Canon EOS R100 Camera Settings, Tips & Tutorial

[@brandonstogdill3480]

I just bought this camera. And I’m not an avid user of YT but this may be the best put together tutorial I’ve ever seen. Genuinely all around amazing and digestible. Thank you for all your effort.

[@esquire392]

I have been wanting to get a nice camera and finally purchased this today. I was searching for tips and tricks and came across this video. I must say I feel like a semi-amateur now thanks to how well you explained everything. Super excited to start my photographer journey.

[@chrisleskiw9091]

This guy made everything so understandable and appeared to be extremely genuine. Extremely helpful and I may even purchase his books after I get my camera situated!

[@PrithvirajDJaguar]

This is a very very amazing tutorial. I was worrying and was confused as well about the lot of settings, but when I found your video I thought to give it a try. And within a few minutes, I was sold. You have gone in depth as you could have and told a lot of complicated settings as well which a lot of other videos have not. Thank you so much for creating this video. It has helped me a lot understand my camera better. 💙

[@lorisweeney4054]

Thanks for this video - i haven't watched it yet ... i am 63 and have wanted a real camera my whole life. so now i got one for christmas and i still haven't learned how to use it bc i am kinda scared of it! lol. i am going on vacation in 2 weeks so i have no choice but to get on it as the person who bought the camera for me will be on vacation with me too! The comments below do sound very encouraging so I hope I can figure it out! I am used to just using my cheap phone! I'll thank you in advance, Tony and everyone, please wish me luck! :)

I'm so excited I've begun saving for the Canon R100.

[@danielx555]

I got one of these 10 days ago and bought the EF mount and I just ordered a RF 50 mm. And I really like this goofy little camera. When I pick up my old DSLR now, it feels huge. And the pictures I'm getting with this are amazing. I had some problems using third party lenses, with the camera getting locked into weird autofocus cycles. No problem with Canon lenses though.

[@KeegzAndersen]

This is a fantastic help. I'm taking a trip to Japan and bought this camera to try my hand at capturing details for what are sure to be fantastic memories even without the camera. I really appreciate you giving me some confidence setting it up.

[@MattHalpain]

I have a Canon 5D mark iii and a Canon Rebel T7. I use my T7 more than my 5D mark iii. I like the presets of my T7 (sports, portrait, etc.) I like a lot that the R100 has "presets" in scene mode. I know how to shoot manually but some times I just want the "can't go wrong" preset, like for example the sports preset is so helpful to me to not have to think about if I have the right camera settings to capture the moving subject in focus. Also with the presets I look at the photo's meta data and I learn what the T7 camera chooses for "optimal" photos and I can apply that knowledge to tweak the manual camera settings to my liking.

[@Xandriaaa21]

I’ve looked up about 5+ videos before I got to this one, this helped me so much with the blur and explaining the lens! 10/10 video recommended!

[@darshanblon]

Thank you so much for the quick tips. I just got this camera to get started for a family trip, the tips given have helped me a lot and hopefully I will capture some good memories.

[@kenkeng5824]

Wonderful video. Thank you have been a subscriber for about 2 years. You are the best teacher.

[@CalebHembree]

Could you do a video about the top 5 or 10 lenses that you should buy as a beginner/intermediate photographer, with a budget of under 600 dollars? As a beginner photographer myself I have bought a canon T7 to start, and would like to know a few lenses that are best to start with, I have the kit lens of course but would not like to keep taking photos with a low-quality lens like the kit lens. I have enjoyed all of your teaching videos, along with the 7-hour on photography.

[@simonecomedy2019]

I just got this camera and your video was immensely helpful. Thanks so much!

[@jayclifford8284]

I just bought a canon r10 and I really hope you do a tutorial video for that camera. I've watched a few videos and they were too short, or they didn't explain the settings in a way that I understood. Or they dwelled on things for to long. You explained all the relevant settings to an appropriate degree for the r100, I hope you do that for the r10. Thank you if you do in advance.

[@tailung9680]

I loved your beginners guide to photography ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@blackbutterfly5599]

Just got my camera and this video is so helpful, I can't wait to start my photo journey ☺️

[@CarlDemonbrun]

Question:- can I use this Canon Camera with a UV , CP, lens filter kit for Canon RF lenses.? 🔥🕶️🦅🎬

[@michaeloconnor3580]

Does the canon app work with the R100? Would help with vlogging.

[@trevelyoung10]

Just bought this camera and this video helped me truly understand 😊how it works

[@caskelxi367]

This helped me SO much with the autofocus, I was so confused as to why I couldn’t use the control ring and got scared it was broken 😅

[@ricardogonzalez6701]

Hi. Thank you for such a great video. Is this camera capable of outputting video to an external monitor through HDMI while recording? Or will it stop previewing on an external monitor once the camera's record button is pressed down?

[@bradgentile5746]

I just got this camera yesterday and it's definitely different from the rebel t7 I have so this was a fantastic video to watch and learn how to use this this. Much appreciated.

[@Arcsecant]

Thanks for the video Tony! I notice the manual says the camera supports UHS-I, not UHS-II cards, so it's a bit limited in that way. I bought your photography book, what an excellent resource for us beginners!

[@PizzaWithScandal]

Hi, i just bought this camera but in video mode i only have max 50 fps and not 60 fps got any tip or info on why ? thx in advance.

[@TravelingPhotographer]

How can you move the single focus point to a different location ?

[@MattHalpain]

I have an EF mount 100mm macro lens that I bought used from Adorama costing me $600. I have a 24-105mm EF mount lens that I bought used from a friend. On my Canon 5D mark iii, and Canon Rebel T7 I can use both my EF-mount 100mm, and 24-105mm lenses natively with out an adapter. When I do upgrade to a mirrorless Canon camera will get a camera like the Canon R100 for the entry level price. And I will definitely save up for the 18-150mm zoom lens. I love my 24-105mm EF mount lens but to have an even wider and more macro lens like the 18-150mm will be great !

Side Note: The HDMI out can be used as a webcam but you would need a capture card as well. You will need to be in movie mode and change the HDMI out settings to clean 4k or clean 1080p.

[@gunnarwilliams]

what is the name of the device you are using to record and show the screen as you use it?

[@Cinematograper]

My q button won’t longer bring up the preset menu to adjust the background blur etc..any idea why? I did it before..now it just stays on the AF ..metering mode menu method menu etc ..

[@fabiofilo100]

Hi...I can't set the focus/control ring. The focus/control option appears, but I can't add a function to the ring. Lenses...RF24-105...RF16mm...RF35mm...Do you have any idea what it could be? Grateful!

[@ssigitas69]

I bought this camera few weeks ago and this video very helps me. Very amazing videos how to use camera itself. Though I had mirror cameras before, Canon EOS 1300d, 700d, 800d, it was useful how to use mirroless Canon as well. I find out new features for me 😁 Many many thanks. I will watch this video few more times to better memorize 😆

[@e.malachi5069]

No frills, not trying to be all fancy and hip [ which is often tiresome with ,any content creators] , Pace is nice and even and you come of as pleasant and not co descending g but aware that u have beginner's and pros as audience. Thus video is for education not entertainment and that's refreshing

[@timmaltby7798]

How is the HDMI out? I want to see if this can be used with an ATEM mini pro.

[@824Gary]

Very informative and you keep it simple loved it

[@flix2view]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just bought this camera and am excited to start taking pictures!

[@VincenzoCarlino]

What an amazing video! thank you very much! :) Would you recommend also the 55-210 lens?

[@vimboguillermo2801]

Hey Tony and Chelsea. Where is the unbiased review of the Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR, which I've been waiting for so long, on your channel?

[@christer1415]

For me with M50, M200, RP and R8 the app has been fairly smooth (to Android), but nothing beats memory card reader when it's just for the files. I think there is one more thing you can also warn about: USB connection on the camera. It's USB 2.0 and the camera isn't powered via the cable so it drains some battery too (less than wifi I assume). USB 2 isn't so fast - every memory card, even cheapest, will have a read speed faster than it (practice, don't look at just the spec). So a separate card reader with USB 3 or built into a computer is faster. For transferring to a phone via USB it's _far_ from standard that they use USB 3. And it's often very hard to find that info out (gsmarena may have it). So looking for USB-C portable memory card readers you can save a little bit of money of choosing the older (2) if it's solely to transfer to a phone with USB 2. I use micro SD cards solely, with adapter for the camera. My laptop have a built in card reader for only micro cards and other things (sound recorder, drone, etc.) so it's standardized. The adapters for memory cards are just "dumb" so no penalty for using one. I never remove the card from the adapter when I normally use the standalone memory card reader for the desktop computer. But also - USB-C micro SD readers are very small so not so bulky for the phone. Anyway back to the app, it can be used for more than just transfer files. One thing I noticed with the R8, maybe works for all or at least the R100 (?) is firmware update. So the app informs you about a new firmware for the camera, then downloads it to the camera on to the memory card and triggers the firmware update. Way less intimidating for novice users than browsing around canon's webpage and find the file to download and put on the memory card.

[@stokkes]

Thanks Tony! Are you able to make one for the Fuji X-S20. I suspect that will be the sleeper hit of the year!

[@josea.santos6988]

Hi, no words for you tutorial, WOW!

[@josea.santos6988]

Hi, can I use the canon speedlight el-100, for the r-100

[@stephentesta9106]

Thank you so much for this great video. I'm new and you make it quite clear😊

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandyskal-gerlock7692]

Thanks so much! Excellent tutorial! And thanks for the heads up re wifi- seems wise to skip it!

[@Thomaz5223]

once i did something in the r100, was taking pictures while recording but i have no idea how did i do it ,and even had the effects of a foto the sound of the shutter clicking do you know how that happened? i reaaly want to do it again

[@Sonali_Jshorts]

Can i get a video quality with this camera and that should be same as yours video quality? Does anybody have a answer

[@darwinhazel]

Great tutorial. Thank very much.

[@christophercastro1326]

Do I need to change a setting so that I can use manual lens?

[@jazzew]

Ooooh, this was a great tutorial! It's been a few years since I used a camera, and I got a few days to try this one out. I'm scared! LOL! But I want to try some astrophotography, as simple as catching some stars out my window. I'll see what else I can find to delve into the composition and "storytelling", as you'd mentioned. I love that kinda stuff. :D

[@Marie71333]

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a video to show how this camera works and its settings. I’m a visual learner not the best for me reading thru a manual especially online one! I received my camera at Christmas time 3 months ago. I viewed another KZbin video but didn’t go thru the settings as you did. I appreciate your time and information! I’m excited to get started! My dad was an amateur photographer and now honoring his love by continuing on my own photography journey! Many thanks! 🙏

[@bckupp18]

Should i use raw instead of jpeg when doing macro photography?

[@ryanfishydays]

If you're going to edit your photos after. Definitely use raw.

[@lelouchlamperouge5910]

Do these cameras give you depth data like smartphones?

[@ShotByBenn]

good tut, but why wont my all my options pop up for function settings

[@samcherof1973]

I have the same thing. Missing focus mode..

[@KeleenDesignsArt]

Thank you so much!!!! This video is so helpful

[@enatabate333]

what kind camera is good?

[@TRIZZY444]

It let me press record and shows it’s recording but I can’t see nothing like nothing I’m trying to record or take a picture of can somebody please help

[@TRIZZY444]

Can I record and take pictures without lens ?

[@thomasottvideos]

Excellent tutorial.

[@Dexzn._.]

Does it have an on screen level?

[@brunobear88]

Does the camera has electronic horizon level?

[@aaronasissoard1098]

0:49 love this edit

[@autobodypaint1746]

How do you time stamp photos ?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

You cannot, sorry.

[@SunamPal-o7o]

Why screen does not tilt? Vlogging is probably not possible on this One?

[@farmboy2462]

Chelsea left you alone with an R100 in the studio, and a good educational video is born, lol. I'm still on the fence on what model canon i want to replace my 22 year old 2.1mp Sony mavica cd1000 that just wont die. I have to except that while physically it's not dead after 22 years, technologically it died long ago. Lol

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Wow you've set a record for keeping a digital camera going!

[@melly23232323]

amazing ! thank you !

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Our pleasure!

[@Raja-ct9xq]

Is R100 good for videography?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Yeah the AF is pretty good. No flip screen, though, so you'll want to be behind the camera.

[@Raja-ct9xq]

Thanks for the response. 😊

[@catalin-ap]

Congrats on your new, Canon-crippled EOS R100 camera. No touchscreen on this. Even the R50 is quite ergonomically flawed, compared to let's say the Nikon Z50, though the R50 autofocus and features are stellar. Now imagine, taking away the touchscreen from the R50, as way as worsening it in all the ways, and you arrive at the R100.

[@tommysk7901]

This camera is amazing but the screen does not touch 😢

[@MundtStefan]

I believe that the EOS R100 is a marketing strategy. It marks the boundary and guides the human mind to buy the next better option e.g R50. Why do you think we are often provided three options when buying a service. One with so little provisions that it doesn't make sense. One pro plan that is way too expensive. How often have we selected the middle just right option. The provider guides us, eases us into buying what they want to sell us. It is about the human mind and the comments section is not the right place to discuss. I believe the guidelines that Canon offers us are indeed the R100 and the R3. My humble opinion.

[@TampaMaximumMike]

I think I like my older, bigger, heavier Canon better. The EOS R100 seems really small.

[@fieniewallace6828]

If there is a camera lens that you dont want ill take it😊
