This is the most understandable tutorial I ever come across. I am more of a visual learner and I thank you so much for providing material images for better understanding. I am wanting to pursue my interest in photography & perhaps videography again. Hoping for more visual tutorials from you.
I normally don't comment on youtube but I just wanna say wow. I arrived on this video interested on buying the R50, not knowing anything about cameras but your tutorial made me a little bit confident on understanding these things. An actual tutorial for beginners that everyone can understand. Thank you so much!
@connormccaskill Thank you! Any insight on using it to photograph the stars? Trying to build an astronomy channel but the gear to peoperly record through my cheap telescopes is very expensive..was hoping that a camera would help push me to the next level without breaking the bank for the short term. Appreciate your time
This is hands down the best tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for, covering everything from the basics of this camera to making us understand the exposure settings. Thanks a lot
Manual is a great. But if you feel overwhelmed starting off with Aperture priority is great. You pick your aperture and the camera will select everything else. Then you can use Shutter priority. Once you get the hang of those then going manual isn’t as overwhelming. If you want to “run and gun” aperture priority works really well.
I got the R50 this week and found this video very useful. I learned a lot regarding the settings and different photography terms and how to apply. Thank you!! ❤
Dude, such a good video. I’ve been watching camera stuff as an aspiring filmmaker for years trying to understand all the different terms and in 20 minutes I actually learned what they mean with the camera I wanna buy. Finally moving off an iPhone! Massive props to you and thank you 🙌
Man I just got my camera Friday! And been glued to TH-cam trying to get understanding on the proper settings for a beginner your video helped me so so much.
I just ordered the R50. Itll be here next Thursday. Super excited and now that I watched this video I wont be crazy confused using it out the box. Thanks for this video its very thorough and helps a lot!
Excellent video! I just purchased this camera today and this video has helped greatly! I would for sure give a "Menu Step 1" advice to be "adjust your auto dimmer and camera shut off!" lol.. for the first 5 minutes i kept thinking my battery wasn't charged; yet it was just the option that was switched on for screen dimmer and auto shut off. The option is located under the Wrench icon, page 2, under "Power Saving." Again, superb beginner advice and to-the-point definitions of things a noob like me need to hear (ISO, aperture, etc etc)
Excellent video and tutorial. I am strongly considering purchasing this camera to start my TH-cam channel. This video has pretty much confirmed my decision to buy it. Thank you!
Hello Connor. I just wanted to say thank you. I am a true beginner. My Canon R50 just arrived and your video has been very helpful. You have a great way of explaining things. Ben
Solid summary! I would add that the Camera Connect app can also be used to add location data to your images and videos, but if you use the same app to send pics to your phone, the location data does not come for the ride. Images copied from the SD card directly DO keep the location data.
I am not a beginner but I did just purchase the R50. I needed something small for hiking and biking. This is a great beginner video! I am hoping to make great use of the touch screen.
Hey man i just bought my camera today and i capture 3-4 pictures and 1 slow motion video. After seeing this tutorial for 1 time i am confident enough that i can pull some great images, i already know some teminology as i have 5 years of experience in mobile photgraphy. Again Thank you so much man this means a lot that you made a very simple and understanding videos like this. also one day I will be like you shooting some extra ordinary shoots
This sounds like completely new camera. I’ve been put off because camera phones are so good now but I am tempted with this one when I can afford it. It seems to have a lot of really good features and useful spec. Very impressed on everything I’ve read and heard about it.
On your tutorial with the camera, you show each location of a button and it's function. That helps me a lot! And your voice is clear, not run on sentences. Right now, my question/s, why is the price and year of many products hardly mentioned? What year is the Canon EOS R50? And what is the price range?
Glad you found the video mostly helpful! It’s difficult to cover everything in one video is the thing and the price tends to fluctuate. I have a link to the camera in the description if you want to continue your research.
thank you so much mannnnnnn!!! finally a video that makes sense. Now i understand this camera better and i've had it for almost a year! (i'm a super beginner) again, thank you :)
This was an outstanding video! I am a complete beginner and looking forward to getting started on this camera. And eventually learn how to edit videos. I will be visiting your channel frequently. 😁📸
This video was very informative and amazing. I am getting into the Videography and Marketing business and you showed me everything I needed to know. Thank You!
I really like the charts that demonstrate the various elements of (Boka) is that the right spelling? All of the charts with various settings of the 3 biggies is exactly what I need to focus on. The variables of the 3 elements is a very fuzzy (excuse the expression) concept. This camera is the best thing for me, because it provokes me to understand the SCIENCE behind it all. GREAT VIDEO! Thanks
While having a good compact sony, and a good cell phone. I'm really considering buying a R50. It looks like a beast of a camera. It seems great for traveling. The only thing that is a bit offputting is the price of the lenses. Have you tried the kit lenses? and how do they perform?
The kit lens is functional, but getting better lenses is the quickest way to improve the quality of your footage. Yeah the price of lenses can get a bit excessive sadly
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your video was very easy to understand, perfect for beginners. Do you have any tutorial on how to set up an external mic to this camera and what settings to use? I am planning to buy this camera with the Rode VideoMicro II. I'm assuming there is some settings adjustment needed to be made on the camera to record with the external mic.
The R50 is great and lightweight. But I wish I would’ve bought the R5 body and some cheap lenses to start. It’s like comparing analog and digital. R50 and EF lenses weren’t weatherproof and I shoot in the woods a lot. I’d also hit the dial with my right palm holding the R50 body. Still a great starter cam.
@@connormccaskill Hello bro, hope that you are doing well... I was going to ask you which camera is better R50 or R10? Hope you can help... I've been looking youtube for awhile, more I watch less I know... :) I would use it for videos and photos as well... videos of me and wife working out in gym... photos of my kids... that's it...
Man this video was super helpful! Quick question guys.. When you are shooting footage in 4K at 24fps, and you want to edit it alongside some slo-mo 1080p footage at 120fps, do you downsample the 4K footage to 1080p in post? Or do you just shoot 1080p instead of 4K to begin with? Hope this makes sense, I’m new to using a camera. Thanks!
Hey Man! great video - hope i can get your feedback. i am new to this and wanted to purchase this camera for sports - baseball / basketball - and some nightlife but not much. - i wanted to get the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens instead of the kits they offer online. what do you think of this setup ? looking for a camera i can grow with as well. been looking at videos for days now on which to purchase.
Yeah man that lens will be a much nicer lens than the kit lens. I think if you are shooting sports, you may want to looking into a more telephoto lens as well.
Hi there, thanks for this GREAT teaching video, watching it 1 year after but enjoying a lot, now I really hope you can read my comment and please tell if is it possible what is the lens you are using when you are at the building (4:40) minute, I am very beginning recently bought the R50 but still learning about the camera and results, thanks in advance
great video thanks. Just a FYI. The camera is unable to transfer images to a Google Pixel 7 phone (and maybe other Pixel phones) via Bluetooth or wi-fi. Apparently it's a known fault. I hope Canon and Google can sort this bug.
What specific lens and filters are you using on your R50 setup? I recently acquired my first R50, but I'm not entirely pleased with the performance of the included 18-45 lens. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated. Any PRO tips? Thanks 🙏
Hi there, excellent video for a beginner with this camera. I accidentally turned on something called an electronic level. I had no idea how to turn it off, but then accidentally turned it off. Is there a link to teach me how to turn it on and off that you can point me to? Thank you!!
Just another question, when you turned the dial to the M to do the settings for picture taking, does the settings here affects the video settings that was done earlier when you had them set for video recording? Just wondering if we have to adjust the settings manually every time we are switching from video mode to picture mode. Thanks again for the great video.
This is most useful video for beginners
