Man so helpful!! Need the best settings for lavalier mic audio and post processing!!!

[@AndyFeliciotti]

Okay okay, give me a week!! and glad you liked it! you knew I had to take a deep dive on this camera, just a shame the grip is so tiny.

Very insightful Andy, thanks!

Thanks for this informative video. I have one doubt that can we turn on Back Button Focusing on Canon R50?

[@AndyFeliciotti]

Yes you can in the customize buttons tab. You can change the * button to "Metering and AF start".

[@DirtyPass]

I gotta say you did help break down lots of confusion while I dove into convention shooting and filming . Only thing is to maybe slow down a little : even with camera open it was hard keeping up with doing what you advised . Thanks though

Hi anybody give me guidance.. recently I bought a canon EOS R50, so when I take a photoshoot in the screen the image looks normal after checking the gallery I'm showing like *mirroring image* so how to fix this issue? Are there any options in the camera mirror on or off anytime else?

[@kristofferflorentino8443]

I don't have 4k3fps option, why?

[@AndyFeliciotti]

Your video mode is likely in PAL depending on what country you bought the camera. You can switch the video system in the settings. Or are you commenting specifically on 30fps vs 29.97?

[@shreyasgowda08]

Hi in my movie record size I'm not getting 30 fps or 60 , I'm just getting 50fps or 25 fps. How do i fix it

[@AndyFeliciotti]

You’re camera is set to the European standard PAL, you should be able to switch it to NTSC in setup menu 2 under “video system”.

[@k1redomega]

Great video and thank you. Just some constructive criticism from an absolute beginner. The distinction you made between one shot and servo was quite unclear. Seemed like basically the same thing but I’m guessing not in reality.

[@77jm77s]

I also bought the Canon R50 with the 18-45 mm lens but the lens cannot be completely retracted so it cannot reach the completely closed original position. I don't know if my description was understandable but is that normal or is my lens broken.

[@AndyFeliciotti]

From what I recall it had a notch that gave it some resistance to go back to the original state, so maybe twist slightly harder (it didn't take too much). If that doesn't work I would call Canon.

Hi, I just got my R50 and following your video settings, in the 4k setting, I only have 6 options. How come yours has more options to choose from?

[@troydeluca6836]

Thanks for the video, definitely learned some things. But… what I really need help with nobody seems to be able to tell me. I’m a beginner with photography but take hundreds of shots a day to sell clothes and other items on eBay. I got this camera in hopes of eliminating a problem I was having with iPhone but have the same issue. When I take a photo of a shirt for example from 1.5m, 70cm, 20cm away, the colour constantly changes and gets brighter and brighter. So I end up with 6 photos of the same item that are all a different colour! 🤬 How the heck do I stop this from happening? Is there some way to lock the exposure or brightness or something so the item stays the same colour regardless of how far away I am standing from it? Please help!🙏🏻

[@JoshWilliams123]

On the R5 there is a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" where there's a sliding scale. On the low end of the scale -3 is "Locked On" where the focus will track the face no matter who else appears in the frame. On the Canon R50 there isn't a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity". Is there an equivalent setting that locks focus on the person you tap regardless of who else enters the frame?

[@viviansalazar3927]

you are the best, I have a doubt, when I want to take photos in HDR format they are saved in HIF format (not HEIF), and my computer can not convert them, neither can Adobe Converter, or lightroom, or photoshop, maybe some program where I can convert these photos from “HIF” format to DNG, or JPG?

[@carolineblichager6730]

[@erikasato6434]

Thank you for the video, it was really informative and clear! I have a question: is it possible to create and save presets (ISO, aperture, and exposure) for quick access later on, like shortcuts? For instance, having one preset for low-light environments and another for bright conditions?

[@AndyFeliciotti]

So happy you liked it! You'll want to look up custom shooting modes, I believe the R50 let's you register 3 different ones (like most Canon cameras). With this you can setup presets like that.

Was it an official Canon branded one? I have one for my R5 and it works fine. I haven’t tried one for the R50. I believe you can also just plug the camera in via usb c to power it also.

[@AndyFeliciotti]

Hey Oliver, the R50 doesn’t have the curtain option like the R5. Anytime you change a lens I would just recommend making sure that the you do it quickly and keep the camera facing down to prevent particles from getting on the sensor.

can you also help me to choose which lens I should buy? I want to buy the Canon R50, but I don't know which lens I should buy. I need to do manly photos to my family.. so for example to a person (bokeh effect) or to group of persons. Which one of these lens you recommend to me? 1) CANON RF-S 55-210MM F5-7.1 IS STM 2) Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM 3) CANON RF 24MM F1.8 MACRO IS STM 4) Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM

[@AndyFeliciotti]

If you need bokeh I would put the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM high on your list. After that maybe the 24MM as well. The Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will be great for so many use cases but of course will have less blur. Hope this helps!
