on R5/6/7
hey, thanks for the useful video. I must be missing a setting somewhere because even after remapping af-on and * buttons I'm getting big blue squares around objects if the camera recognises something (not eye and not face, also veering off from spot focus point with a blue square too). What gives? thank you
for anyone who comes after me - i found the answer - you need to assign a button (I used SET button) to "direct select of sub to detect" which lets you toggle the function on and off. Might pay to remove the less needed objects to detect from the list to make toggle faster. Good luck
Just got mine today and am lost when using it compared to my rp.
Gotta really figure out the autofocus.
I found it, I was in Program mode, not Manual. I didn’t know we had to be in manual mode to see all of these features.
Fantastic video, helped me a lot! Just one thing... I did configured my R6mkii af like you tell and works perfect but on my R6 mark1 i can't find the option "Start/stop whole area AF tracking". Do you know if this option is on the R6mk1 under a diferent name or it`s just no there? I've checked all the menus but could'n find it.
Thanks!
It doesn't have that Af feature
@@jan_wegener Right, thank you!
Hi Jan, I wanted to share my experience with the R6 Mark II camera that I recently purchased. Overall, I'm quite satisfied, but I've encountered a particular issue related to the LCD screen (Viewfinder seems to have no issue). When using the LCD to compose my shots, I've noticed a significant lag in the shutter response. For instance, when my son starts to smile and I press the shutter button, I expect the camera to capture the moment he smiles. Unfortunately, there seems to be a delay, and it ends up capturing the moment after he smiles, which could be less than half a second later. Similarly, when I try to capture the precise moment when someone's eyes open, the camera tends to capture moments when their eyes are closed. As a result, we've ended up with many photos like this when using the LCD screen. Interestingly, we didn't experience any similar issues with our Canon RP camera. This has led me to wonder if there might be a problem with my R6 Mark II, as I'm concerned about the possibility of receiving a defective unit. I was wondering if you have any insights into what might be causing this issue. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Just got my R6II as well. Maybe try to change the Display to Smooth. And also best to use viewfinder tbh.
@@AKSKMY Thanks. I returned the first one and get the second one directly from Canon and the same thing happens. The only SOLUTION is to turn off the Image review (Currently it's set for 2 seconds) under Option 3 and everything seems to work perfectly in both LCD and Viewfinder. I guess Canon may need to issue a new firmware to fix this.
@@pnd2045 Oh really? I didn’t seem to notice but hmm yeah I currently using Image review hold haha but turned off viewfinder review
Hi, just received my R6 Mark II and I’m wondering how I can take off the squares on my photo previews or is that just something I’ll just deal with?
The focusing point on the images taken or the AF fields in the viewfinder?
Hi Jan, is it possible to make a SETTINGS You NEED To KNOW guide for the Sony A1?
Haven’t used one in a while, but if I get one again, I may
@@jan_wegener Thank you
super
is it possible to enable autofocus face tracking while in photo mode? just like it works for video
You could set the AF to continuous activate eye tracking and it will track non stop
