I know this video is 6 yrs old, but i just found it and I wanna tell ya it was awesome. Been using a T5 for the last 8 yrs, off and on learning, seriously learning the last 2 yrs. I finally upgraded to the 5D MK IV and after being used to the T5 this was gonna be a very hard challenge learning all these old yet new to me features. Your 1 hour video did more for me than I could have done for myself in 6-8 months of self learning. For that I am truly thankful.

[@sara_no_h_92]

I've been using the T5i since 2014ish....just found a 5d on ebay for a decent deal - glad to hear this video will be worth my time!

[@leonlefebvre6705]

Holy cow! I thought my eyesights been going for a half a year. It was the diopter! Lol I’m so glad I watched this thank you tony!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@jameskeener7251]

I'm on a job with a fellow who has a bag full of great Canon EF lenses, and he said the 5D IV is the best DSLR Canon makes. I found a used one in good shape with a low price and found your video to help me get started. It was a good choice. VERY helpful information. You're a really smart guy! Thanks.

[@davomo89]

Thank you for this. I just received the camera as a gift and have no clue to to work it. This REALLY helped me before a photo session.

[@JuhaNoerger]

thank you! contemplating getting this camera as an update from the 6d mark ii, primarily due to the autofocus issues with that camera. very informative presentation. thanks again!

[@LunkerFishing]

I am a long time subscriber and watched this long video from beginning to end. I am an amateur but bought a Mark IV, to be delivered tomorrow, so your video is greatly appreciated and well done.

[@basilbcf]

When you talk about the focusing area selection, you describe using the M-fn button to cycle through those different focus area options. However, you don't mention (or maybe I missed it) that there is a new button introduced on the 5D IV that does the same thing. It is the "AF Area Selection Button" that is just below and to the right of the joystick. It's a little easier to find with your thumb than finding the M-fn button with your finger. Either will work, but that new button was added specifically for that purpose (likely due to user feedback requesting an easier way to to AF area selection.)

[@billearl325]

Awesome video. I am an experienced photog. I am very happy with my 5diii but needed to upgrade my 7D (sensor not good in low light) so one of my sons inherited it, and I just purchased the 5d4. This will be a great addition to our business (we always have two shooters at weddings). Thanks for the quick tune-up.

[@lovesofi98]

WONDERFUL i bin looking at you training and i am so blessed. my new camera is a 5Ds coming from a 7D. i learn a lot from you tonight. woooow. thank you i am a Lightroom user too . will look for your book.

[@lawrencewinter]

I'd like to thank you for providing such well balanced and intelligent content free of charge. I trust your opinions and learn a lot from your material. Payback for you is I bought your book. I don't know how you have so much time to write, shoot, edit and upload so much stuff, let alone get hold of all this kit. **doffs cap**

[@jamesmarko1787]

Hey Tony, you should've mentioned that people don't need to buy a shutter release cable with the 5d4, because when in bulb mode, in the menu system, you can manually type in the length of time.

[@jsal999999]

You make a good point about leaving the camera in AF Servo all the time, I'm going to give that a try, thanks. I notice you wade through the menus to get to Exposure Compensation. All I do is hit the "Q" button and click the expo/comp in the window. From there I can either shift it up or down or set the bracket. This seems much easier than going on a function hunt. Also are you aware the Canon 24-70mm f4 does have stabilization. It's cheaper as well. I find I can live with the f4 because I'm mostly outside with it anyway.

[@sgtechgrouppartners3038]

Thanks a lot Tony! it is very helpful. now i can easily lead my E-learning project in depth! once more thanks

[@lacywingard2633]

Thank you! Just what I needed! I just upgraded to one of these and I am a visual learner, so reading the manual that comes with the camera is not helpful to me.

[@XperiaVideosCR]

Great job Tony as usual. Santa will be delivering one of these in my hands pretty soon! can´t wait to use it!

[@beerborn]

If your tethering with a computer in a studio environment using strobe lights and using Capture One v.10 software, you will not need an SD or CF card inside the 5D Mk IV. You must remove it otherwise the Mk IV & Capture One will conflict with each other on were to store the image. Capture One stores the image directly into your computer and you will not the SD or CF cards inside the camera. I did not have a problem having the CF card inside my old Canon 5D Mk II with Capture One but this was a problem with the Mk IV.

[@thereefaholic]

Great video. Thanks. But I noticed your lcd turns on when you hit ANY button. Mine is new out of the box and I hit let’s say the iso button I need to use the top screen to see the settings. The lcd is not on at that point

[@omeshsingh8592]

Did you know you can hit the Q button while navigating the menu?

[@oOKAMAKAYAOo]

Holy this made me cringe sooo much lol. Especially when he is going through the different modes and trying to press the touch screen. I don't even own this camera its just basic canon fundamentals isn't it?

[@russhumphries7283]

Great video as always, I was wondering when you would be releasing you overall real-world review. I have a 5DSR and a 7DMKII and there are times I could use something with better low light. Thanks again :) Russ

[@lesblain]

Why switch to Av or Tv to do exposure compensation in manual mode when you can customise the button to the right of the Q button to do it?.

[@ontheroadaustralia-soleman1911]

Great information, thanks.

[@thomasdawson5934]

Shutter remote really isn't necessary for bulb mode. There is a built in timer that makes the remote ALMOST unnecessary.

[@SlowToe]

54.00 game changer, so so helpful

[@tiltservices8976]

Hey @ Tony & Chelsea Northup. Could u please suggest a camera for wedding & even photography in 3000 - 3500 $USD

[@euskalaretoa]

Thank you very much - top job. I am now going to buy your books :-)

[@sandrinespilates6922]

very nice tutorial! Thank you.

[@MegaOnairda]

what focus behavior would be the best for shooting cars, stand still and moving

[@lindadetmayerphotography930]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@davidking8361]

Thanks!

[@clickonmike]

Two things 1) You don't need to transcode MJPEG to work with in lightroom. What you need to do is format your 128 or 256 cards to exfat. With exfat you can work the same as if it came from any other 4K camera. 2) recommend you go to EOSHD and download their C-LOG programme to your computer then transfer to camera through eos utility. It costs about 10 dollars US.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

1) You don't *need* to transcode, but even my top-end PC can't playback the untranscoded files. Editing is pretty unbearable unless you transcode first. 2) Good time! I hadn't seen that before.

[@clickonmike]

You need to insert exfat in your cards. This format is specially formatted for large files. W hen I found out about this and starting editing in light room I found what you could do with colour grading was exceptional. Because of the extra information from the MJPEG. I found out about exfat from magnus547 " 5D MARK IV MJPEG file editing is EASY ". Recommend you take a look.

[@clickonmike]

Sorry not lightroom worked in adobe premiere

[@dereknz100]

Faymusmedia review on the 5D IV a few days ago didn't have an issue with MJPEG

[@taceyjungmann3187]

Hi Tony - great tutorial. Here's my question: on my 5diii once my back button focus was set, I could use the multi-controller in live-view and drag the point to another area of the image and it would adjust the exposure for that new area. In the div it's not adjusting when I drag the controller toggle around the screen. Is there a custom control that allows you to do this with the div?

[@kathyoungphotography2046]

Thanks for the helpful video! I'm struggling to set my 5D mark4 to silent mode, it doesn't appear as one of my Drive-AF options. I've set it in the passed but now have lost it, please could you help? thanks again Kath

[@brianjenkins3240]

Thank you, I learnt a lot

[@ronbarbosa06]

Great job!!! Thank you.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

Nice video as always! Thank you for the effort you put into these videos!

[@philindeblanc]

1. $10 a month to SUBSCRIPTION? Why not just use LR6 and they do release updates. But thinking about an alterante, as this is SOO SLOW!(using top maxed out gear in all angles) 2. The Rokinon 12mm is a great alternative to the 11-14mm/

[@ausmarc1]

My Mark IV is currently being posted to me.. With the "Rate" feature.. Can you reverse the rating so the 1st time you press the button it starts at 5* and goes down instead of up? I just can't imagine myself rating anything at 1 star and not just deleting it off the bat.. I am more likely to rate something 4 or 5* in the field.

[@madhusudhanroa5433]

How to view the live view o photo while taking

[@hitmhard]

I know this is an older video, but I hope you or somebody can help me with my focus issues on my Canon 5D mark 4. I'm using the canon 70-300 f/4.0 is usm 2. The shutter speed I use is about 1600 to 2000, ai servo. I've tried all focus points, and single focus point. Well yesterday I took over thirty shots of eagle's that were flying about 150 feet in the air, and not one was sharp. Could it be simply because the eagle's were to far away for that lens, or do I need to change some settings to get better results? I am not a fan of back button focus. Pls help

[@sal7777777]

Is there a review for the fujifilm x-t2 coming up any time soon?

[@andrearusky]

Thanks Tony, have you tried tethered shooting with the 5D mkIV and lightroom? I tried on my mac, but I can't get it to work. Lightroom panel will show the camera name, but when I try to shoot I've got the "BUSY" error on the camera.

[@arheologiemd9488]

In Live View this camera still uses the shuter(miror) or not when taking the picture? Can it be used as a mirroless in that mode?(it wold be great tha this camera makes no sound when taking a picture)

[@jbello9398]

every time i have it on live mode and touch the screen to focus the camera shoots. How can i fix that?

[@jmp622]

What brand SD card do you recommend for this camera

[@ZeyuWangM]

super helpful cheers.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

You're welcome!

[@islandiphotography1936]

Nikon d500 or the d800? My main thing being wildlife photography, which one should I invest in?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

D500.

[@bensslightnature]

d800 for wildlife? why would anybody even consider that as an option for wildlife photography?

[@andreschwarzkopf1994]

36mbx fullframe can crop well ? :D but yes now better D500

[@bensslightnature]

andre Schwarzkopf 5 fps.. olpf.. autofocus system (which is good, but not as good as the d500)

[@andreschwarzkopf1994]

yes fps low buy if you arent bird photography (fliing) no problem :)

[@SurvivalRox]

I think they made a great camera.....GH4 user

[@rumpstilt]

Actually the remote that I had for my 5D Mk II does NOT work with the Mk IV

[@bereketyibrah290]

how much is ?

[@bachirmoukarzel7372]

Tony where can we find your books? only in the states? kindly let me know

[@rp.aguilera]

on his website or facebook page! they ship every where!

[@andreanicoleguzman]

This was legitimately one of the most useful and concise videos I have seen on KZbin for the 5D Mark IV. I have recently upgraded and felt as though I understood the mechanics of photography, but this REALLY helped solidify the mechanics of my camera, and helped me to understand how I can get it to work for me. THANK YOU!

[@XabierUrra]

Hi, just a comment on exposure compensation on M mode: you can also adjust it by pressing the Q button and adjusting the desired compensation, without needing to change to another exposure mode (Av or Tv).

[@ryaneickmeyer6191]

When you hit "Q" you actually CAN use the touch screen.

[@topolino70]

Great video, but boy I feed bad for those lenses at left side of the table without proper cover. I am super neurotic with my own lenses and I try to cap lenses in microseconds after switching them to camera body in order to keep dust particles minimized.

[@EnglishSaint1]

At 13:55 you say you can't touch the screen to change aperture, you can, you just need to press the Q button first.

[@ChrisGradyPhoto]

Hi Tony, thanks very much for another great tutorial. Will you be doing a full review of the 5D mk4?

[@timnix7942]

Awesome video, my 5d Mark IV will be here on Wednesday I purchased the 24-105mm F4 lens, I wish I had the money for the 24-70. I also purchased two of your books I look forward to reading them and becoming a better photographer.

[@joanneny8638]

Thank you Tony. I purchased said camera recently. This was quite helpful. Also have both your books on Lightroom and Stunning Digital photos. Bought a year ago based on the great reviews on Amazon. Great books. You and Chelsea are doing a fantastic job for us newcomers to the industry.

[@MarcosMolina83]

I was expecting a review of this camera before the tutorial. How it does compare to 5DSR or Nikon competition after having filed tested it as you have. This looks like an amazing tutorial for anyone who owns it, by the way. I love your channel, and your not BS way of telling things and comparing camera and gear from a practical viewpoint. Keep it up!

[@DannyDifalco]

I hate videos longer then 15mins because i get bored. But for some reason you guys keep me interested the whole 1hr!!!! Keep it up great videos!

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

I'm First, Here's a Joke... Motion JPEG Codec...

[@bensslightnature]

im second, here's a joke OLPF hahahhahahhahhahahha

[@clickonmike]

Bought the 5D IV for stills. But when I learned how to work the 4K recording, Mjpeg was the best thing canon put in this camera. Don't rubbish something you are ignorant about.

[@bensslightnature]

clickonmike hahahha i wonder how much canon paid you for that comment xD. you sound like a robot.

[@clickonmike]

Moody About 10 grand . But I know what I know. Which is more tha you, who hasn't even touched a 5D IV.

[@bensslightnature]

clickonmike olpf, mjpg, 13.6ev dynamic range ok man :)

[@TrainingChungus]

i sat through the entire video and i am not disappointed!! great job :)

[@roscoedillman]

Pro tip use the app if you don’t want to buy a remote shutter

[@NSNorfolk]

Your books are superb! Mine are.... 5+ years old so an update is in order, especially that which explains Lightroom.

[@007Yasir]

I’ll be using it with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. I do food photography. Thanks for your video, it is still relevant in 2024.

[@michaelricco81]

This is one of the best Tutorial videos that I've come across. The ToC is also very effective and much appreciated. Thank you for putting in the time to produce it and for sharing. Thank you Tony (and Chelsea)!!!

[@combridge1]

Great video. I just purchased the 5D IV and there is not a better tutorial than this one! Thanks for all the very useful information.

[@j.stires]

What do you mean when you said the 100-400 HAS a 1.4 (as if "built in"?) I own this lens and find no such option. Thanks, nice tutorial.

[@DaveBrown1]

Thanks Tony, great video very well presented. Not much new information for me but I did learn 2 or 3 things. Keep it up.

[@yourademshin3182]

Tony !Thank You so much for this absolutely great video tutorila , very very helpful. I just bought 5DMark4 and Canon did not put good manual for camera , Thank You!!

[@micheleswarts8292]

Tony & Chelsea, I'm looking to purchase your books/training, however I can't find a comparison between streaming only and SD Card purchase, what is the difference? Thanks much,

[@buyaport]

What most people (including the presenter) don't know: This camera has an inbuilt bulb timer. You can find it in camera menu tab 4. And also a timer.

[@prashanthsvs]

Thank you verry much, Sir ❤️

[@orcaspest]

Thank you. I just got this camera and needed to know how to set the BBF as I had on my 7D mark II, but I listened to everything. Great information!!

[@basilbcf]

At around the 27 Minute mark you talk about AF Cases and say "by default they provide three different cases," then you say if any of those three cases don't meet your needs, you can scroll down even further and specifically configure Tracking Sensitivity, Accel./decel. tracking and AF pt auto switching." In point of fact there are 6 default cases, Case 1 through 6, all of which you can tweak those three settings.

[@jcorden6089]

I don't care much at all for the proprietary RAW file system on the 5DM4. It's hard finding any programs that open it up unless you use Adobe DNG Converter. You need a newer version of lightroom to open these RAW files, or a newer version of IrfanView.

[@garv25]

thank you, great information. just about sold on this camera, Been shooting 5D SR, i need more ISO for indoor sports . thanks, subscribed !!

[@Lance_Magillicuddy]

Hey Tony don't know if you look at comments from videos three years old and I know I'm being a grammar/pronunciation/usage nazi but regarding moving through a set of options it's IT-erate not EYE-terate but really I think it would make more sense if you said "cycle through" the setting options since when you get to the end of the available options it starts back at the first.

[@amirleon996]

You have no idea how many times a pc sync cable saved me. One of the most underrated pieces of equipment when your plan breaks. What, forgot your AAs, and your radio trigger fails in the middle of a large event? pc sync will save you and more impotantly your customers.

[@forsterl.stewart414]

What stinks is can't adjust White balance in Kelvin degrees in live view still shooting like on other 5d models. Here all you can adjust is w.b.shift and w.b.bracketing. You must use Q button first. Then use multi controller to cycle through all the other setting controls.

[@peterhardy9754]

Hi Tony can the 5DIV do focus bracketing with a particular firmware version and if so are the images jpeg or Raw for stacking purposes 🤔

[@JaredRibic]

06:32 - Who deletes pictures *in camera* ?? I couldn't agree more about the *annoying focus beep* ! The first thing I do with a new camera is set it to use raw, turn off the focus beep, turn of the auto chimp playback, and set up back-button-focus. 53:06 - Using the asterisk button for a different focus setup is a great idea. I've read about it, but never set it up. I'll have to give it a try. 58:06 - If only Canon would offer Image Stabilization on the 16-35mm f/2.8!

[@brianpatnoe]

Great video. I have had my camera for about a year and learned a few things. Just picked up a Sigma 14-24 2.8 art lens and it compliments the Mark iv well. Love watching your videos when I am trying to get information on a lens or camera!

[@yazr1712]

Thanks for this. A LOT of information, but relatively clear and straightforward.

[@craigsolow1699]

All I want to say is Thank you, as you tell it the way I like it. Straight to the point. I have the 5D Mark IV and use it for portrait and some sports. It is amazing. I love all your tips as well. I own a great kit, however out of all my lenses (I love them all), I would be heart broken without my Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro. Try it sometime for your portraiture Tony, you may get hooked like me.

[@justinb4218]

Thanks so much for this video Tony! I really appreciate the breakdown of the settings on the 5D Mark IV. I currently own a 7d Mark II, but as I've switched to portrait photography in the past year, I'm looking to switch over to a full-frame camera so I don't have to back up as much and also the 5D Mark IV is sharper and more detailed. I've already got the 70-200mm f2.8L lens, so when I pair both of those up, I should get some terrific photos. Now I just have to take the plunge to make the purchase.

[@simonepusceddu44]

Hi I have a problem with the 5d mark iv. In normal shooting mode, is there no setting to lengthen the metering time of the exposure meter? In the menu there is only the option: timer metering from 4 seconds to 30 minutes, but only for shooting in live view .... Is it possible to solve the problem in normal shooting? Can you leave the meter on without having to press the shutter button every time?

[@jcorden6089]

On your 41:02 Video part I was wondering why when I went to the menu button camera icon page 4 it looked different than what your video showed. Than I realized that to see those options I had to be in live view first. LOL

[@shahrokh9746]

Will you please put these "tanks" away and walk with our camera-smart phones which are up to these days.or your want to sell these 70 years old fragments for our collection!thank u.

[@adelalmansoury]

Hi Tony Hope you have an ice time Regarding CF card which is better and more reliable Lexer or Snadisk

[@andrew-sykes]

Best explanation video I have ever seen. Just sat trhough the whole damn thing. Thanks! Subbed.

[@natserog]

what teleconverter did you pull off the 70-200 lens-- are those good to have?

[@reubenlayode9529]

what do you thing about the 24-70mm f/4 lens. It came with my 5D Mark IV?

[@therandycam]

Thanks Tony! Very educational video but made easy by your easy to understand explanations.

[@melfiske]

How can I turn the focal point grid view on Live View on the Mark IV? I know how to do it on my III but haven't been able to figure it out on the IV.

[@wjfmarketing]

(edited - The full 1 hour video has been restored. Thanks) +Tony & Chelsea Northrup - The video stopped at 38 minutes?!? Did anyone else have this issue?

[@bird271828]

wjfmarketing I have the same issue. Video is 38 min. It used to be one hour long.

[@Laszlomtl]

Very cool explanation, given in a llikeble and credible way... :Laszlo Montreal

[@Sunrazor]

I use AE lock quite often. Most of the time handheld. It works well as a "I am happy now so stop metering damnit"-button. :D

[@forsterl.stewart414]

During remote shooting the camera control sucks because you can't change focus point but you can remote shoot otherwise.
