10 BEST EVER CANON TRICKS: Improve your photography with these hacks.

[@simon_dentremont]

I should have added! For the panic button: scroll down farther and set focus points to multiple points or eye tracking if you have it, as one point may not be enough to catch fast action. Also, set the autofocus to AI Servo, as you want the focus to follow the action! (Sorry I didn’t say this in the video, as my camera is already set this way by default).

[@luisurbina5115]

I can't seem to find the option of Register/Recall in my Canon 5D Mark 3. I guess that is what Custom Function C1, C2 and C3 do? Any comments?

[@simon_dentremont]

@@luisurbina5115 it does similar, but in one button press. They must have just started with the 5D IV, which does have it.

[@geraintlyons]

Thanks Simon. Great video as usual. I tend to use the star button for back button focusing. Interested in putting utilising a panic button too. Do you ever use back button focusing? What button do you assign that to if the panic button is the star?

[@InvisibleLightRec]

Dude. Your channel and content is awesome. Just found you and watched 5 vids back 2 back. I’ve been using my Canon cameras all wrong. M with auto ISO etc is gonna be my way to go.

Great content! And even better, 10 tips in 12 minutes. That signals some respect towards the valuable time of the viewers. There are other content creators who would stretch the same content unnecessarily to gain more video length for ad exposure, perhaps even making each of the short tips into its own 10-minute video. Much better this way, short and concise. Thanks for sharing! Pity the last trick doesn't work in my M6ii.

I really like the trick for saving settings on SD cards, customize SET button to image replay with magnification, and AEL to panic button. I used to press the magnification button wrongly during image review as it is too small at a strange location, Now I can hit the actual image replay and if I want to zoom in to check focus accuracy, I press the SET button. My Canon R5 is now so much ergonomic! Thank you for this great video!

One of my tricks, no only on Canon, is to set ISO to Auto all time when working in A/S/M/P mode (limited to 1600), and by this way, I set for example the speed or aperture I need and the camera adapts automatically the ISO to the available light.

When you format a card, you will also erase any saved settings file. Easy solution--have a separate memory card just for your saved settings that you can pop in any time to restore it. An old slow SD card is perfect for this. In fact, on the R5 you can create any number of settings files giving unique names for different types of photography (astro, landscape, wildlife). I also back up those settings files on a computer so I can load them on my cards as needed.

The R3 you can save your settings as well.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I know it's a month since you released this. You mentioned the LCD level, but mirrorless users have a level in the EVF and even DSLR users may have a level indicator in the OVF. That's very helpful when shooting handheld. Maybe in the future you could do a video on selecting, setting, and using the VF displays.

[@GB-AK]

On my R5 I set my DOF preview button to pull up my flash settings menu. This way when shooting with flash I can easily change the settings. Thanks for the emergency button tip, I did not know about that.

Great video, thanks! One comment to the saving of camera settings. Don't forget to download the settings to your computer before doing a card format in the camera (or even better right after you did the save). Format the card will also erase your saved camera settings!

[@simon_dentremont]

Thanks for that!

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

My Rebel XTi from 2007 has exactly four of these features, and sort-of similar-ish features to others. I also have my Set button set to image review, but it default to the entire image and I have to zoom in after. FC formatting is always on one of the five menus. Battery level and remaining images on the card are always displayed on the main screen. I can't custom name files, but I can tell the camera to reset the file numbers. I can't turn on the blinkies in normal image view, but it flashes them whenever I have the histogram on the screen with the image. One thing I appreciate about my camera the most is that the shutter button acts pretty much like your emergency mode button. As soon as I touch it to focus an image, the camera drops anything else I'm doing with it, and is ready to take a picture immediately. I'm almost always using some sort of automatic mode, so being on manual isn't going to catch me off-guard much. One of my favorite features is the auto-off function. I have my camera set to switch off after 30 seconds, and as soon as I touch the shutter button, it's back on and ready to go. It usually turns on and starts focusing in less time than it takes me to notice it was off. The best part is when it's auto-off, it uses the battery at about the same rate as if it was actually switched off. I've literally left my camera switched on for years at a time, because the auto-off function works so well, and it's way better for taking pictures in a hurry if it was already switched on from last time I had it out, instead of me having to remember to turn it back on.

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

10:20 "Emergency" button for registering/recalling shooting functions. One of the most tremendous shortcomings of most Nikon bodies (except for the very top-of-the-line models Z8/Z9) is that they do not have an option to save/recall shooting functions. All the way up to the Z6/7 II, the mode dial remains your best bet in such situations. Binding the recall function to a back button is also the reason I would never buy a Sony A7C (I or II) over the full-size bodies, since the smaller bodies don't have any suitable programmable function buttons on the back. Anyway, my next camera is going to be a Canon or Sony, not only for the superior AF but also for invaluable little life-savers like this.

[@thors8948]

Hi!, Thank you very much for the various tips for getting great photos. I have a query though. I have set back button autofocus and * for eye tracking.

One tip for battery life on the R5 and R6 - and maybe others? Buy a USB battery pack that supports Power Delivery at 30 watts or higher. Connect that to the USB-C port on your camera, and you can run on that battery. If you have the battery grip, it will even charge both batteries while the camera is off, one at a time.

I had mine set to zoom 100% and with my test shots of wildlife displayed on the screensaver of my apple tv I thought it zoomed in much more..

I am really enjoying your videos. I’ve just watched about 5 of them, and I don’t even have my camera yet. I’m an “enthusiast.” I’ve used SLR’s for years (decades actually), but let it all go to shoot with my IPhones. After several years of doing that, I’m missing a “real’ camera. I’ve usually had Nikons, but after watching your videos, I’m thinking mirrorless Canon. I want to learn from you, and have subscribed. I don’t want to get more camera than I need. I’m enthusiast level, I have a knack for getting greats shots of people with the best expressions. Not high on technical info, but I do know my iso from my aperture and how that relates to shutter speed. I’m getting old, and I have a bit of a shake… so I would like body stabilization. Of course I’m fascinated with being able to autofocus and then change the composition, of of course being able to focus on an eye…. Seems outrageously great. I’m thinking a Canon EF-M 18mm to 150mm lens would give me a great range without having to carry extra lenses. It is possible i have this ALL wrong. But if you can recommend a model for me, I’d really appreciate it. I dont have unlimited funds, so price is a consideration. But, I want enough camera to have fun using.

In case multiple set of settings have been saved (say one for landscape, one for sports, etc), seeing them deleted by formatting the card is a little bit annoying to say the least (I got bit by this 🙂).

Great video and great tips. I recently tried shooting in manual (after watching your videos), with aperture of 4 to 5.6 depending on the zoom of my lens, with auto ISO. It worked reasonably well, but shooting highly polished and reflective cars with the sun almost overhead made some of my shots under/over exposed. I introduced auto bracketing by one stop either way and still too many of my shots were under/over exposed.

I've been binging your videos, they're very informative to a beginner like me. I've been interested in starting out with interchangeable lens cameras, and I'm on the fence between the Canon EOS 250D (or Rebel SL3 in NA) DSLR or the Canon M50 Mk. 2 Mirrorless camera. The only main differences between them are the viewfinder, battery life and lens range (although an adapter could remedy that, but it's a bit pricey). Should I, a mildly informed but novice photographer begin with a DSLR or a mirrorless camera? I keep hearing about the disadvantages of DSLRs versus mirrorless, but at the same time about how mirrorless cameras simplify and make you lazy with your settings and shooting.
