Canon 80D Settings for High Quality DSLR Video

[@matgeek]

Thanks for a great setup video. You're explaining everything in perfect tempo.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks! That's actually very helpful since I plan to make more of these and have made others in the past which I've learned from and tried to incorporate the feedback here. Appreciate it!

[@dermotoc9594]

100% agree. Perfect delivery.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Ray. For the life-of-me I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, until you pointed it out.YOU were one of the few that didn't assume we already knew to toggle the switch from camera to video. We ignorant newbies salute you.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Bill. I really appreciate the kind words. Have fun with the 80D!

[@veronicajrorrer-miller3184]

First time shooting video with my Canon 80D. I like the step-by-step to shoot high quality video. This is an especially important occasion, so I needed all of the specific details. Thankyou!

[@RayOrtega]

Congrats, Veronica, you'll improve every time you film! Glad this video helped.

@@RayOrtega It's for my daughter's memorial service. She passed 02/2020 but we were unable to have her service. My son, a LEO in OK, is unable to take time off to travel. So I'll be recording it the best I can on Saturday, using a battery grip for extended battery life, on a tripod. I'm glad I found your video. My brains were too fried to even BEGIN to make sense of this camera. It actually replaced a Nikon I gave my son. I was beginning to regret it til I watched your video! Wish me luck!

I just got the Canon 80D. It's a fantastic camera, especially for broadcasting. Ray, you did a wonderful job of explaining how to set-up the Canon for videos and I highly recommend watching this guy. There is a lot of misinformation on the web but Ray is well versed and has insightful tips everyone should know strating out.

Thanks, Eddie.

[@albertocandau]

Thanks for your video. For years I used my camera only to take photos, but I never used it for video. I did not know that my camera had so many functionalities. Greetings from Spain.

[@RayOrtega]

That's great to hear, Alberto. Congrats and enjoy!

[@odeski3841]

really really starting to enjoy videography and doing vlogs... just upgraded from a Canon T5i to the 80D and can't wait for it to get here.. i can tell this video is going go help a lot!!! thank you side note.. if you get a chance to see any of my posts and have any corrections or information that could help please do! very new to videography/photography

[@RayOrtega]

Good luck and have fun! Nice upgrade;)

[@SymonSaysTV]

Ray, you're the best! You taught me how to use my Canon 60D at its best, years ago. Now that I finally upgraded to the 80D, you taught me to use that one at its best too. I so much appreciate all your well explained informations. Thanks! ;-)

[@xiction]

thank you so much for this video, I've had my camera for like 4 months and i keep on getting overwhelmed by bad tutorials, but this was perfect, thank you!

[@RayOrtega]

Glad to hear it, thanks, Jenny!

[@rolltide5039]

Ray, flat out best video on explaining the 80D for video, and photos, because you give your settings but encourage others to find the one they most prefer. You've just taken the massive manual that I have downloaded and printed and made it pointless. Before I kill any more trees (I use recycled paper) I'll check your channel. Thanks.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Reb. You found my secret, I just read the manual on cam lol. But seriously, outside of the stuff I've tested for myself, this is mostly manual based content. But I'm glad that many seem to enjoy consuming it this way. I know I do, so it's probably why I make these vids. Always excited to hear when it has helped someone. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.

[@rolltide5039]

Ray, you've helped me go from a iPhone cameraman to now I'm running two 80D's, have several pieces of glass, the H6 and even know what I'm doing half of the time. Who'd a thought I'd even know a B roll, when an A roll was stuff I never looked at again on the phone's memory card. It's opened up the world so I see both sides of the lens. I remember when I missed half the stuff I recorded because I wasn't experiencing it. Thanks again!

[@BenPinson]

Everything you need to know about the 80D! Great video on settings.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Ben!

[@mazennabulsi7246]

you know what ? I almost watched most of your videos, and im doing great with the 80D in this short period of time, i really took amazing shots and i was wondering how did i do that ?? its because of you sir, I really appreciate your work and efforts, thank you again.

[@RayOrtega]

Cool, thanks Mazen!

[@JamesTomlinson2]

I'm old school ENG and love this 80 much better than my 60. Great vid thank you brother!!

[@MyNigellus]

Thank you, I really didn't know a lot of the functions, never explored my 80d enough and I need good quality video. Great vid

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, have fun with the cam!

[@adrenafilmz5152]

Hey man! Great video! Useful piece of info> The iso noise reduction makes pictures take twice as long to happen. The first time it takes the picture and the second time the camera takes another picture with the shutter closed to see how much noise the camera sensor is creating. Then it combines the two shots so you have a final with less noise. This isn't noticeable and is actually quite nice to have with faster shutter speeds, but if you try to take star trail pictures at night at lets say thirty second exposures, you will only get thirty seconds of exposure for every minute of the camera taking pictures with the shutter held down. Hope this is useful to someone 😊

[@mobelue]

Thank you for your information on your video. It’s very well done and very easy for me to understand. I’m not a beginner and I’m certainly not an expert. I’m at Cannon calls and enthusiasts. I just this past Christmas in 2018 bought the Canon 80D with the 18 to 135 kit lens. I’ve been focusing on learning the stills aspects of shooting the camera but your video got me introduced in the settings for the video portion. One good Takeaway I took from your video specifically was being able to go in and set the shutter button in the front and the back to start and stop videos. The default setting on the rare is OK but it’s a little awkward. This is especially true when your natural muscle memory is to just press the front button with your index finger. Thanks again.

[@Sirby1300]

I just discovered that my 80D does not stop recording at 4.2GB file size, but continues to record and making new files automatically, each about 4.17GB at the current settings I have. Sweet!

[@Ydkoll]

Thank you so much for this informative video. This has now become my official go to video for all my settings on my 80d. All the settings can be a bit overwhelming at first. When i have to use my camera in different situations, lighting and especially when i have to run and gun that is when it becomes a hard challenge. But it is a good way learn. Thanks for your great video.

[@RayOrtega]

Awesome, thanks!

[@GabeSuarezCreative]

This was great. Got my 80D yesterday after replacing my t6i and it was nice that you went trhough literally ALL the settings very quickly and efficiently. Thanks again! liked and subbed!

[@williaminavanbottle9297]

Thank you, Ray. Still capturing with the 80D, but still come back to your video...Memory lapses...Tut! Tut! Tut! It's been round the world with me, mostly with good results. So, iv'e decided, to take it with me on another 24 thousand mile...And with your help, will brush-up! As events, unlike Hollywood films, happen in a split-second, one needs to have the settings information, and manual dexterity, at a 110% in order to capture the moment...or the detailed images are lost forever! The photographic memory...Well, is not quite up to what some big screen films make it out to be...The unique "Hero. Anti-Hero. Villain characters that can flick through a complete set of the Britannica Encyclopedia, and then, recite it - word perfect! - forwards and backwards. I think, I, will admit, the CAMERA wins tripod-down, every time!!! Thanks again, Ray. Keep up the excellent, tutorials!

[@ibrahshowtz]

you are the best tutor, you just unpacked me me because i ddnt put the M on the mode dial while watching another tutor so it ddnt show me all options and i thought my camera is fake, but with you i have been able to find it just easy, now i should tell you that i have almost set my camera for video settings as you have done in this video, i am going to watch more and more this video until i fully understand to make my own settings. i wish you also had the canon 80D photo menu settings. i enjoyed this.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks! Really appreciate the nice words. Have fun with the cam. The key is using it as much as possible. That will really allow you to learn what works well for you. Enjoy!

Thank you Ray, but do you also have a photo menu settings? I still have trouble with night scenes, they appear dark, actually this is my new camera, got it on friday so i have a lot to learn from it but please if you also have a photo menu setrings tutorial, give me the link so i can learn too.

[@dablet]

thank you for taking the time doing this tutorial. next, can you show us how to shoot in low light? my videos in low light look really lousy. i get bad colors with lots of noise even in manual mode.

[@RayOrtega]

For low light, you'll want to keep the ISO below 1000 if possible for best results probably even lower than that which most often requires a lens with a large aperture like 2.8 or wider.

[@SeltexPL]

Awesome and comprehensive video. I have a few questions though that I hope you can help me out with: 1. Is there acutally any difference between choosing PAL or NTSC? In other words, will choosing one over the other have any impact on the video quality? 2. Do you ever (does it make sense to) temper with shutter speed, other than when you change FPS? 3. Do I understand it correctly that 50/60FPS in MP4 is the best for slow-motion? 4. Can you achieve a good quality slow-mo using 25FPS/30FPSMOV? 5. I spent a full day recording outside and noticed after the fact that a lot of what I got was overexposed - with lots of black-marked places on the image; plus the image was of a rather whitish color, sort of colorless. How do I best counteract that? In other words: if I take a sample shoot, and see that the image is overexposed, what do I do? 6. DO I aim for the image not to have any overexposition at all? I am sure a lot of us folks here could pick your brains when it comes the above so please, get back with answers :-) Cheers Paul

[@mikemiller9657]

1. PAL is for Europe and there are differences. For example frame rates, scan lines and color space. Quality should be similar. 2. Ray suggests using twice the frame rate, which is usually ok. If I am in a very dark situation I use the same shutter speed as the frame rate, i.e., 1/30 sec for 30 fps. Outdoors you might want to use 1/125 or faster to control depth of field. Sometimes action sports look better with a faster shutter speed.

[@avarmadillo]

One correction I'd like to make is what you said about the histogram. In the blue section no. 3 there is histogram disp. You can change it from brightness to RGB and back again and it will make no difference from the setting that is established on the screen. To actually set the histogram you have to go to the wrench (yellow) no. 3 to "button LV display options." There under "histogram" you can make changes that will actually appear on the screen.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, William. There was some definite confusion about this when I was learning this camera. I mention at 13:30 in the video that the change in the yellow tab is actually the one you'll see on the LCD screen and the blue one will affect the histogram in the review mode but I didn't make this clear in the blue tab section nor does the b-roll help me out;) Appreciate the feedback!

[@avarmadillo]

I don't see why Canon has made this unnecessarily complicated. Very unCanon-like IMO. Usually Canon menus are pretty clear and straightforward.

[@avarmadillo]

Actually, I missed that remark. My mistake. But Canon's mistake, IMO, is creating confusion. When you open "histogram" as an exclusive category and are given the option to choose brightness or RGB, you do so and see no effect on the screen what are you to think? Go digging through their terrible manuals? Canon is no exception here---not one camera company seems to be able to write a coherent manual or formulate a usable index---some don't even have indexes or table of contents. I have a friend who shoots video and actually writes technical instructional manuals and he told me he was appalled at the terrible material these companies publish.

Hi, Ray 👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome tutorial on setting up the 80D very knowledgeable and informative content, also I would like to know if you have ever tried to use an external monitor like the Ninja 5 or Small HD monitors I know the 80D does not have clean HDMI out but it there way to use a monitor for the 80D if possible could you do a video showing how to set up the 80D using a monitor. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Danny. The nice thing about the 80D vs my 60D was that I was getting the full resolution into my monitor whereas the 60D was SD and looked horrible. So if you attached a SmallHD at least the image should be a useable resolution for monitoring purposes, I tried it with an old monitor when I had the 80D in for review instagram.com/p/BER6CHck8tB/?igshid=12rmucy539rxc

Thank you for such a thorough inventory, have a nice day, and we'll wait for your videos.

[@karengoodell4497]

At the end you mentioned switching to TV, setting shutter to 1/50th sec. When I switch over to TV there is no longer an ability to change shutter. I want to make sure it’s at double my fps to avoid judder on panning. Why am I unable to set my shutter speed?

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks. I mention that those are auto modes which means the camera is going to set things for you. In the case of Canon, TV is 'shutter priority' which means the shutter will set itself so that the exposure is proper. This can be helpful when vlogging and you are not necessarily able to make changes on the fly. However I did miss speak when I said set the shutter to 50 cause of course, the camera in the case of TV is setting the shutter. So if you wanted auto and you wanted shutter to remain consistent, you could use AV which is Aperture Priority. In each case you lose something (control of a variable) but you gain proper exposure in run and gun setups.

[@alexjcorona2605]

Hi Ray, your channel is one of the best shot and most informative ones I've found. You present clearly, concisely and with a nice friendly touch. Big thanks for that, I find others can be a little annoying, especially when their own video is overexposed or poorly framed! I would really appreciate your advice. I have been wrenched left and right by a decision on what camera to purchase. My intention is to film for documentary style journalism, travel style videos for corporate and personal projects. I'm still torn between going full camcorder like a canon ax20 or DSLR such as Canon80d. What do you think would serve me best? I suppose I want the most range of shots I can get from one camera.

[@RayOrtega]

Wow, thanks AJ! Choosing a camera is always tough cause you almost always have to compromise something you want. You definitely aren't going to beat the look of a DSLR just because of their large sensor and interchangeable lenses but if you need to record really long run times 30 minutes+ in a single clip, or want to plug in pro mics (XLR), or need ND filters or lots of manual control on the camera in the form of buttons instead of menu diving or a smooth aperture ring, then all of those things would push you towards a traditional ENG type camcorder. I hope that helps a little.

Love your videos. Just bought a Canon 80D. I shoot vlogs.

Extremely helpful for a beginner ( ME ). Thanks, Ray. And the quality of this video is superb. I want to create short films and have only one lens: 24mm 2.8 What lenses should I buy to get started? Thanks!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Andrian. 24mm 2.8, you're set. Go start filming;) That's a great focal length on a crop sensor for getting wide enough shots in tighter places like your average apartment sized room and the rest is all about 'zooming with your feet';) That's also a large enough aperture to help out in low-light situations or to get a good shallow depth of field shot.

[@kipling1957]

Wow! Absolutely fantastic, Ray. Thanks for putting this up it's really appreciated. I plan to get the 80D as a B-roll camera for my C100. Do you ever use ND filters and if so, what would you recommend?

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks! Nice combo you'll have there;) The ND filter I have podhelp.me/fadernd77 is discontinued but I love a "fader" ND because it has different levels of ND to choose from just by turning the ring. There should be others like it, I made a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIiZiqaqjpajhck A tip I can give when looking for others is to choose a size that has the largest thread, so in my case it was a 77mm which I then could adapt to any lens small than that just by purchasing cheap thread adapters.

[@kipling1957]

Thanks so much for the fast reply, info and the links. The advice about getting a large ND + step rings makes perfect sense. My largest piece of glass is 77mm so I'll be getting the same one as you. Great!

[@realdarrenhuang]

Thank you so much!!! But how do you turn on TV on vid mode? I can't turn it on my 80D...

[@RayOrtega]

I think they removed Tv or shutter priority on the 80D for some lame reason if I recall which I didn't find out till after this video. I couldn't imagine why they'd do that but then again it's Canon so they like to cripple their cameras.

[@manelamellamatias928]

You are AWESOME maaaan!! But what could be a very good configuration to film in places like discos?

Brilliant as always Ray. You are my 'go-to' for all things video with the Canon 60/70/80D. Quick question...in 'TV' mode if I want to shoot 24fps with a 50 shutter speed do I set that first in 'MANUAL' mode and then simply flick the switch to 'TV' mode and it will all be set up? Reason I ask is that I can't figure out how to change the shutter speed once in TV mode. Thanks buddy. Absolutely awesome video as always.

Hello Ray. Great video. Been following your channel a while and you put out very informative and well planned videos. Thank you for that. I noticed you have the Sony a6500 as well and I was wondering which you'd recommend? I need a camera to record myself and 4k isn't a priority even though I might downscale to a 1080 timeline if picture quality is that much better. The convenience of the flip out screen is nice as I see you have to attach an external monitor to the a6500 when shooting yourself. My questions is regarding what you consider to be a better package. If you have to keep one and sell the other, which would it be? Thank you so much!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Miguel. For most people I'd probably recommend a Canon. They are easier to work with and if you don't need 4K then you can save some money. I think the best deal in DSLRs right now is the SL2 amzn.to/2Jupmok it's kind of a hidden gem and is an 80D in a body with a few less features such as top LCD screen but better internally. Easy to vlog on too cause it's small but if you're 'in the studio' you can still use the flip out screen and the AF is best on the market. Of course you can get the 80D if you want a better body but the SL2 could also clear up some extra money for a nice lens

[@PuelaLunaris]

Excellent! Do you have a video specifically for aperture and ISO?

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Thank you for your patient and detailed video.

[@BastHoen]

Helpful great video. Thank you.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks!

I’m new to this. I’m using my Canon EOS 80D for Live-streaming piano performances. I did some initial tests in manual mode and was quite happy. Then I did a livestream in the early evening and as the hour progressed the sunlight decreased. By the end of the video, you could barely see me 🤣. When you are in a situation like this where the ambient light changes markedly over time, what mode do you recommend?

[@RayOrtega]

Normally it would be shutter priority so that the aperture and ISO could be controlled automatically but the 80D has a weird quirk where this function was taken out of video mode but maybe they did a firmware update to include it? If so, use that otherwise you'll likely need to shoot in auto but see if there is an option to lock the ISO and maybe shutter speed

[@CraigAddy]

@@RayOrtega Thank you so much. I will explore. Another practical solution, if push comes to shove, is to schedule events at a time when light will be more consistent :-). Like tonight's will be at 8:30pm, so I can set things up with my led panel light and ambient lighting and have it be quite consistent.

[@alenablyshchyk7801]

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@RayOrtega]

Glad this helped! Thanks for watching.

[@paddlemehard8470]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Thanks

[@DiRTYDoCKeRZ]

I do not have the range for movie option when picking ISO speeds on my 80D menu?! @1:42 .....mine just says ISO speed/ range for stills/ Auto range/ Min. shutter spd. ANY IDEAS?!

[@albertokram4897]

Is it okay to use full frame lenses in 80D in order to save money in the future🤔....plzzz have a video on that...

[@MrMcshaft]

Hi Folks. I second shoot for a videographer with the 70D & 80D. Both great cameras. Here is one thing that has caught me out once or twice tho ad its not specific to these two cameras when shooting video. Whilst the lock button is great to have for locking the aperture ring, I have accidentally moved the shutter speed dial, say, when taking camera off a tripod etc, but failed to notice that I have inadvertently moved the dial by accident. It is probably impractical but if there was a locking mechanism for this dial, that would be great...OR...perhaps I should be more vigilant in the future! Just my thoughts....

[@lgmphotography]

Thanks for that video, would you know why my 80D in MOV mode doesn't let me use 30fps, the 25fps is grey and I have no option to change it

[@RayOrtega]

So you're only seeing 24fps? If you see 25fps then you are in PAL.Trying switching to NTCS.

[@jordanlin4437]

Hello, um, my Canon 80d is unable to adjust shutter speed in Tv mode, and it is stuck at 1/30 of a second (which is too slow for video). Is there a way to fix that?

[@OlivierStaiger]

In video, shutter speed, aperture and ISO can only be manually adjusted/selected if you are in M manual mode. Any other modes are fully automatic for video. However, you could set cam to M mode, select shutter speed and aperture as you want but leave ISO in auto ISO if you prefer.

[@gedlawson9855]

Hi Ray, thanks for the video. I was following up until the Movie recording MOV/MP4. I don't have 23.98fps option, if I select MOV, the Movie Rec.Size is greyed out and set at 25fps. If I select MP4I only have the option of 25fps or 50fps. Can you advise'?

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Ged. You're in PAL setting when you see 50fps. Go into the menu and switch to NTSC and you'll the options.

[@RuniDjurhuus]

Thanks I’ve looked everywhere for this answer

[@rickysticks17]

Fantastic instructional video…

[@ggerardvideo]

TV & AV mode doesn't work in video mode in the 80D as you reported in this video. Do you know something I don't know?

[@RayOrtega]

Hmm, what does it not do?

[@ggerardvideo]

My experience is, when I set the camera to TV, in the video mode, I cannot set the shutter speed. The camera sets it automatically. In photo mode the camera acts as it should in TV mode. I just use the manual mode and set the ISO to auto, to get the same effect as TV. When I first realized that TV didn't work in video mode, I thought the camera was broken, but the manual confirmed that it would act in P mode or automatic in TV. I have a 7D Mark ii and it does work in TV in both video and photo modes.

[@applejaxx]

Thank you for this video, super helpful tutorial! The question I have is when filming slow motion with the 80D, what settings should I use to shoot? Slow Motion: 60 frps + 1/120 shutter?

[@ignaciorivas9694]

Yes, so when you are editing just compress it and you get it! That´s my understanding. 60 fps + 1/120 shutter speed.

[@TalkingGuns]

When I set it for MOV it greys out the movie rec.size and only gives me FHD 25.00P. When I tap on the Movie rec.size anyway it gives me the message Not available because of associated setting -Video system... what did I miss?

[@RayOrtega]

What are you trying to set it to? If you're looking for 60fps on 1080p then you need to be in MP4 format. Also you are using PAL. Use NTSC if you want 24fps

[@marshmellope3933]

Dope video man. Great job
