Hey man, been following you for a long time, great stuff! I set my wife up with this camera for her vlog, cause it's easy to use and looks great. She found that she was switching between settings for indoors, outdoors, and timelapse a lot, and it was frustrating to have to change all the time. Canon is a little weird with what features they restrict in what category, but I found that you can set up the "video camera" setting as a timelapse default, then I use the "C" setting as a default for indoor (not ND filter, etc), and the "M" setting for Outdoor. With auto ISO set to on on both. This way she can switch between indoor, outdoor, and timelapse, really fast. The only restriction I found so far is that, for some reason, you can't set IS to heavy in C or M, only in camera, so that's a small sacrifice, but worth it for on the fly, simple workflow stuff. Cheers
Could You Do A "Sony DSC-WX500 Tips" Video, Please?
A question to you, this camera is good for shooting at night, if not which one do you suggest? Cheers
OMG DONUT BAR - oh yeah also great video lol
My tip? Get a high-speed SD card to avoid lag between starting/stopping recordings. I use a SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB - works amazing!
Same!
Tq new lesson for me
why does the camera stop recording after 3o minutes? is that due to the size of the sd card cause i have a 32 gb inmy camera right now
It Was Jovi getting the 128gb it’s on sale rn and the quality seems amazing
TIAOFNEBULA yess
I just got this camera today and straight out of the box it shoots AMAZING! I was blown away! And the image stabilization is great! I can't wait to learn more about the settings and bring my vlogs up to another level. So happy!
My G7X tips - DIY or buy a wind screen for the stereo mics. Micover makes some decent ones. The two outer holes on the top are the mics. The cluster in the center is the speaker for playback. Trim the adhesive on the flash side if you plan to use the flash for photos. Get your grip and keep it. Moving your hand around on the camera can ruin audio.
Sean, I’ve been using this camera now for two years now for our vlog and was wondering if I was needing to upgrade cause of its fragility, but man, I think you sold me again on getting another! The built in features of this Mark II truly are impressive! Keep crushing it man
How fragile is it???
0:56 1 - Pick a frame rate
1:47 2 - Use the ND filter
2:32 3 - Use the autofocus modes
3:27 4 - Creative camera movements
5:06 5 - Creative Transitions
6:09 6 - Color Profiles
6:42 7 - Time Lapses
Sean youre the MAN! I never hit BUY so fast in my life. A true influencer. I cant wait to shoot exciting footage and create content with this camera.
I've had this camera for about 10 months now and love it! I just learned about the IS setting from your video. Thanks for your in-depth coverage of that! I like the self timer being able to take several photos. I have it set for 5 photos and 7 seven seconds when I'm trying to get a video thumbnail.
Quick, simple, and to the point. Very nice Sean! 😃👍
I've been using a g7X for quite a while, but definitely learned new things from this video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Hello Sean, you are one of the very few youtubers who deliver the message right to the point with great illustration that are very informative and helpful. Keep doing what you're doing man (Y)
Love these tips!! I just ordered my first one over the weekend!! So excited!
you will love it, let me know if you need any help, i've had one for a while. enjoy!
thank you for creating awesome tips.
I definitely need that camera, it looks simple to use with high quality videos! Thanks for all the info, I subbed btw
These were FANTASTIC tips! Thank you so much for this!
Just in time 🙌🏼 love these tech talk videos 🤓👍🏼
SuperJess TV 📸⚡️💯
Too bad you don't show us how to change setting :(
Exactly... would have been a more epic video!!
That's exactly what I'm thinking smh. Not everyone is a pro
N M his talking like we know exactly were to go to change the settings in fact he thinks we know what his talking about
I subscribed his channel without watching thid video...but i straight way unsubscribed his channel after watching your comment
oh damn, I clicked cus i thought he was gonna show lol
i use a g7x too :) thank you so much for sharing this! one of few videos that don't repeat tips.
Maya Lee you’re welcome!
Luis Amaya II when I record I have to put it in manual! :)
hi how long can you record the video as from what i know most of the camera can only record video for 30 mins ..and it will stop.in order to protect the processor ...how about this?
Maya Lee Agreed! This video was full of fresh ideas for me.
Ant suggestion on a exterior mic the mic on this sucks lol
Woohoo! I just got a Canon G7x Mark II for Christmas and these tips were awesome! That timelapse mode is AMAZING! 😄💪💕📷
I've seen a lot of reviews for the canon G7, but yours inspired me the most. Thanks it was very informative and useful!
A great tutorial! I just said to my husband yesterday that I want to buy this camera to step up my vlogs, this video is the perfect one to show him about what I can do with this camera :) thanks for sharing!
Can't go wrong with this camera! good luck...
I got it a few days ago and shot my first video with it yesterday.. Great camera, just need to learn all the settings.. Good luck if you buy it..
Sean your tips are always super useful. Straight to point with great examples. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
I had no idea it could time-lapse, this makes a huge difference! Thank you so much for those tips.
Loook I just Love Sean's Channel He has given me soo much tips and tricks tht I will use with or without this camera
*I am actually in love with this camera, I've owned one for a couple of months now and my only complaint would be the dust inside of the lens which compromises a lot of quality in both pictures and videos when any source of light strikes the lens. And Canon won't cover the repair under warranty. Other than that, it's amazing!* Great vid bro 💯
I have an ND filter on mine and it solves the problem... also lets you add a lens cap
I honestly had no idea that the G7X could be this dynamic.
This definitely has me reconsidering the current Sony model I am using.
Canon chose the right influencer to work with on this content. Congrats Sean!!
Also, would you consider making a comparison video with the Canon 80D and the SL2?
I think that would be valuable for many of us.
Also, did you use a gimbal to shoot a lot of this? I know the internal stabilization is good but If so, I'm wondering which one (:
Shelbizleee no gimbal, just hand shooting. I mean I can’t speak for Sean, but I have the g7x as well and the stabilization is unreal. Been shooting with it exclusively for 7 months and I still can’t get over it.
I agree, I had to go out and buy it today lol
Have you been able to compare the two cameras in the end? I’d be super curious to hear what you think of the Sony compared to this
Do you know what video editing software he is using, or can you recommend a basic version for beginners?
Really loved this video! I just ordered this camera after doing lots of research and I'm excited to try out these tips!
Awesome tutorial Sean! Thank you for always having THE BEST tech content on CZcams.
dope!! thanks for this
You're welcome - thanks for checking out the video!
Oo my GOD..THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE..the review was very clear,,on the point,lots of example.. This amazing review i ever see..good job..and thankyu🙏👏
Great examples! I’m thinking of getting one of these as a vlogging camera. Love the look 👌✨
Awesome - you'll love it!
Excelent video! I am using this camera and I think I still have a lot to learn, thank you so much for these tips!
This camera is one of the best purchases I've ever made, I adore it and it does everything I need it to for my videos! :D
I'm starting a youtube channel. Dont know a thing about shooting video. A total newbie. Would you recommend this camera?
What about taking pictures with it? Is it great as well for pictures?
This video will come in handy when I get the G7X II. 👍☺ Thank you!
You're welcome Barry!
I wish I had money to buy one 🙄😭
I don't use mine enough but when it comes to its size and the quality of the footage, it's worth every cent!
Agreed! I am still in the research mode but this camera is looking more and more like the top contender.
Kim Townsel It's a superb camera all together. Recently bought it and satisfied with its capability. Check this czcams.com/video/EEdLNL6Elqc/video.html
Your videos are so helpful, thanks for giving all these free tips!
Great tips!! Going to get that camera soon.
Solid tips Sean! Didn't know the IS settings were that good. And loved the transition tips.
Get outta my head Sean! I JUST bought the G7X II and I've been playing with it. It can go more places than my LUMIX G7. Truly love this little shooter.
😂 Crazy timing
Hey Sean . . Thank you so much for your videos . i don't know what i will be doing without your channel
This video is phenomenal !! Just wow!! Didn’t know this little camera could achieve so much !! Amazing !!
Awesome video 👌 just brought me a Canon G7 X and this video helped out a lot. Cheers mate all tha way from Sydney, AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 🙌
Does anyone know how to keep the self-timer on by default after you shut the camera off ? Each time I turn it on, the self-timer is off. I tried adding this to the custom dial setting, but can't. Thanks for any info.
i just got my canon g7x mark ii and this video is so helpful. definitely going to apply all these tricks in my upcoming japan travel. thank u so much! 🙌🏻
I've just ordered this today. Can't wait to start using it. Hope I've made the right decision.Great video as always
Thank you for the video Sean, hands down my personal favorite point and shoot! i have owned one for a while now and highly recommend, i use the following picture style: Sharpness: 0, Contrast -1, Saturation +1, Color Tone +1. great settings.
Great tip!!
What do you use for color grading?
Think Media I don’t do any color grading with these settings. I agree with you, if you want to color grade go for a neutral setting. When I do color grading I use Kyler Holland’s LUTs.
Where do you find those settings you mentioned?
Hi Sean! Great tips! This video was sent from heaven I purchased the canon G7x mark2 and my husband literally text me an hour ago that the package arrived! Can’t wait to go home and play with it ! 🤩🤩🤩
Cristina Santi awesome!! Crazy timing! 👊🏼💯
Cristina Santi congrats, always exciting to get new toys
play? Ur meant to vlog u idiot
I have the Canon G7X Mark II and the flip screen is so great for getting unusual camera angles without climbing fences/poles or crawling around on the ground. I use mine on a couple different small tripods/hand pods to get the effects and still see what's going on live by using the tilt screen. Great video by the way. You are so skilled in presenting facts and showing examples. Thank you.
Watched about 20 of your episodes today on Think Media and Video Influencers. Your videos are so clear and concise and not to mention INCREDIBLY helpful! Thanks for doing what you do!
Oh god. I really dont have idea about apperture thing. I am just using my camera as is. Now i know. Thanks for this video sir.
Awesome!!! 😊Love these quick tips!
Another great video! Thanks again for the tips and help with my own content 😊
your videos are so good, definitely using some of these tips. So glad you are working with Canon!
Your channel helped me so much I got 13 subbs in 1 day
Awesome Nate - happy to help - keep crushing it bro! 👊💯
Sean is awesome!!!!
congrats buddy, keep it up 👏
Nate Harry
me too
Thank you for the information! I graduated with a degree in photography but am just now beginning to play around with video. BTW shout out to Gott Love for directing us to your awesome channel!
I'm getting it for my birthday and these tips really inspired me to filming vlogs in my boring home town because of these editing tricks. Thank you! The timelapse idea was great and the reducing shakiness thing.
Thank you so much for a blend of tips and tricks in this video review of the camera. I appreciate that you always include real footage and photos into your lessons and reviews. It has helped me a ton in deciding which camera to purchase. From this video alone I can see why so many CZcamsrs use it for their Vlogging camera. Andddd I think I'm going to add it to my collection! Thanks again!
JUSTT ORDERED THIS CAMERA ONLINE!!! SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!!
How is it
Adventures with Ashawnya ME TOO!!
I recently bought this! I’m still learning how to use this camera though 😅
I’ve had the G7x mark ii for a while now. This is one of the best videos for using it! Great job as usual Sean.
What a great video! I can't express how much this video helped me with editing my travel videos. Thank you very much!
Love your channel btw
Thanks!
Great tips and tricks! Specially when you don’t have a dslr
Very helpful! I learned a lot of things I didn’t know the camera would do! Great video!
Thanks for making this video!! Just got this camera!! Love it so far. 😍🎥
I have one because of you
“THANK YOU”
So glad I found this channel, It really will help me alot! I'm saving up for this camera for sure! =D
Sean! You are always so upbeat and fun!! Thanks so much for this video, it was so helpful!
Thanks so much for your help, still trying to figure out a couple things with my camera. This helps a ton thanks!!!
I am planning to buy this camera when I gather enough money
Indian MOM In Australia keep at it!!!
Indian MOM In Australia same here. How much $US is it?
The price in NZ now is 749，around $US 500
@@trinistyle3191 I just bought yesterday at BestBuy its $599 plus tax and kit I paid $704 yesterday.. I'm gonna make vlog of my new camera later
I will donate!
Yay!
👊💯
Just got mine yesterday I feel that my vlogs are gonna be amazing with this cameta
Absolute the best video on the internet about this camera. I've been looking for this kind of video everywhere on yt. Thank you a lot. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Good to know
👊💯
Awesome video as always Sean. I’ve been using this camera for about 7 months now mostly on auto mode and I’ve been loving it. Will definitely be trying these tips to fine tune my footage in future videos!
Awesome Phil - awesome camera right!?
Think Media such an incredible camera! Of course I do wish they had a mic input, but even then, I find myself reaching for this way more than a dslr on most occasions. If the next generation g7x has a mic input, it’ll be a tough camera to top. Well, in terms of practicality and portability
Sean this was awesome. We love your channel and all your tips. Thanks for sharing!!!
this was the best vid about this camera ive seen so far. no one talked about the ND filter, or the image stabilization settings. OR the built in timelapse feature. insane. thanks!
love this thanks so much!! i just hit 1K :)
Can you please do a tips and tricks for canon sl2 please!! Thanks
Great video idea - added to the list!
I really love the G7X for its low light performance and as you said the stabilization is great because you don't need a fancy gimbal or anything of that sort. You can just go out and shoot cool stuff.
Actually, you got me into buying one of these about a year ago and i have not been disappointed yet👍
Greets from Germany!
Holy snap, I just bought this camera today and this video inspired me so much. Can't wait to work with it and see what magic I can make happen! THANK YOU!
I have a question for this camera. When zooming in or out while filming the zoom is very slow. Is there any settings or so to get it faster? Like the same speed it is when not filming and zooming. Anyone know?😁
That is just how the camera is. 👊🏼💯
What about external mic setting? Give some tips..
I need a good mic for my canon without breaking the bank 😭💸
buy G7X3
Cool Video ! Many thanks for sharing your tips. The footages look awesome.
Just purchased the G7X. Great tips. Thanks. Will make my vlogs better!
Help, I cant set my Dynamic IS settings to High, only to low and auto!!
Can you do a tutorial on how to download videos to a Mac from this camera? The WiFi won’t let me connect on the camera to my Mac and I have a wire for it and nothing pops up to download them on my Mac via usb either. Does anyone have any tips or have also had this issue?? I’m having trouble finding any helpful information on this
Do you have a card reader? Do you need this? amzn.to/2UmX2WB
Gott love sent me! Very informative video Sean. Love your passion in delivery. Nice 👍🏻
omg this was so helpful! Thank you!
procedures on how to do those tricks. It seems you assume we already know how to do it.
Yes!!
Is this camera still good to buy in 2019?? If not can you recommend me one for a beginner
Freddy Alegria I literally JUST got this camera January 2020 (given to me by a friend) and so far it’s been great. Very easy to use
Started my fashion nerdy channel! Bought this today cant wait to step it up!
Thank you Sean! Been following you forever! 🙌🏻
Hi, there! My husband and I will invest in this camera for Christmas, but I heard rumors of Canon G7 Mark III coming out with 4K and sound input... Do you know if that is true? This video sold me on the G7 camera, by the way. :)
I've been waiting for the 4k as well👍🏽
Hi Sean, would you still recommend this camera today? (March 2019)??
Layonie Jae want to know this too!!
Esra Gürler I’ve watched a few more videos of his and others too and I think that maybe the Canon EOS M50 might be the better one to get..? It’s only £100 more and apparently you get more value for your money.... that’s what it seems anyway but I would just like one of them to confirm that for me.. 😐
Yes girl! So worth it!
Chantel.Cuts.Up thanks honey, I’m going to get it at the end of this month 🤗 can’t wait!! xx
We recently just picked it up for about $650, definitely worth getting.
czcams.com/video/lzBvxb5pfUs/video.html
Love this video, truly great advice and no fluff - My compliments!
Just got this for Christmas 😍 looking forward to start using it for my channel. Thank you for the tips
4:15 someone fucked up while editing lol
but great video nonetheless!
I’ve always been a fan of Canon products. My biggest issue, is no 4K. I ended up getting a Sony. Even my phone has 4K.
ManCraftingTM to be honest 4K is still not a big deal in my opinion, unless of course you are shooting a big paid content for someone that requires you to shoot in 4K. It’s still expensive and you need a really good PC to edit on. I prefer Canon for the colors and great auto focus, personal preference.
It was a tough choice for me, but I made the jump. I agree, the colors are amazing.
I went with the Panasonic LX10 for this reason. Both are great cameras, but the 4K on the Panny and it's awesome screen and photo app won me over.
ManCraftingTM what is 4k
You may want to check out Casey Neistat's video on why he doesn't film in 4k.
I love this video! So many tips and tricks videos are useless and repetitive, but this video kept my attention and showed how great the camera can be! Thank you!!
Can't wait to get this camera! Thank you so much!
