BEST Video Settings For The Canon EOS R (2020)

[@davemilnes1147]

It's worth pointing out that, if you are shooting mostly stills but want to quickly shoot video in between (by hitting the red button on the top) it shoots video according to the custom C3 settings. So if you like your video to be say 60fps, or 4k, then you need to edit the C3 settings and REGISTER them...otherwise it won't remember the settings when you turn the camera off. Apologies if I have stated the obvious, but surely I can't be the only guy to have forgotten to register the C settings.....

[@JHawk]

That’s really good info! Interesting

[@Chaos_REG]

Thank you so much for putting this video out! Camera settings can be so overwhelming at times! It's awesome to have someone professional like yourself to share some best settings to use! Can't wait for the photo settings one!

[@JHawk]

Thanks so much man! Oddly enough there arent many videos about this, that arent hour long boring videos so tried to take my shot at it. Appreciate you and itll be dropping very soon

[@christianparrett4796]

Johnny, this was super helpful bro. Just got my EOS R a couple days ago and this was exactly what I needed to get all my settings figured out and understand the back end a little better. Thanks man, subscribed 🙌🏼

[@JHawk]

Ha ha that’s amazing! So glad you picked that up, and you found my video. Thanks so much for the comment and for the sub, cheers!

[@curbsideviews1354]

so did I, this thing in amazing .

Yo! Great video. If you don’t mind me asking a non camera related Q, where did you get that dope neon rectangular sign in your background?

[@JHawk]

JHawk thanks bro!

[@lighthunter1980]

Just discovering video on my EOS R after almost a year only stills shooting. Very helpful video. Thanks

[@JHawk]

That’s awesome! Glad you found video helpful, cheers!

[@Luno_and_Lamont]

Realllyy great video! Just getting into the EOS R can be a lot to keep in mind all this while shooting, so this video is great for a mental check. The ONE thing I would’ve liked to see was showing to enable high frame rate for 120fps and the cons of doing so. Otherwise great video again, thanks!

[@JHawk]

I personally wouldn't use 120fps on the R because its only 720p. but the same settings apply, i just bump my shutter to 1/250

[@Luno_and_Lamont]

@@JHawk I agree! Though if you NEED to capture something that fast on camera, it will still give you some great information to work with in post. At least that’s the best package I can afford for now!✊🏽

[@LarryCastle]

Man, what a helpful walk through! Thank you so much for the thorough, easy to understand explanations. Ths tutorial is gold!

[@JHawk]

My man, thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful 🤘🏻

[@davidbarnes3851]

Thanks JHawke, bought the EOS R a few weeks ago and your 2 clips on still and video settings were excellent. Give the man a pay rise. D

[@JHawk]

Haha thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful and congrats on the new camera!

[@Tech1Tv]

I have a Canon 77D and i was going to get a Canon EOS R last week, i decided to get a Sony 4K camcorder instead lol. Canon L lenses are too expensive for DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, they do have better video quality though.

[@JHawk]

All just depends on what you are going to use them for! But sounds like you did what was best for you. Sony 4k camcorder sounds solid. Either way appreciate you watching!

[@creativeexperimentation]

Thanks for the video JHawk! I had suggested making a video about getting the best out of this camera, LUTs, etc. So this video is perfect! Sharing on social media.

[@JHawk]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that, going to be dropping a photo version very soon as well :)

[@airsearch9192]

Frankly I love the look of THIS video more than my Canon EOS R. What did you shoot it with?

[@JHawk]

Think it was the RP

[@oyiondemand]

Please i have a question about the volume of my EOS camera , the volume of my videos i recorded are too low and people are complaining that they can't hear me, please how will i increase the camera's volume.?

[@JHawk]

Are you using a mic? The internal mic is not very good, but I do cover my audio settings for in camera in this video

[@zachlane3506]

any reason HDR movie shooting is greyed out? and how to enable that?

[@leonwong95]

4 years later, ISO 400 if I'm not mistaken it is the base ISO in order for this camera's Clog to capture all the informations it intend to.

[@LINY]

Super helpful, thanks dude 👍

[@downwiththekillas8062]

First off. This video is straight 🔥. Took my understanding/confidence in using my EOS R to a whole new level. Secondly, I was trying to follow your guide and make a B-Roll setting with Full HD and 59.98 FPS, however that option is greyed out. I can only select reg HD 59.98. Do you know why I am not able to select FHD?

[@JHawk]

Hmmm thats really weird? Maybe your memory card is too slow?? And thank you for watching!

[@BorderKTX69]

I guess you are using a efS lens

[@Jaminphotos]

I am just getting into video and decided to use the RP. Luts were not work in g well now I understand d why. This video was super helpful. Tha k you for the walk through. Also greatest thing I gained from this video is using custom settings thank you. My last video I switched from a e rates and forgot to adjust shutter speed

[@Petramojomusic]

Thank you so much! I just bought it for live stream but it shut off few times during the live stream and then changed color to some blue flares all over. I suspect bad Mini Hdmi so I will go buy new but can it be something else?I did all they say about Power off etc.

[@JHawk]

Hm not sure! Did the battery die maybe? You might have to get a dummy battery and maybe theres a settings for it to not auto shut off??

[@Petramojomusic]

@@JHawk I have dummy and bought new Hdmi and seems stable. Thank you for reply

[@ZakDeadlight]

I've still not seen any KZbin video credibly address Colour Profile and Settings. The presumption on most these videos is "shoot in C-LOG or Neutral, and then post-produce the flat profile". What about the times when you don't post-produce? Decisions such as the settings for Standard / Portrait / Landscape / Faithful colour profiles are important. As too are settings for Sharpness, Saturation & Contrast. For those not post-producing these are really important. Not addressed in this video - or others to be fair

[@JHawk]

I appreciate the feedback but the reason for that is very clear. These are the best settings that I use. Simple as that. Sorry if you didn't find the info you are looking for, maybe ill add it in sometime in the future. But if you want the highest quality image, this is what I use and that is what it is! Thanks for watching!

[@MKVD]

Of you're not color grading, use faithful

[@littlebritian2822]

Would this apply to photo & video for eos rp? I need that video too. Love the video :)

[@jriggins7416]

Great video! Do you have any thoughts on the true 24p mode vs 23.98?

[@JHawk]

Thanks so much! No I do not, honestly not sure why or when that would be used. 23.98 has been the “standard” for the film world for a long time. Would have to look into that more for its use. I know it says requires a compatible screen

[@markshirley01]

Hi - did you film this with the RP. Thanks this has been very helpful - Im thinking of moving over from Nikon to the R6 when its finally announced. I do hope that Canon has a video to photo switch that saves your settings tho, as this is essential for my hybrid work.

[@JHawk]

I did film this with the RP yes and yeah hopefully that is on the newer ones but its pretty simple on the r just press two buttons instead of one.

[@markshirley01]

@@JHawk its not thst simple tho - do you have to look at the mode change on the second click. Way easier with one action. Im back and forth all the time so it would alow me down.

[@JHawk]

Haha too each their own then! All I have to do is press the top button then info. Takes me about .2 seconds but it’s different than the switch agreed!

[@LNJTH]

SUPER helpful, thanks!! And your videos look so good - razor sharp 🔥🔥🔥

[@JHawk]

Hah thank you!

[@brunomncosta]

Hey bro! On my Canon R, even with the shutter speed correct and the image stabilizers turned off in camera and lens, I feel a beat in the image mainly when panning. It feels like the IS is active and is "fighting" the panning movement, however the IS is off. Do you know what it can be? Thanks and congratulations for the good job.

[@JHawk]

Hmmm I don’t sorry! Maybe your lens has IS? It shouldn’t do that with those settings

[@brunomncosta]

@@JHawk I've been reading about this and I'm starting to realize that to shoot pannings at 25 fps the movement has to be pretty slow. Even though I have all the settings correct, maybe I'm panning too fast for 25 fps, could that be it? Thanks :)

[@kingwilliam1964]

When im in c1 mode it says c1P and I cant adjust my aperture or shutter speed

Hmm somethings not right then

[@mariatortilla7133]

I have an EOS R, and after about 10 minutes it just stops filming video. How can I fix that?

[@JHawk]

It has a 30 min record limit? But 10 mins would only be if your memory card isn’t big enough

[@mariatortilla7133]

​@@JHawk hmmm, interesting. How can I stretch the record limit if it is set to 10 or 30 minutes? How could I go about doing that?

[@simplevisuals]

Hello! I just switched over from Sony to Canon so I’m totally new with my EOS R and I have a question. Have you ever experienced your 1080p videos looking soft? I usually don’t have issues shooting close up products where the videos look amazing! But when I start shooting commercial videos with people standing 5-7 feet away from me, I have face tracking turned on and for some reason they look pretty out of focus once I bring it over to edit. I end up needing to put a sharpen filter over most of clips.

[@JHawk]

Hmmm no I haven’t. What lens are you using? And also make sure you are shooting the ALL I 1080 not IPB

[@simplevisuals]

JHawk Thank you for your reply! I shoot with the RF 24-105mm lens, 23.98fps ALL-I and I also use CLOG (with +2 sharpness). I’ve only had my new EOS R for a month, so I probably still need to play around with the settings some more. But knowing now that you’ve never experienced soft footage coming out of the EOS R could definitely mean my focus settings might be off on my end! So thanks!

[@JHawk]

Yeah that combo should be solid. That’s odd! Maybe make sure you have the latest firmware update? And anytime, shoot me a DM on IG if you have more questions ✌🏻

[@zaher0007]

Which mode the camera here is it on manual mode?

[@JHawk]

Yes!

[@ButchFagan]

Does the EOS R have auto focus in 120fps?

[@JHawk]

I don’t believe so and keep in mind it’s on 720p

[@corybraden7651]

JHawk what tips do you have for 4K slow motion b roll of products? Using a 24-70 RF, handheld. I’ve been doing it slowly and then stabilize in post. I can’t get 1080p 60p to look good, looks too video like and low res. Any idea on that too?

[@JHawk]

@@ClassicalTechnology Hmmmm with the eos r? The 4k will be tough because the crop is so high it will always be pretty shakey. 1080 make sure its the ALL i 60 fps and that your shutter is 1/125. Other than that its hard to know without seeing! Hope that helps
