- Video 1 of 6. In this video, Roberto Valenzuela will walk you through the entire shoot menu (red camera icon) in the Canon EOS R5 and R6. Roberto Valenzuela will also go over how he sets up the shoot menu to make it work seamlessly for himself for portraits and wedding photography.
Below are the links to the other Menu Items I created for you.
AF Menu: • Canon R5 & R6 Auto Foc...
Play Menu: • Canon R5 & R6 PLAY Men...
Set-Up Menu: • Canon R5 & Canon R6 SE...
Custom Functions Menu: • Canon R5 and Canon R6 ...
My Menu: • Canon R5 and Canon R6 ... - Jak na to + styl
Never delete these videos about the R5 set up. I have revisited these videos many times to help with 2nd camera set up and other tweaks I’ve needed as I become more experienced photographer. Thank you for these.
blew my mind when you said that the aspect ratio only affects what you see on the screen or in the EVF. and that when you edit the photo in LR, you will see the rest of the data. I always set it to full because I didn't want to lose information that I couldn't get back. Now I can have some freedom to choose. Like if I want to frame for Instagram, I can choose 1:1 or 16:9 for wallpapers and still keep that extra data for things like different sized prints. Thanks!
Thank you for the time and effort you put into the detailed explanation of the menu system in this amazing camera.
Brilliant, just got my R5 and this is soooo useful. There's far more here than just setting up your new camera; so many useful tips and advice - at all levels, amateur to pro. Thank you so much Roberto !!
Thank you so much for your great videos; I just unpacked my 6 today and am glued to your videos. You are really helping me get a great feel for the camera!
Buddy ! I've had this beast plus the 1.2 85 for a year. You helped more than anyone today! I shoot models and hair. Had major holes in the set up. You made my day. And btw. Great set up w the screen to your right. Really helpful. Best best best!! I can't wait to watch more.
Great video that every R5 and R6 owners (even all canon users) should watch. I am very very happy to encounter your R5 and R6 tutorials. I will watch every one of them without missing any seconds. Many many thanks...
Watched a few of your tutorials - excellent, thank you so much. Great explanation and right level of detail!
This is amazing! Exactly what I have been wanting! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Roberto, Your detailed, very clear explanation of each aspect of AF was fantastic! The best! And I have been watching every video I could find since getting my R5. More please👏👏
Your vids are sensational and do informative. Literally the best vids out there and I love them. I have learned so much from you. Major thanks...
Thank you so much Vyvyon!
I am viewing this the second time. Phenomenal. Making corrections on my R5 menu as he speaks. Priceless knowledge.
I recently purchased the R6, and it so different to the 5D IV.
Great information from Roberto about the menu system and explaining why he has changed some of the default setting.
There are many videos about this out there, but this is a no-brainer. I have followed Roberto for years, he is a great photographer, educator and inspiration.
Amazing Video Roberto!
dude, i love your videos and personality!
Amazing tutorial! Thank you for being so thorough.
Thank you for this information. I'm saving up for an R5 and can't wait to get my hands on one to start shooting again. Keep up the good work seniorito.
Thank you Jimmy! You are going to love the R5 when you get it.
Always dropping quality and informative videos. Greatly appreciate the work you do bro. peace.
Thank you sir! Glad it was helpful. I'll keep going with the rest of the menu videos. Six more to go.
Roberto, thank you SO MUCH for making this series of videos that explains the menus in detail. I have seen no other videos that comprehensively teaches what all the various settings in the menu system are for. These videos are long overdue. I found it very helpful and as soon as my R5 comes in, I will be ready to get it set up for the way I use my camera, thanks to you. Kudos! I'm not a portrait photographer but I'm impressed with your knowledge and your desire to share with others. Thank you very much!
Thank you my friend! Yes, customize the camera to your needs. These videos help you with ideas. But everyone is different and has different needs for their camera. Have fun with the R5!
These tutorials are brilliant. Thank you very much : )
Roberto, I just want to thank you for your very down-to-earth, real-world (and very logical) explanations concerning how and why you've chosen the menu options you have on your R5. These are really, really helpful videos that will assist me greatly in getting the one I have on order, optimized right out of the box. Thanks again.
You are very welcome! It's good to hear that people are enjoying them.
Thank you so much for putting together these videos! They certainly help clueless beginners like me! Subscribed!
Awesome to hear! Thank you!
Greatest video series on CZcams for the camera.
Thank you!!!
Watched all your explainer vidoes on the Canon R5/R6. Amazing!
I just ordered an R6...this is excellent info that will turn my focused reading of the manual...trial and error...into a quick check reference. I will probably watch this at least three more times. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I very much appreciate your videos. You provide very helpful information in a way that feels very real. Extremely helpful videos, thank you!
Best explaining videos!
Clear and to the point.Most of them do it as on a race speed..yes they know how to do..but we are it on our screen for the first time.
Everybody on world know English ,true...but not everybody grew up with native language English.So this explaining has not to be done as a fast forget all.
But all that is not here and the other video's are the same not that...it is real relaxed and pure and without extra show and screaming.Great and good done!
Nailed it! Great stuff as always....
Thank you señor! This is the first video of the menus. Six more to go.
Thanks for this series and all the time you put into it. It will save me time getting my R5 setup well for weddings.
Regarding exposure simulation, that one setting you don’t use ( it has an aperture icon), that one enables simulation while you press the depth of field preview button. So it’s there in an instant when you want it.
Regarding priority between focus and release in the AF settings, it’s not referring releasing focus. But releasing the shutter. I think what you’re telling the camera is “priority is to perfect focus before releasing the shutter” or “ trip the shutter as soon as the focus is close”.
Belas dicas, muito obrigado!!
Thank you for taking the time to go through each menu! I’m awaiting the arrival of my R6, currently using a 70D, so some of the cutting edge stuff is brand new to me. This will be bookmarked and watched often, along with the autofocus!
Same! I went 450D - 70D - R6. Allways happy with my purchases, R6 is a beast.
@@amrvt It is great! I’ve had it a few months ago…went Rebel-70D-R6. Best camera by far that I’ve owned!
Excellent. Will change at least four settings based on this video. Thanks.
Excellent info and explanation, help me a lot. Thanks ... You deserve to have much more Canoners as subscribers ... Greeting from Jakarta Indonesia
Glad it was helpful! I miss Jakarta! That place and the people were amazing! What a beautiful city!
Excellent I really appreciated finally someone that is a real shooter to explain some of this features great job. I’m a 30 year plus Canon user
Finally some explanation of what some of this function really are before
that not one can explain them in simple form.
Thank you so much Cesare! Glad you enjoyed them!
Hi im new to your channel Roberto and i like the way you said i like to shoot people hhhhh i found it very funny my friend keep up the good work im doing my settings on my new r6 and im glad to find your channel
Such a GREAT video!!!!
Thank you!!
An option to setting cropping in the Red camera menu is in the orange menu C fn 4. "Add Cropping Information". You still get the border lines on the screen and veiw finder and there are a few more size options like 4:5 which perfectly matches an 8x10 print. When the image comes into Lightroom, it's cropped to the aspect ratio you set in the camera. But the entire uncropped image is available when you open the crop tool in Lightroom (and probably Camera RAW too). I setup my R5 this way and then added a setting in my import preset to crop to "original" so the entire frame is available to me as default since only a small portion of my work gets printed at 8x10. Both ways really help me to remember to leave enough space on the ends of a group portrait so the client can print at 8x10 if they want. It's a tough spot to be in when they can't!
This detailed series has really been helpful in giving me creative ways to use all of the customization of the R5. Thanks. I just shot my first wedding with one and love just about everything about it. I
wow this is amazing
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
Like your edit :)
Love your videos
Please make a video on best settings of using a strobe with your R6
Very helpful!
Thank you Rodan. Glad to hear it.
Very informative video. The level of explanation/function within each setting is excellent. Learned a great deal. One suggestion, please reduce the number of interruptions with advertisements, very frustrating and distracting.
Great video, Roberto. Thanks. One obscure piece of info that took me a while to unravel: At 19:16 you talk about the color space. If one selects Adobe RGB the file name prefix of the photographs changes. I had gone into the 'Tools' (Wrench) menu and changed my file name prefix to R6A_. However all my filenames started with _6A_ . Whatever I selected as a prefix, that _6A_ remained in the filename. Turns out that this is the result of selecting Adobe RGB in the Color Space. I changed it back to sRGB and thereafter the filenames started with my R6A_ prefix. Like you, I shoot in RAW so the sRGB or Adobe doesn't make a difference to me. Now.......in doing this research I learned that Canon sets a 4-character filename prefix as default and this default is different for every camera. Kinda neat if one submits photos to sites that are accepting photos from many sources: this prefix will be unique to your photos. And, yes, I know that it's easy to change filenames entirely by non-camera means! Anyway, just another bit of info. Keep the tutorials coming, please!
In looking at what is displayed in this message the italicized 6A prefixes should have showed up as underscore-6-A-underscore (4 characters).
Thanks for posting this and the classes you have on Creative Live.
Pretty sure that switching to 1.6 crop won’t change the compression of the lens though. How much of the frame is full will change, but it won’t make the background appear close to the subject.
You are 100% correct, but it is a convenient way to change the appearance of a different focal length on the spot without having to switch lenses.
Gracias!
Good man. Thank you for clarifying. :-)
I love my R6. Amazing camera
Agreed!
Good stuff for setting R5
Thank you Naresh!
@@RobertoValenzuela actually I do landscape as well as bird photography, and I want to go for C1 and C2 custom set up. Not really finding handy.Any idea?
Great video Roberto! Very detailed & well explained. I like the touch focus, but I am left-eye dominant so my big nose gets in the way when I use my right thumb to focus on the screen. But I can hold the camera with two hands and use my left-thumb to focus which works perfectly well. Also, wouldn't you want your AF pt. sensitivity set to +1-high, so the camera focuses on your moving target in SERVO mode as fast as possible? Thanks!
Thanks for this Roberto. One omission: image stabilization settings - any tips on this, please?
Great videos. Is there a setting to only have IS active on an EF lens when the shutter button is depressed.
Great videos!! I have all settings working on my r5 except the switching of the eyes when using eytracking. Driving me crazy. What am I doing wrong. I have eytracking servo on star button. It tracks ok but I can’t change/choose eye or subject. Help much appreciated
Nice ..Fabulous explanation..How to get Dual pixel raw option in my R6 ..
Good work as usual. Just wonder any tips on shooting with classes on
Sure thing, the angle deon the main light to the glasses, should be different than the angle from your camera to the main subject. This way, you won’t see a reflection in the glasses.
I liked when you said that expression on 27:26. Lol
NOTE - You can't restrict shooting modes on the R6 (on either firmware 1.1 or 1.1.1). Odd that this would be an R5-only configuration, but there you go. Otherwise all the tips you offered in these videos work on the R6.
I picked up another R6 (this one with grip) and just came through a triple-header all-R6 wedding weekend. The camera still blows me away and my previously beloved MarkIV's feel so 2016 by comparison. I went back and watched your menu configuration videos as this camera takes more to time and consideration to customize than a dSLR. Electronic shutter or mechanical? One shot or Servo? Face/eye track or single-point? We never had (or really used) these options before and assigning which button for which mode change is a refining process. After each event I change up one or two things. Adding the grip brought on other considerations (another button set, finger movements, etc).
The game-changing paradigm here can't be overstated. To casually give posing instructions while shooting at ƒ1.4 or 1.2, knowing the lead eye will always be tack sharp feels like a dream. The shooter/subject relationship moves beyond "straighten your spine, throw your shoulders back" and you're able to calmly throw in "you really must be proud of your children today" and bingo, a new world of intimacy opens up ... because you know that shallowing shooting is going to be crazy sharp. YOU'RE at ease, so the clients are, too.
It's a great time to be a photographer. Thanks for all your continuing inspiration.
When you shoot vertical on my live is screen my picture is up side down how do I change it ?
Outstanding videos. On an unrelated subject. Does anyone miss the the capability of using the auto focus assist beam on a flash??? Great thing to have in super low light but doesn't work on Rs. Apparently an issue with all mirrorless cameras and CPS had no answer.
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Great video! Expo simulation is one of the key advantages of mirrorless camera. I don't think people should disable it in any case.
I disable when I’m using strobes.
Hey Roberto! In a different video you mentioned that sometimes you'll shoot a quick video and then grab a still from that video. What movie recording settings do you have it on for that? You mentioned so quickly that I didn't catch it, but I love that idea! Thanks :)
All of your videos are fantastic! But... I could use a detailed explanation for the external speedlite control. Most of my photos involve wildlife and landscapes, but I would like to learn how to incorporate people into my landscapes. I have a 430 Ex iii rt that I've barely used because I can't find any decent videos on using it externally.
Hi Cindy, thank you for your message. I just recently made a new video for the custom functions of Canon flashes. I used the new Canon EL-1 flash, but many menu items are the same regardless of the model number. Anyway, it's not exactly what you are looking for, but it will certainly be useful if you want to learn more about flash.
On my R6 I have a menu called “Digital IS” , I’m confused is it related to enabling IBIS or some other type of digital motion enhancement for video only?
I've just discovered your channel. A MASSIVE THANK YOU for helping me set up my new Canon R5. Quick question. Which 35mm lens are you using with this camera?
Thank you! I’m using the RF 35 mm f1.8 lens.
Thanks.
Nice.
I cannot do half-press my shutter button. Is it related to the setting problem?
Thank u for the detailed video, my only problem is why canon chose such high cropping 1.6x crop? Thats a bit extreme, why not the customer decide? For me 1.3x or 1.4x is more then enough otherwise the quality compromises too much.
Dude, thank you. I just bought R6 and all ur videos helped to understand the camera better. Kudos to you. I have a small concern, in both EVF and back screen i see a black outlined circle at the center which is related to metering mode. The circle disappears in Evaluative and Center-weighted average, but visible in other two metering mode. I personally use Spot metering. Is there a way to disable that circle? or Do you recommend any?
Hi Naveen, thank you for your comment. And no, there is no way to get rid of the circle in spot meter mode.
Hi Daniel, Got a question for you. I have the R5 with Godox Flash and need to use Exp.comp./AEB (-2, 0, +3) bracketing. I'm on M mode. Bracketing is working without the flash, but Bracketing isn't working with the flash.? Its disabled (option is grayed out)?
Thanks Roberto. An excellent in dept coverage of the main shooting menu items. Just one comment, the second item under "Exposure Simulation" called "During" does not refer to during exposure, it refers to the depth of field preview button. ie. Normally you will see the Display option, but if you press the depth of field preview button it temporarily changes to Simulation option. I made the same mistake.
Oh good to know! Thanks Bruce! That's very helpful.
R6. Is there a way to keep ON the 3x3 grid or electronic level while recording video? These stay on until the moment i press the record button, then disappear. My videos keep coming out with a tilted horizon. Thank you
Love your videos Roberto. My question is would most of these setting work as well with the EOS R. I shoot with the R and love the shots it produce. Keep the videos coming!!!
Thank you Eric, The R is pretty similar as far as the menus are concerned to the R5 and R6, so I would say yes. But clearly not everything will transfer over.
@@RobertoValenzuela Thanks!
I'm not sure crop mode affects distortion or compression. Crop mode merely changes field-of-view by cropping pixels in camera. It produces the same affect as cropping in post.
Crop mode does not effect compression. It’s just a convenient way to get a different perspective with the same lens.
@@RobertoValenzuela Correct. But about 12:20 in the video, you said crop mode can take a 70mm lens beyond 100mm and improve compression and distortion. The only advantage to crop mode would be to enlarge the subject which might aid precise focus. Otherwise, crop in post.
All your books are really outstanding! This video is very helpful.
@@djack41 Thx djack41. With everything going on to make these videos, a couple of mistakes fell through the cracks. But I hope people can catch it.
Great video!! So does lens aberration correction get applied to the RAW file or just the jpeg? And will lightroom know it's been applied so that you don't accidentally correct it again and make the image even worse (lets say it's baked into a preset that you use).
I don't use Lightroom, but I'm sure all the info travels with the EXIF data when it gets transferred. I also believe the corrections look better when they are done organically through the Canon software than through a generic third party program.
"You sign your paper and they rip you off" the car dealer...Epic...Funny
Haha! It’s true! 😛
What does the hand next to the battery indicator mean?
I tried 250 second in Elec 1st curtain sync and it didn't work. Thoughts?
When you put the format into 1.6 x crop, will it enable to use EFS lenses with the adapter?
Yes it will. I tried sigma 18-35 f1.8 and it switches automatically to 1.6 cropped, which is great. With older sigma, such as 8-16mm, you have switch manually, but it still works.
Hi Roberto, I recently got the R6 and have watched your videos multiple times now. They were super helpful when I set up my camera. Now my question: I had it on 4:3 b/c you said not to worry, the whole pic will be imported into LR. However, that was not the case, all images showed full frame for a split second during import and then cropped to 4:3. What am I missing?
Hi! Pachrian, that’s just a setting on Lightroom. It’s respecting the crop. It the actual file recorded on your memory card is the full file. Try opening it in Canon’s native raw procesador and you will see the full file.
Concerning the 1.6 crop factor; 70 mm will be 112 mm for sure but the compression will not be the same as a 112 mm lens, right ? It is just cropping the frame as I understand.
Roberto, Your videos have been very helpful in guiding me through the R6 set up. One issue I have is when I am in the studio and shooting on Manual mode with studio lights the viewfinder is way too dark (ISO 125, 1/125, F-11). There is not enough ambient light in the studio to allow me to see my subject. I have played with the viewfinder brightness and consulted my Camera manual but this one issue still eludes me when shooting in the studio. When in Av mode in ambient light everything is good. Any insights?? Thanking you in advance.
Please disregard this question, I finally figured it out. Sorry.
Hi Kip, the solution to your problem can be solved by turning the EXPOSURE SIMULATION "OFF" when shooting in studio. Turn it back "ON" when shooting outside. That's it. Thx for listening to the videos.
@@RobertoValenzuela Thank you very much. I enjoy very much your videos.
With some EF lenses, the "Peripheral illumination correction" can create an awkward vignette.
Do lens aberration correction work on raw files, or just jpegs? If it works on raw files, is this something that I can integrate in my Lightroom workflow? In other words, is the information written on the raw file, and is Adobe able to extract that info? I usually apply lens profile corrections straight from Lightroom, but i'd love to be able to skip that step and have it done in-camera.
I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that the corrections are embedded in the RAW file and therefore, you can skip it on Lightroom. Plus, when you do it on camera, it is superior than any generic correction that raw editors could apply.
During exposure simulation which one do you select when you’re shooting the party and using flash
When the flash or strobe is the main light source, I turn off exposure simulation.
thank you
Do you have any video on photo printing
Not yet, but will work on this.
can u make RAW go to 1 card and compressed RAW to the other card?
Unfortunately no. it's either Raw and Jpeg, or both the same. But you can't do Raw and Compressed Raw. : (
Dual Pixel RAW and some other features are not available in R6, incase anyone was wondering, like me ;-)
Yes that’s correct, only the R5 has DPR, but not many people use this feature anyway. In fact, I don’t know anyone that does. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the videos.
Hi, Could you check Camara/Nº6/Intervalometer timer. I got a R6 and it not working properly, everything it looks ok on screen but in the end, secuences of photos are not in the card, just the first one. thanks
I don't know what it could be, but just to eliminate the obvious, did you make sure to choose more than one photo in the Interval Timer settings? Just for kicks, choose these settings and try again: Interval: Choose every 10 seconds. No. of Shots: Choose 10. Try again after that.
Another CZcamsr reported Intervalometer only shoots first photo if you use back button focus. Put focus on the shutter button as a workaround until Canon fixes this with a firmware update.
Yeap, I got it on Saturday, you can go with back focus and set C1 for timelapses with Shutter focus, thanks
I'm confused by the 1.6 crop on a 45 mp divided by 1.6 it comes out to 28 megapixels 17 is 2.6. Do you divide the MP by the crop factor or crop factor plus one?
James Deboi I read that in the camera manual. Not sure how they figured it out.
By cropping 1.6, your are left with around 40% of the sensor 45*0.4=18
Is DLO changing raw files on R5/6 now or still just metadata for DPP post processing?
What's DLO?
@@RobertoValenzuela Digital Lens Optimization under lens aberration correction. I'm wondering if DPP is still needed to get value out of enabling DLO in camera, or it now can provide changes directly to CR3-file so it can be a benefit to non-DPP users (could be Lightroom).
One question Roberto. Why I can not down load the RAW picture in my Mac ? I have to do it RAW+JPG
I don't know. Which application are you using? The latest Photoshop CC 2020 can open the RAW files no problem.
@@RobertoValenzuela Thank you for replying. What happen is if I take a picture on pure RAW and try to down load it in the MacBook pro or Macboo air the picture will be blank, If I take it on JPEG or combination RAW+JPEG then the picture is going to show in the Icon Photo in the Mac, this is happening with the Canon R5. It is not on Photoshop, it is in the folder PHOTO. Thanks
There was no commentary on Image Stabilizer - was there a reason to leave that out?
Well, there is two types. IBIS, and Lens Image Stabilizer. Sometimes, both work in conjunction with each other, and other times, the lens works on its own.
Amazing videos for sure! You've helped me understand my R6 way better. I do have a question, however on the 1.6 crop mode. Other than what you see in the VF, what's the point? You'd get the same thing by just cropping later.
it's really to help with framing. sure, you can leave it to full and then crop later. but sometimes, you'll realize that you didn't frame properly for a good crop. for example, Instagram has a 1:1 aspect ratio. If you set it to 1:1, you can easily frame your subject for that 1:1. And then with the "hidden" data, you can use that for other purposes like later cropping for a 16:9 screen or a 8x10 print. But if you shoot at FULL, you might accidentally frame it in a way that when you do your post 1:1 crop, it might cut off a background bush that you want to keep.
Unfortunately the canon photo editing software is only for mac
You didn't mention how to switch from face detection to single point in a fraction of a second !
I did. It's one of the programmable buttons. That info is at 19:10 on this video: czcams.com/video/uLFJIbCv1qs/video.html
@@RobertoValenzuela Thank you.. I didn't check that one... I'm going straight to it
0:49 - When you said "When you buy a car at the dealership and you sign the paperwork and they rip you off...." I could tell this video was already off to a great start!
22:53 - WHY DID CANON USE A micro-HDMI CONNECTION!?!? They should have stuck with the mini-HDMI connection because the micro-HDMI seems too fragile.
Haha! They do rip you off at the car dealership. About the micro-HDMI, I wish the same. But it must have been a space saving situation.
Brilliant video and so informative! Canon also have a live chat where they can answer questions directly - www.canon.co.uk/canonlive/live-chat/?
koo videos bro
Cropping will not make same "compress" look as using narrower lens.
Yes, the sensor crop just crops the image as if you were doing it in post production.
@@RobertoValenzuela 12:38
Yes I know, what I said about the 1.6x is a mistake.
I removed that section of the video.
incomplete, I was waiting for AF and ended?
Efrain Sueldo The AF menu is the next video. Also, please note that this video clearly says it is only going to cover the SHOOT MENU. That's also why the icon is red. The description also makes this clear. The AF video is coming soon.
