Beginners Guide to the Canon EOS 7D Part 1

[@mist15806]

this is a great guide for beginners. my dad's had this camera for years now and doesn't know how to use it to it's full potential, so i figured i might as well learn how. thanks for the video.

[@syedjawadshah79]

Hi - This video is amazing. Learned a lot, even after 12 years, worked as a charm. BTW, where can I rest of the parts of this Video series?

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@jbm03 I have been busy filming a feature film :) More tutorials are on their way for both this camera and filmmaking in general. Glad you liked it!

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@BustG there are two ways of doing this. First is by installing the provided software onto your computer, then using the provided usb cable and attaching it to your computer. Open up the EOS Utility Application and select the clips you want to download (usually its all of them). The second way is to use an external card reader insert the card into there. It will mount on your computer like an external harddrive. Hope this helps!

Thanks for a grt tutorial!! M handling d Canon7D camera for d very 1st tym. But wid ur simple tutorial it has helped to undrstand d basic functionalities..Thanks a ton!!

[@piesanstuff]

Just purchased this camera - as for entry level, I still have my Olympus Om1n (owned since 1984) and am very knowledgeable with it - however after using a variety of 'point & shoot' digital cameras I am now ready to accept defeat that they can even begin to replicate what I used to be able to do - As an artist I like to shoot my own pics of scenes to paint and did quite a bit of research before purchase. I really appreciate video instruction to help me with new technology. Many thanks.

[@seekingzeek]

Very helpful video! Thank you so much, is there a part 2? It amazes me how many people leave nasty comments.

[@yambarudan]

1:45 about the zoom function-GREAT TIP! I never knew about that function before! Thank you!

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@KITKNUCLES you are describing several situations where you need a variety of lenses. And it depends on how much you have to spend too. A good overall lens is a zoom, something that goes rather wide (18mm or so) to rather telephoto (135mm or so) This is the kit lens that comes with the 7D. My personal lens kit goes from about 3mm (fisheye) all the way to 300mm. And then I have the 50mm 1.8 lens, which is a great lens. All of this cost me about $300, minus the kit lens I got.

[@hangguy209]

Very helpful and straight forward. Thank you.

[@moehammondmedia]

Thanks a million.i really appreciate this tutorial. Very well done.

[@freetibet3]

Thank you so much for this course/introduction , this is so useful and well made!! I'm looking for the other ones!! ... :)

[@claudiomarionyc]

I'm really thinking about purchasing this camera - specifically for recording video. I honestly have never used a camera before but extremely impressed by the quality of this machine. What would you recommend me purchasing along with this camera to achieve the cinema look and feel that?

[@WOGI5M]

Thanks for this. I have this camera and I have no idea how to use it.

[@malshenton]

a really good tutorial.......hope further ones are on the way but thanks for this one at least....appreciated!

[@krazy4baja]

Do you have other tutorials. I only see part 1 on KZbin. I can't find part 2 and so on. Great tutorial by the way.

[@JoSan7o]

For manual ISO setting you did at this tutorial video, Its good to mention the Dial Mode must be selected to M ( Manual Mode ) otherwise the ISO numbers will not show up on the rear LCD Screen , (Auto ISO Mode) . very good tutorial thanks for sharing :-)

[@thescarletibis]

Well, it's a 'Prosumer' camera. It was one of the cameras (including the 5D, 1D and an Ari Super 16mm) that was used to shoot Black Swan.

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@WOGI5M glad you liked it! Let us know what else you would like to know and we will try and include it in the next video!

[@WOGI5M]

@TheRabbleHouse Can you maybe include some basic information on which lens to use in particular situations. I have three lenses and I don't know what the appropriate situation is to use them.

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@KatiushaVN4 this was actually shot on a 7D, which goes to show that you really need good lighting...this was shot in a dead room for sound purposes, which had really ugly and low lighting, meaning we had to bump up the ISO. It is almost maxed out on here. So if you want a reason to invest in lights, this video would b a calling card. We shot this very fast just to get the info out, not to look pretty :)

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@AlertaLPs Yes, great lens, I tried the 85mm 1.4 and loved it, but I will stick by my cheap 50mm 1.8 for many reasons. I don't worry about it as much as a 1.4 or even 1.2, and because of that I have done more with it in situations where one would be scrambling to cover their camera instead of getting the shot

[@ronandali]

part 2 please :D I like the way you explain it :)

[@respectfulremixer]

Uber helpful tutorial - thanks

[@kaitlinbishop6706]

this was so helpful thanks man

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@traiano that means you are shooting in PAL, not NTSC. Look at 2:05 for changing your video system. I was shooting in NTSC.

[@SonnyHendrixx]

yea, i finally learned something. come out with more on the 7d asap!

[@MrBongkies]

nice review really helpful

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@KITKNUCLES So to answer your question, get yourself a variety of lenses to cover the bases, so you will be prepared no matter what situation you run into. If you have the money, get lenses that have a low F-stop. And if you really have the money get yourself a set of primes. If not, get a good zoom or two :)

[@MozyBowzy11]

Thank you! I hope you make a second video!

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@krazy4baja part 2 is on the way, I promise! We have been wrapped up with making a feature and some other tutorials so we havn't quite been able to post as often as we would like :( but part 2 and more tutorials are on their way soon!

[@freetibet3]

I had the same pb, just need to switch the button on top left to "M", then click on "ISO". :) Well I guess you figured it out already...

[@eagle1effi]

Good help

[@simonmatthews7284]

Great video! For some reason my iso button doesn't work sometimes, and I don't know why. Sometimes it does. Perhaps it's a setting? Can anyone help?

[@masonhankins7142]

This is great thank you!

[@abhijeetsibartie]

nice tutorial u should upload more videos

[@surendrababuagnihotram4440]

Thanks

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@hristijank2 you can use the auto focus until you start recording, so the auto focus WILL work until you start recording, then you can no longer use auto focus...

[@nightubble]

@TheRabbleHouse hey there rabblehouse .. i just got my 7d .. what is a good price and very good quality lens to get if im taking food shots or near shots of toys where i wana blur the back ground .. i currenly have a 18-135

[@jmhughes3632]

i glad i watched your video or i wouldn't know you need a lens to do video thanks

[@MrJoshstudios]

Does the final wheel you show control the f-stop?

[@sparklekim101]

Can you take pictures of fireworks with this?

[@hristijank2]

@TheRabbleHouse cant you press half the button to focus? only if u press it fully i know it takes picture..

[@joeallev1]

WHen can we look forward to part2 on the EOS7D? I just got one the other day and the instruction guide gives me a head ache

[@camsimon123]

When I shoot in Manual I hit the iso and shutter speed buttons but nothing happens, I have to go into a different camera mode of them to individually work. I need to know how to get the best quality in low light situations

[@azgfetashow-media1997]

Big brother please can you help me?...how can back from meanu option.?.. .thanks?

[@garyg298]

Hi when I use live view to take photos.Where do the photos go? They did not go to the card.thanks

[@tonyrichengod9280]

Thank you for this video. How about Aperture control? Anyone?

[@willypep]

When I hit the ISO button, nothing comes up on the screen. Any help?

[@sincerelyadwoa]

same. did you figure it out?

[@marypowell2503]

same

[@leonstoma7432]

You are not putting it to the M on the left knob, after you put it will work just like in the video.

[@bengx21]

I just got a 7d and everytime I got to Av, Tv or manual and adjust the settings on aperture or shutter speed or iso and take a picture the camera gets stuck and does not take a picture. it's like the lens closes. Am i doing something wrong?

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@nightubble check out the canon 50mm 1.8 :) about $100, we LOVE it and use it all the time

[@GracieTriangle1]

When shooting video, it's better to set your focus by pushing all the way in with your optical zoom lens, not the digital zoom.

[@hristijank2]

@TheRabbleHouse oh xD well it still good to have manual focus than no focus on the point and shoots xD

[@PirlantaToubba]

I also dont get these numbers on the screen once i press on the ISO button, would appreciate some help :)

[@NappyTV123]

Thank you for helping me! I also film my videos using a canon 7D :D

[@savagedarcangelo1]

You Guys are fucking awesome!Thank you for saving me time

[@BustG]

how do i get the footage off of this cam

[@Chameleecon]

[@バイツ-u3e]

[@a.s.l711]

[@stharmony]

[@Arii_-ph4jm]

[@PirlantaToubba]

My movie recording settings on my 7D are the following: 1920x1080 25 1920x1080 24 1280x720 50 640x480 50 the fps is different to yours! how come?

[@0verd05e.]

Thank you

[@JW-ps8nm]

i am very confused.. when I clicked on the buttons of ISO/AF-DRIVE etc as shown in the video, nothing happened... like i dont have ISO options showing on the screen. Anyone can help me out? Sry i know it is a silly question..

[@merci_beautè]

Sometimes moving around the wheel that says "c3,c2,c1,b,m, av..." helps

[@michaelcheape7670]

cherreh!!

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@Ghostrider03Z nope

[@hristijank2]

@WOGI5M i know to work on this camera with closed eyes and i dont have it :(

[@TheRabbleHouse]

This is actually not true, unless you are using a constant aperture lens. By zooming in optically, setting focus, then zooming out, you will notice a focus shift resulting in an out of focus image

[@TheRabbleHouse]

@KatiushaVN4 why do u say that?

[@iCTechReviews]

*sigh* Trolls these days. Don't worry, i have the same experience sometimes.

[@TheRabbleHouse]

I have been looking forward to this day when I receive my first "retarded" comment! Thank you! Alright, so here is the scoop troll, Videographer and Cinematographer are two different things. Now I thank you for the complement on calling me a Cinematographer, but when this was shot and released, I was a Videographer. So please, leave your hateful comments on someone else's videos, and when you do, make sure you know what you are talking about

[@dawnkoll]

How is it possible that people who buy a pro camera don't know how to use it ? Makes me sick.

[@BustG]

how do i get the footage off of this fuckin cam

[@piesanstuff]

Is this a 'pro' camera - I don't think so
