Best Settings For Livestreaming With The Canon EOS M200 Mirrorless Camera!

[@OMGItsDerek]

Hey guys, I've had several people ask me about how to actually hook up the camera to their computer. Maybe I should have mentioned in the video that you need a capture card to capture a DSLR or mirror-less camera to your computer. This video was more about the best settings, but maybe I need to make one on how to actually set it up and what all you need. Subscribe as that video is probably coming!!! LOL Here's what you need to connect it to your computer. Elgato Cam Link - amzn.to/34WFyHh Micro HDMI to HDMI Cable - amzn.to/2VRahl0 You will need a Micro HDMI to normal HDMI as well to connect the camera to the capture card as the Canon EOS M200 uses Micro HDMI. Thanks!!!

[@Petramojomusic]

Yes we neeed😎

[@Petramojomusic]

When we do what you said in camera,do we need to adjust resolution or other things in obs like color or anything we already set in camera?

[@OMGItsDerek]

Think of it this way. Both work, if you're new setting it in camera is probably easiest and honestly canon's color science is good straight out of box. However, if you want more control and want to dial everything in to be a very specific look, you'll want to use filters or lut's in OBS to adjust things like contrast or color effects. If you understand how that stuff works I'd totally recommend trying it out or learning more about it as every little bit helps but again for 99% of people, canon out of the box is probably good enough!

[@cookwithoutabookbyvarsha414]

Very clear instructions. Thank you for helping to set up the camera.I have cooking channel & have one question - my recorded clips ( with canon EOS M200)some times flicker and closeups are not clear. Why so? whats the solution?

[@Mookeiz]

Do you have any solutions for when the camera turns off every 30 minutes while streaming? I have the auto off disabled but it still shuts off mid stream and i'll have to turn it back on (no overheating is occuring, camera just turns off) Which I know it's supposed to do that with no activity, but if I'm streaming I don't want to have to keep continuously turning it on every 30 minutes

Great video! First time in your channel. I would like to buy the M200. If you allow me one question please. When you use the camera in OBS for a zoom call, does it shuts down after 30 min or just keep running? If so, for how long? Does the screen stay active? Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; i'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy day!

[@OMGItsDerek]

Nope I use it for hours on end with no issues and I have the screen turn off after 1 min

[@NorthernVikingExplorer]

Great video! Does the m200 have unlimited runtime while streaming? I know many of the Canons are capped at 30min.

[@OMGItsDerek]

For streaming yes, I've used it for hours with no problem. You do have to make sure to turn off eco mode and stuff in the settings!

You have done it once again! After I plugged my camera directly into my computer using an old USB cell phone cord and no capture card (thanks to your other video), things looked great. Better than my Logitech C930e (though I am not saying that looked bad). However, after applying these settings, it looks fantastic. Quite honestly, I think I like the portrait setting the most. I don't want all of my pores showing. LOL. Thanks again!

[@JxKINGx]

Limitation of eos web utility: If you use a capture card, you don't get that black borders.

[@JayIsOutdoorsy]

Great video settings seem perfect. One Q how do we tell if recording? I'm running through an atem mini pro, recording to ssd before final editing. Camera is working great but there is no indication Rec is on. Does it automatically start recording as soon as cable is plugged in???

[@JayIsOutdoorsy]

Well I played around for 20 minutes. The answer - Yes recording starts automatically with clean HDMI out, running through an ATEM Mini Pro, saving onto SSD. Additionally there are no other lights or screen info on the M200 to show the info is being transmitted. Best way to tell is the image is on the monitor.

[@OMGItsDerek]

If you're talking about recording to the external device you're connected to then there would be no indication on the camera and it would just be recorded once you would hit record on your external device. If you're talking about on the camera even plugged in you would need to still hit the record button to also record on the camera

[@bullboykennels]

1080p @ 60 will eventually overheat and shutdown which is why even Canon says to use 1080p @ 30 as that will not happen. If you haven't already experienced it yourself on long streams.

[@OMGItsDerek]

I've never had an issue, but longest I stream is maybe 6 hours. Good to know tho. I did have it overheat on me one time when shooting actual video at 4k for a very long time.

[@brians_miscelaneous_stuff]

@@OMGItsDerek I would love to know how you get 6-hours out of your M200? I can never get that far when using it for Teams meetings. Using 1080P @30 to HDMI out into an Elgato HD60S+ will always trip the red flashing camera after 1.5 - 2-hours. When reading the Advanced User Guide for the M200 page 485 states "The Limited Movie Recording icon" comes on is the camera is recording or on standby for too long..." I'm not recording, but using the Clean HDMI out. How are you getting past this limitation? I have tried battery power, external power, and several lenses. Same issue.

[@OMGItsDerek]

No idea man, it's kinda like most electronics. For example with CPUs there is a market of ones that are found to be more high clockable then others. I can only speak my results. I will say I'm in an air conditioned house lol A cool 70 degrees but beyond that...I dunno

[@brians_miscelaneous_stuff]

@@OMGItsDerek I get such great compliments on the video from the M200. Especially, after using a whitbal card to get the color dialed in. Everyone wants to know why my video looks so much better. But, the 1.5-hour meeting limitation is getting irritating. I think I am about to pull the trigger and buy.a Sony A6100 and see if that works out better for me.

[@OMGItsDerek]

That's a great camera too and I will say people seem mixed about the m200. Like I said, I've had great success with it but it does seem like there's a lot of people that haven't.

First off thank you so much. I've been using the canon m200 for about a year as a webcam but always thought something wasn't right. My Logitech looked just as good. Watched your video and it has completely changed that for me. I do have a question. I'm have an issue with what looks to be like a screen tear or like the old school video cameras wear there is like a color tear but just in certain spots. Do you know what might be causing this.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Is this actually showing up in recordings and on stream or just on your monitor? I ask cause apparently with the latest update of OBS there has been peeps complainimg of this...including myself. Doesn't actually show up on stream or recordings for me just on my own monitor.

You can either connect it via USB using Canon's Webcam Utility Software or via HDMI using a capture card like the camlink 4k by elgato. I may try to do a video on exactly how to do this, but it's pretty straight forward. You just plug it in with one of those cables and it will show up inside obs.

Hey! Thanks for the video! Do you know any solution to keep the camera charging (via USB?) while streaming via HDMI?

[@OMGItsDerek]

Most cameras do not allow you to charge via usb. Some newer ones are starting to, however, the m200 is not one of those. Here is what i use, not just for the m200, but for all my cameras! amzn.to/2Xd4ic2

[@RicardoDiasPT]

@@OMGItsDerek Thanks for replying :) Yeah, I ended up ordering a similar one... It's a pity this small feature is missing and that it is so hard to find the respective official product from Canon.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Yeah, I agree. I think in the next year or two we will see most adopting usb-c ports which allow charging while using.

[@arambedrosian]

Hi, Maybe I missed it... but is there an 'auto-shut-off' that needs to disable on this camera (many Canons shut off after 30 min and it can't be disabled). Thanks!

[@OMGItsDerek]

You must turn off eco mode!

[@arambedrosian]

OMG It's Derek Thank you - are you 100% sure this works? I’ve spoken with Cannon customer service and apparently all Cannon LCDs go to sleep after 30 min (even when the auto-shut-off is “disabled”, even when they’re not recording - and even though the trade tariff that led to the 30 minute record limit to begin with is gone). Does the clean HDMI out ‘stay awake’ past 30 minutes? Or is this camera completely useless for streamers who want to go longer than 30 without awkwardly reaching around the camera. :-) Thanks.

[@OMGItsDerek]

As I said already, you must turn off eco mode. When you do, two new options pop up. One for the LCD which you're right, can only be left on for up to 30 mins and then an auto power off feature which you can disable completely. So yes, the screen will eventually turn off, which is the correct way to do it so you don't harm your LCD screen, however, the unit will not power off and will still work. :-) Thanks.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Personally, I don't even leave my lcd screen on for 30 minutes. I have it turn off after 1 minute. No sense in having it on while you're streaming unless you're obsessed with looking at yourself.

[@arambedrosian]

OMG It's Derek I don’t think you understand my question... The feed from cannons is from the LCD, and therefore the broadcast ‘goes to sleep’ after 30 minutes. This happened to me on a live feed the other day... and it’s well-documented. The Sony 6400 was touted as “not limited to 30 minutes”. What I’m wondering is if you can live stream from this camera for over 30 minutes without the feed going to the wake-up screen. Thanks. Obviously it’s not that good of a live stream camera if you can only go for 30 minutes before the feed cuts to some automatic ‘camera is asleep’ screen that the entire audience sees until you ‘wake it up’.

[@sebcool1994]

Hey Derek! How do I prevent my EOS M200 from overheating? I'm using the same settings as you, but the camera starts to overheat after 25 minutes or so and shortly after it turns off due to that. Initially I contacted Canon and they recommended that I switched to a new one at the vendor, which I did, but the new camera has the exact same issue. It happens both using a normal battery as well as a dummy battery connected to an AC to DC adapter. I've also tried with and without a an SD card, as the heat feels like it's coming from that side of the camera, but to no avail either. What am I doing wrong? Surely both cameras can't be having the exact same issue... Have you any experience with overheating issues on the EOS M20? I hope you can help me...

[@OMGItsDerek]

Hi, I've not had any issues with it overheating I'm sorry! I've noticed in the comments some people have and some people haven't. I've never once had this camera overheat in me in using it for about a year now when it comes to streaming via hdmi output. Sorry I can't help!

[@MEMO4R]

Take out the SD card and don't use the display panel in selfie mode.

[@madstimmermanndk]

Great content Derek! I have the Cam Link 4K with Canon G7X Mark 3 and the latest (but discontinued) Macbook 12" with 16GB ram and a 1000/1000MB internet. Since going from Panasonic Lumix GH4 my stream starts to lag. Is it because my mac is too bad? Is it because of bad settings on the G7X Mark 3 (I've just changed ALL settings to everything you said in this video)? Or something else? Thanks a lot!

[@OMGItsDerek]

Switching from one camera to another shouldn't change anything as since you are using the cam link 4k it should use the same amount of resources unless you are now streaming at a higher resolution, say 4k instead of 1080p with the camlink. If I had to venture a guess though, I'd say it's most likely due to your computer. Laptops especially can be hard to stream with even more recent ones as they get hotter they thermal throttle which would then cause your cpu to drop clock speed which could cause lag. If you are streaming at 1080p for example, I'd try lowering your stream to 720p and see what it does. OBS should signal whether you are dropping frames due to cpu overload or due to internet. I've had an issue where my internet was fine using it normally but when streaming it would randomly drop frames and I had to call out my cable company 5 times before we finally figured out it was randomly dropping connection for like a millisecond every 15 - 30 mins. Hope some of that helps, if not, hit me up again and maybe we can chat and see if we can get it figured out for ya.

[@madstimmermanndk]

@@OMGItsDerek Hi Derek, thanks for feedback! Looks like the G7X Mark 3 just isn't good for live streaming. Canon told me it has autofocus based on eyes, so when we look down for comments on macbook etc., the focus has a little bit problems. The new solution for us is using Switcher Studio with an iPhone and iPad - very easy setup, and iPhone just always is working without focus/lag problems :)

[@OMGItsDerek]

Glad to hear it and just a thought but maybe you could turn off eye autofocus and just use the normal type of focusing.

[@Recono]

how do i change the shutter speed? like on the camera itself?

[@OMGItsDerek]

The number that says 1/another number is your shutter speed....so 1/60 is a 60 shutter speed. So if your recording 1080p at 30fps you'd want a 1/60 shutter speed.

You can leave them as default. If they are set to default in OBS it will just use whatever source you have set in windows for your default input (mic) and default output (speakers). If you want to add each input and output separately in OBS you can, especially if you want it to be set manually you don't have to switch it in windows all the time. Either way works.

[@STOGG]

@@OMGItsDerek I figured it out. It changes when you adjust the zoom on the stock lens. Thanks for the response.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Ahh yeah depending on how far you are zoomed and affects the minimum aperture. That's why the lens is rated at 3.5 to 6.3. so in lenses this means that the minimum aperture will be 3.5 to 6.3 depending on how far you are zoomed in. So if you're zoomed all the way in on this lens the minimum aperture you can have is 6.3

[@STOGG]

@@OMGItsDerek Yes sir correct.

If I'm sitting at the desk with the cam at 50-60 cm from my face, is the "15-45 1:3.5-66.3 IS STM" lens sufficient to blur a background that is 2 meter behind me?

[@OMGItsDerek]

Eh not by much! Won't be very heavy blue but will be slightly. You'd need a better lens with a much smaller aperture!

I am here to enquire about the M200 audio like I am looking forward for vlogging and I need good audio so I need suggestions for the audio cause there is no audio port in M200 r8 ? . Plese suggest me .

[@OMGItsDerek]

You are correct. There is only the built in microphone. I use stick on wind muffs to help with wind noise and stuff. Like these ones. amzn.to/3fSOYrT They make the audio 100x better in my opinion for cameras that you can't add a microphone to!

Hey, how do you solve the overheating issue of Canon Eos m200?

[@OMGItsDerek]

As I said, it's not something I've had an issue with, hopefully someone who did will be able to help in the comments. I only have issues with this camera overheating if I'm trying to record video for long periods of time, not if I'm just using it for streaming.

[@Rizarjay]

If you're still having issues with this, make sure you are outputting to your PC (which is separate from the Recording setting) at FHD 1080p or 720p, and not 4K.. 4K will cause it to overheat.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Yep 100%, there is no need to be doing 4k! Great suggestion and one I didn't think of as I naturally just set mine to 1080p haha! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

[@rio197]

Thank you! I'm considering the M200 as one of my choices for streaming

No problem. If you decide to pick it up, make sure you come back and let me know how it works for you and what you think of it!

It's a great little camera for sure in my opinion!

Hey man. This video was so helpful. But...I’m having quality issues with the camera. I can’t put out the quality that I know this camera is capable of during my streams. I’m stuck and don’t know what else to do. Any help would so greatly appreciated.

[@OMGItsDerek]

What are your settings?

[@AnarchyReapxr]

My settings in obs? I set my camera up exactly how you said to in your video.

[@OMGItsDerek]

On the camera

[@AnarchyReapxr]

@@OMGItsDerek I have the camera set up exactly how you showed in your video. Fhd not 4K settings. I had the camera connect with usb and got the utility manager app on my pc to work but the just couldn’t get good quality in my stream. I then connected the camera with a capture device through hdmi and my quality is ok but I think the picture could still be better. With hdmi through the camera and not usb, the eso utility launcher won’t recognize the camera.

[@OMGItsDerek]

What are the settings on the camera in terms of aperture, iso, shutter speed

[@silversurfer3964]

I hear this 'shutter being double the framerate' but.. why? I get why you would not like to get below 1/60 for 60fps but why 1/125?

[@OMGItsDerek]

It creates the right type of motion blur that we are use to seeing in more traditional style media and has been the point that's been picked as the best for most viewers in terms of what they like the footage to look like if that makes sense.

[@oncreteconcrete5849]

i got the same camera and i use a cam link. the problem is the cam link shows the screen and the screen turns off every 30 mints, the camera doesn't have a option to shut it off, how do i stop from pressing the screen every 30 mints??

[@OMGItsDerek]

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. There are people that claim this camera turns off automatically for them after 30 minutes no matter what and there are people like me who do not have that problem. There are settings inside the camera to make sure it doesn't auto power off, but some say that still doesn't work for them. For myself, after changing the settings I mentioned I don't have that issue.

[@Petramojomusic]

Hi again,I know you say no 4k but I tried to connect this camera to live stream in 4k but it shows black in Obs but all other resolutions show normally and work.Also in Obs there is no option to set resolution 2160. Do you know why?Thank you!

[@OMGItsDerek]

It's probably because the camera can do 4k in the beta program. Also if the option isn't in OBS your computer probably isn't in 4k

[@SeanLake3D]

I can't set the film speed due to message HDMI info?

[@Alex-B-Media]

Hey bud. how do you get this m200 to not turn off after 30 seconds due to overheating?

[@OMGItsDerek]

Not sure, I don't have an issue with it overheating unless I'm actually recording 4k or 1080p 60fps directly to the camera. If I'm just using the hdmi out and not actually recording this camera does not overheat for me!

[@Alex-B-Media]

@@OMGItsDerek maybe that's my issue. I'm using the m200 with the webcam utility and a USB..

I've been asked this several times and I have heard of others having issues, but personally, I use it with no problems. One small note, I don't record while using it. Just using the hdmi out feature.

[@JGrissom25]

What do you use for power supply while using this to livestream?

[@OMGItsDerek]

Basically you use a battery that has a power cable attacked to it. They sell them on Amazon for fairly cheap. ~20 USD. I'm def ready for canon to start allowing USB charging or something like some of the sony's do, but it's a fairly painless process. I have used them for years throughout my camera career lol.

[@OMGItsDerek]

Here's what I'm talking about. amzn.to/2xCDwQz

[@JGrissom25]

OMG It's Derek I actually ordered this exact one when I ordered the camera yesterday! But I was worried bc I heard a ton of people saying to only buy Canon brand versions of this bc the third party ones have issues completely bricking cameras. I got 3 years insurance with the camera so if that happens it’ll be covered but still, I couldn’t even find a canon brand one anywhere. The one post I did find said “unavailable”

[@OMGItsDerek]

I've always used non canon brand and have never had an issue. but I guess that doesn't mean it can't happen lol. But not something I've ever worried about.

[@JCastell]

I'm streaming via an OBS and with the USB it recognises it but I'm having issues doing via wifi...

[@OMGItsDerek]

You can't use it as a wireless webcam or via WiFi. You need an HDMI to mini HDMI cable and a capture card that can accept it to use.

[@real-zaybei]

you dont need a capture card with M200 - use Web Utility from canon

[@OMGItsDerek]

True, but the canon software limits you to like 500p at 30fps. If you want 1080p at 60fps you still need one!

I have seen mixed comments about the unlimited runtime. I've used it for streaming with ZERO issues, however, I have heard others says something about unlimited runtime. I can only speak for myself. m200 doesn't have an external microphone. I use a standalone condenser microphone.

Interestingly enough, my m200, if you select clean FHD, automatically outputs 60 fps, no option to change it back to 30. Only way to change it back to 30, is by turning off the clean output.

[@OMGItsDerek]

It should depend on the settings you have selected in camera before turning clean hdmi on.

Canon lists the M200 as compatible with their webcam software that does not require a video capture adapter. You can connect directly with the usb cable www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/eos-webcam-utility

Hey guys, I've had several people ask me about how to actually hook up the camera to their computer. Maybe I should have mentioned in the video that you need a capture card to capture a DSLR or mirror-less camera to your computer. This video was more about the best settings, but maybe I need to make one on how to actually set it up and what all you need. Subscribe as that video is probably coming!!! LOL Here's what you need to connect it to your computer. Elgato Cam Link - amzn.to/34WFyHh Micro HDMI to HDMI Cable - amzn.to/2VRahl0 You will need a Micro HDMI to normal HDMI as well to connect the camera to the capture card as the Canon EOS M200 uses Micro HDMI.

Does this camera have limit to 30 minutes?

[@OMGItsDerek]

It has a record limit of 30 minutes. But as far as I know there are no limits if using it as a webcam. I say as far as I know because if you look in the comments there are people that are claiming it does, however, I've personally not had any issues with it. Again, it does have a record limit if you're actually recording meaning, after 30 mins you'll have to hit the record button again, but as a webcam, I've not had issues as you aren't actually recording to the camera when using it as one. Sorry I can't answer more definitively but with the amount of people that have gone back and forth in the comments about this, it's hard for me to give a concrete answer. As I've said to others, I've not had a problem with it personally.

If you're recording at 1080p 60fps this camera will overheat. It should not at 30fps. Also, I'm assuming you also mean recording. If you're using it as a webcam it shouldn't overheat.

@@OMGItsDerek, I get the overheating warning at 60fps. I set to 30fps then HDMI info disp to FHDR. No overheat issues yet. Although it seems that after selecting ‘HDMI Info Display’ it greys out the ability to select video quality.
