Canon 77D Tutorial + Lens/Flash Recommendations

[@med4u1]

His tutorials are so detailed and well explained. Doesn't miss a single thing or make any mistakes. That brain is gold.

[@mumo9413]

Thanks so much haven't done photography for 30yrs. Joined a club 3mths ago. Just bought the 77D. This has been very helpful, much appreciated!

[@alberttrudel4822]

Thanks for this amazing class, Tony. I bought my camera just a year ago, and you've told me more in this video than I gleaned from a third-party instruction manual. Now I feel much more prepared for taking photos!

[@Ravox83]

This video is perfect the way he explains so clear, and all the tips and tricks, this is mandatory for any 77D owner

[@momchilyordanov8190]

I own this camera and STILL coming here time to time to see something I forgot or never knew in a first place :)

[@kaankorkmaz]

I've just bought this specific camera and because of your help I've got a pretty clear picture of how the camera works! thanks! :)

[@David_from86]

The best photography video I’ve ever watched!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@BrothaWithACamera]

Just got a 77D body for 699 body only, what a steal. Best value vlogging & photography camera at the moment in my opinion.

[@zkw100]

Thank you so much for doing this. I had this video saved for when my camera arrived and I really appreciate it. It must get so wearisome doing long, detailed videos like this, with no doubt a lot of prep time added in, too. But there’s just no one else doing this content for this length of time per camera, and for free! So, thank you. I will be heading over to check out the courses, too, which I have been procrastinating about for too long.

[@jonhoolio]

Fantastic video! I've had my 77d for about a year now and i'm learning so much from this video!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@sidarthrai9791]

I have come back to this video so many times to relearn something about the camera and m sure I will do so in the future. Thank you.

[@Astrolavista]

Such an awesome tutorial, thanks Tony. Very temped to switch my M3 to 77D and your video had so much great info about it. p.s. I have no idea how you can speak for an hour 99% flawlessly, now that's a skill!

[@timothyansah]

Bought this last week. im too lost man but we getting there eventually ! Thank You

[@JuanCOrozco]

Thank you for making a video about this camera. It was my first camera and introduced me to the world of photography. So for all those mocking this device, just remember everyone has to crawl before they walk.

[@prof.cummings4260]

Well worth the watch. I feel like I am finally properly acquainted with my camera and ready to get out there for some serious photography!

[@wanderingstar2717]

Quite simply the best and most comprehensive 77D I have found, also simply and clearly explained. Thanks!

[@mayursoneji]

This video is so informative and helpful... Helped me understand my 77D a lot better... Specially the Timelapse techniques...

[@oldengguy]

Nice helpful video. Thank you. There is only one thing I'd like to comment on. In the section on WiFi, the subject of connecting to a computer was somewhat dismissed as not being very good. That is actually what I really like about the 77D. I keep a 77D on a tripod, equipped with an AC power supply, ready to take pictures of merchandise for online sales. I have it set up such that I simply turn the camera on, then press the little wireless button on the back of the camera, and upon tapping on the screen the computer I want to connect to, EOS Utility starts on my PC. I then select on the PC that I want to control the camera. I then click to start a live session. Then when I take photos with my camera over at my studio table, the photos immediately go to my computer via WiFi, into a special directory that I specified as the date within a larger directory. I have my settings such that they aren't even saved to the card in the camera, but go directly to the computer. If no folder for that date exists yet, as in the morning when I first turn the camera on, that new folder is created. If I want to shoot a video of a product, I flip the camera to video and shoot it. I can then transfer that to the PC over WiFi, too, quickly and easily. It is so nice to be able to do this without the need for an extra cord to the computer. If I were to use a USB cord, unfortunately the location of the plug-in interferes with flipping the screen out. Maybe I am in the minority in not caring about connecting a computer to a smartphone, but I have no interest in that at all, but connecting to a computer is really important to me, and the 77D works great for that.

[@NaviSim101]

Love this tutorial. Watched it so many times. Thank you!

[@Troy_Sent_A_Message]

Thank you so much for explaining how to get "back button focus" working on this camera. I was racking my head at other videos that show advanced cameras how to set it up and not this one!!! 👍

[@entheosp]

You are the man for the nerdy photographers. Great work!!

[@atbien21]

This is my next camera. I have always had Lumix cameras (FZ2, ZS20, and now the FZ1000) and I love the menus. It also has an excellent APP for wi-fi. But I'm looking to get a larger sensor, and better low light performance. The 77D appears to be a good fit for me. Thank you for your tutorials. It helps me and I'm sure many others to make a decision.

[@shanescott3168]

I just bought a 77D and watched this very helpful tutorial. Thank you! I also used your tutorial last year when I bought my T7i. I have the two cameras for recording videos. The 77D is now $50 less than the T7i on Amazon and a online camera retailer. Maybe the 77D isn't selling as well? I bought the 77D for more features and the lower price sealed the deal. I know it is hard to cover everything in a short tutorial video but was hoping you would comment on using the Lock lever.

[@cameron-w]

I know I’m replying to a 2 year old comment but I pretty much plan on buying a 77d as (basically) a second T7i.

[@justus1199]

The lock lever prevents you from accidentally moving the thumb wheel around the cross buttons on the back.

[@keithk7926]

Been waiting for this. Love my 77D!

[@pacowboy]

I have a Signa 17-50mm f2.8 on my 77d. Both work incredible together. The Sigma 100-400mm works great too.

[@mauibuilder1239]

I may have to look at the Sigma 17-50mm constant aperture 2.8 instead of the variable aperture kit lens.

[@pacowboy]

OrganicFarmer it is a great replacement for the kit lens. It is very sharp and the constant f2.8 is very nice. Mine is a 'grey label' version. No US warranty.

[@jeffpv.]

Coming from a T6 & SL2, I ordered a 77D body for $649. After deliberating a "walk around lens" for some time I settled on ordering the Sigma 17-50 mm f/2.8 at $305 (international version). Both should be here in a couple days. The lens is probably not the best for video due to AF noise, and the focus ring spins when auto focusing. Both things I can live with considering the price point for this reasonably sharp and fast lens.

[@pacowboy]

Jeffrey Pringle I used the Sigma walking around WDW and was very happy with it. I havn't noticed too much AF noise during video, but I also don't record alot of video. Both are a great combination. You will be very happy and impressed with the upgrade. 👍

[@jeffpv.]

Thanks for the info. I was fairly confused regarding the AF noise. Some say it's quiet, while others say it's a bit noisy for video. Maybe it has something to do with when the lens was manufactured (since it was released in 2010)? Using my delayed tax refund to fund these, I'm pretty geeked to try out the new gear!

[@juliescaparra2940]

I just purchased your book. Just starting to learn photography and love your tutorials.

[@SinghGagan1313]

Very well explained and specially that detail in the description. Great work Tony !!

[@Nej89]

Great video Tony! I’m deciding between the Canon 77D & Nikon D5600 for my 1st dslr, I want a camera body that i can use for years to come and grow with, the canon will cost me over £100 more than the Nikon, however I’ve been told by a camera store here in London that canon lenses are cheaper than Nikon, can anyone help me out with any advice thank you!

[@bassmanlumpy5370]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Just bought this exact camera, learning a lot from you. planning on purchasing your books.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@TheHannes]

Always very educational, thank you. As an alternative to the Sigma 18-35 F1.8, if you need a lens that starts entering telephoto but is also fairly wide, I would recommend the canon 17-55mm. I bought a used one and since buying it my 18-135mm I got with my 600d has been gathering dust when traveling. I will mostly stick on the 17-55, sharp lens, take my 10-18mm for tight spaces or wider shots as you mentioned and the nifty fifty if I need the f1.8. My flash goes into the space for the 18-135mm. The 80d and 77d are on my wishlist should I run into money tomorow to upgrade the old 600d but I'm a bit frustrated as the 77d has the newer sensor with better lowlight performance but the 80d excels in other areas. Hopefully by the time I upgrade the next gen would have merged these two cameras

[@tourinojacks5844]

It's been 5 years now. Have you upgraded your Canon body yet? Also, if so, what lenses are you primarily using with it?

[@TheHannes]

@tourinojacks5844 wow, funny and sad reading my comment now. I have not yet updated the body. As you know, canon now went fully in with mirrorless so I decided to wait and reenter the body market going for a new rf mount, but more specifically, the full frame market. This will mean adapters and/or reinvestment in lenses. I had my heart set on the R6 but it's quite a hefty tag for an enthusiast. The R8 is also on my list but just lacks the ibis. The past 5 years we've immigrated and had a bunch of expenses so I couldn't justify an upgrade yet. My 17-55 f2.8 is still my go-to on my 600d, my biggest peeve with the lens is the fact that it creeps. That new body is definitely rising up on the priority list again

[@tourinojacks5844]

I didn't understand what you meant by "it creeps?" I asked that question because I was considering to get in the 24th to 70 mm 2.8, but I told myself if I come across a really good deal on an alternate lens that is 2.8 or faster than I would consider it.

[@TheHannes]

@@tourinojacks5844 I am no expert, although the 24-70 L is a fantastic lens, it is designed for a full frame sensor, so effectively 38-112mm on a crop sensor. I would recommend something like the 17-55 for a crop sensor as it will give you about 27-88mm Full frame equivalent. Sigma also have some good options for the ef mount. Lens creeping is when the lens doesn't hold it's position when walking, so as you walk about it becomes fully extended unless you hold on to it. It's a minor trade off for decent glass at an acceptable price point.

[@AnnaTomo]

YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL AND I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THESE! Now I just need the money to buy the 77D.

[@jamesdarnell8568]

I cannot afford a 77D either. But currently (July 2019), Amazon has Very Good used Canon 70D for $420 (body only) and a new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens for only $89 = $509 with free shipping. Used 77D are about $150 more than the used 70D.

[@briansilva6433]

James Darnell I went to the pawn shop and they had a sale on the camera and I got it for 320$ I’d say I got a really good deal

[@Demitrival]

Did u end up buying it?

[@AnnaTomo]

@@Demitrival I DID! I LOVE IT

[@Demitrival]

@@AnnaTomo that’s great! Thinking of purchasing it too

[@bgraziosi]

Really good video about the product. And professional channel. Congrats.

[@jcaff6963]

Thank you for this very informative video. Much easier than reading the manual. Yes, setting up nfc is hard. Got it done but don't know how I did.

[@Nonaxisymmetric]

Thanks very much for this video! Despite reading the manual I was unable to get time lapse going but with your video it was very clear 😀😀

[@mr.blackhawk142]

I'm looking to buy a Canon 80D bundle because of your GREAT tutorial! I am NEW to manual photography. I've been using a little Nikon 1 J1 for a few years. Thanx! (=

[@shanescott3168]

I really like my 77D so far. A disappointment with the design is the AF-ON backbutton focus button is a little hard to "get to" to push. It is near and below a contour in the camera body. I would like a bigger and more accessible AF-ON button that is easier to find and push by feel.

[@Chris5685]

You can reassign the AF-ON function to the AE- Lock button, and vice versa in the C.Fn menu. It makes it a lot easier to use!

[@peterjosephcooke4236]

Really good video by an engaging host. Thank you.

I realize this is an older video but could you tell me if this reasonably priced camera takes sharp photos with, landscapes, wildlife, and macro. I have looked at most of the Canons, from 80D--250D, 6D, in a med price range, but don't like the focus modes and need the tilting swivel screen. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you

Thank you Tony. Goodbye- I phone hello SLR ;) Watched the entire vid to set up my 77D. Perfect. ps what LR should I start with? There are many that load when I key in LR classic.

[@johnmiller7682]

I have a flash question. When purchasing an external flash, many of those have a zoom feature that is supposed to work in conjunction with the zoom lens on your camera. They can also be set manually on these flashes. When using a crop sensor 77D, do you need to multiply, using the 1.6 crop factor, just like you would with the lens and aperture?

[@ronyvarghese7140]

Just brought the cam and was egarly waiting for tutorial video from Tony......

[@pranitsamanta1037]

sir, if i hv to pick between eos 800d, eos 77d, nikon d5600 and nikon d5300 for night photography or particularly milky way shots, which one i should go for?? i know as you always say that it's the lens not the camera that matters more, but i am really confused about which one among these four cameras has better high ISO perfomance?

[@praneshmahadhevan1926]

I have a canon t6 right now. Looking to upgrade. I see that the canon 80D and 77D are almost the same in terms of specs, there's hardly any difference. Makes me wonder why there is such a big price difference between the two. Any comments on that? And also I am a intermediate photographer, should i upgrade to 77D or 80D? I am not into vlogging or taking a lot of videos for that matters,more into still photography. What would you suggest I do ?

[@karenclark1866]

Did you ever get a reply to your question? I have been studying the same options. The biggest thing I notice is the 80D is heavier, has weather resistance, and is thereby sturdier. I mostly see a difference of $250 and wonder which is better. I have a t5i and love it, but am looking to upgrade.

[@dhanulgoyal2526]

1:27 NO! Never leave Image Stabilization ON when your camera is mounted on a tripod. When your camera is sitting still on a tripod, the stabilizer will often look for movement that isn’t there, resulting in a blurry photo. I’ve tried that a lot and whenever I take a photo while my camera is mounted on a tripod, images with image stabilization turned off in the lens were noticeably sharper than those with image stabilization turned on.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

We've found this with non-Canon lenses but not with recent Canon lenses. Hence our recommendation. I'll add a retest to our to-do list.

[@dhanulgoyal2526]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup Well, that could be true. I done my tests using a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 OS HSM and a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS HSM. But, it’d be great to see a video where you tell us more about it. Great video though! Love your channel!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Yeah, Sigma lenses don't detect tripods, in our testing, so you do need to turn it off for your lenses.

[@kerlikoppel7168]

Really really good recommendations, I´m so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sifatrabby1962]

Please help me here. I am looking to buy a Canon 77D for mainly indoor computer-related product reviews with medium lights but I can't seem to get to a decision. Should I get 18-55 mm STM kit lens and buy a 55-250 STM lens or buy it with the 18-135 mm USM kit lens?

[@brucepaton835]

Sifat, I own all three lenses and use them for different purposes. All three are really sharp, so you probably can't go wrong. Of the three, I find the 18-135 the most useful in a range of situations. The 18mm end is really handy often for reasonably close up work, and the longer end is useful for people shots within a room. The 18-55 will be useful to you if you need to shoot really close to the product, like within 2 feet of it. The 55-250 is a great lens, but will be frustrating if you're mostly within one room. (You'll have to back up too far to get the whole product in the picture.) If you are mostly working at the same distance all the time, you may want a non-zoom lens like the 50mm 1.8 lens which is inexpensive but very sharp and can work at lower light levels. On balance, I would choose either the 18-55 if you are mostly going to be close, or the 18-135 if you want more flexibility. The 18-55 is the least expensive, especially used, so that might be the place to start.

[@thabang5754]

I'm not an expert. But I think 18-135 is better

[@jeffmain7918]

I got the 18 135 Ii use it all the time Thank you sooo much Tony for this and your other videos VERY helpful

[@patriciomarin6729]

Hi, I will go for the great 18-135 mm (USM or STM) and the 24mm F/2.8 STM ( very sharp too, more light and macro for your "computer-related product reviews "). Great video Tony.

[@gaganpreetsinghmalhotra]

Late to the party, but for those who might be in same situation and come to this comment, you actually need a bright lens. Focal length matters, but that can be physically adjuted. What you actually need is Canon/Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8. Why 50mm, cuz its cheapest! Smallest the f number, brightest the lens. That will help the most in indoor/dark environments because light there is limited most of the time.

[@TravelPhotographer]

PAL vs NTSC - Word of warning, the frame rates are synced with lights, and using the wrong setting in their respective countries will give you light flickering. Yes shutterspeeds effect it and certain cameras come with anti flicker built in

[@spakeschannel]

I use NTSC in PAL-country with 1/100 shutter speed, no flickering seen.

[@johnmiller7682]

You can stop the auto sleep function in the settings.

Great sir. .......

[@wayneg1794]

I noticed your internal flash example was 1/60 @ 3200(probably A+ mode) Why use flash at 3200? My 77d will do that too. I have a t6i that I just flashed at 1/100@iso100 on 'M', and looks perfect. I cannot do that in any mode on this 77d?? Black pics?! My 77d will only onboard flash somewhat properly at A+ with the noisy 3200 in even a well lit room. Using a flash should mitigate the use of 3200iso. Can anyone else get their 77d to do a flash photo at 100 iso, without producing black images, in any setting? 430ex works perfect on it too, but it is sometimes handy to have the pop up flash.
