What are the best settings for the Canon M50 to get the best quality?

[@Blasten]

Set to manual focus, press info until it’s removed, run sparkocam in the background via usb cable. Set source to capture card via hdmi cable

[@Tazz007p]

Quick questions on the sparko cam and capture card option. You have both hdmi and usb connected to camera and pc? And have sparko cam running in the back(for no auto shut off) and capture card for the video in obs correct?

[@Blasten]

That is 100% correct.

[@tannerwilliams7920]

Any chance you could make a video on how you would set it up using a capture card. Little confusing on the process.

[@matthewragudo]

Great video!

[@Blasten]

Thank you Matthew!

[@ErliGalano]

I’m currently using a usb cord and eos webcam utility for zoom calls. The annoying issues are it freezes and sometimes or most of the time, disconnects. So now, I just placed my order of that same capture card and micro hdmi for my eos m50. After watching this, I felt kind of sad about losing the autofocus tho I don’t really move when in zoom. But I hope and pray that the capture card solves my freezing zoom video issues. 🙏🏻💪🏻 Thanks for this btw. Stay safe!

[@ErliGalano]

Ps. I’m also using a dummy battery. 😅

I ran it with manual focus for the longest time. It works great

Is there a way to change the resolution you are getting out of the EOS webcam utility?

[@Blasten]

haven't used it in a while. did you figure it out?

[@FerdiCildiz]

My experience: - Tried EOS webcam utility pro, can't buy it since I'm not in the UK or US. - Canon webcam utility with usb to OBS gives me low resolution. I have to stretch the output in OBS. - M50 Mark I doesn't have a clean HDMI output so capture card won't work. - In this video he says that there's no auto focus option with capture card. My decision - I'll buy SparkoCam to get 1080p output with auto focus - I'll use OBS for recording, sending the SparkoCam's 1080p output to the OBS. I would like to hear your comments about this decision before I buy it. Thanks in advance everyone.

[@Blasten]

Thats what I did prior to me picking up the mkii m50

[@FerdiCildiz]

@@Blasten did you use sparkocam?

[@FRANCESCOANDRIERI]

Hi, very usefull video. I would ask you which kind of auto-focus mode did you used in with the m50 in this video, and which kind of video quality is 1080p al 24fps? Thank you

[@Blasten]

This entire video is 1080p 24fps. The auto focused is shown with the sparko cam and canon eos web utility examples

[@hijacrecords8636]

so i have a problem where, when i'm using capture and sparko cam, i can only see sparko cam, and when i use the capture card, all i see it a laptop screen with a grey background as if i was just doing file transfers

Thanks for the video, when using the EOS utility, can you adjust the video settings on the camera while the feed is coming into OBS live? Just curious if you can adjust settings physically on the camera. Great video!

Thank you for the video!!! Also would you happen to know why my m50 isn't showing up in the camera drop list on Sparkocam but it's showing under webcam? :(

its been a while, i havent looked. im not sure i can help

[@RobbieSko]

Great video, been using this method. But I really miss autofocus..sometimes I switch to Sparkocam just so I get that autofocus back even though I have camlink plugged in. May switch to Sony for main cam. Nice work!

[@Blasten]

Literally feel the same way. And ended up getting the wife the Sony a6000. I just love the color canon produces tho.

Thanks btw!

[@Thezapatabrandpodcast]

I just updated to Sonoma 14 and now eos utility won’t reconize …anyway to figure this out

[@Blasten]

I dont have a mac but ill see if i can find an answer

[@siindii3]

Sparkocam works for windows only. I have the AJA U-TAP HDMI capture card, and I have the eos ultily app on my iMac. I can connect it but my question is, if I connect it straight with the hdmi would it last more than 30 mins? If not is there another program I can use on Mac so it can last more than 30 min? Thanks in advance

[@Blasten]

As long as you’re using the eos app as the source, then yes, 30 min shut off it’s not an issue.

[@Blasten]

sorry so late, did you get it?

[@honestnewsnet]

The Utility app from Canon is a paid service?

[@Blasten]

No it is free

[@JanTejano]

I don't quite get it the portion where you mention with capture card + spakrocam. I have camlink and m50 but can't figure out how to use it with cclean hdmi and autofocus. Would it be possible to use the capture card+ the sparkocam to remove the box in my face if I am running autofocus?

[@Blasten]

Sparkocam cam plus capture card only keeps the camera on longer than 30 minutes. You get no autofocus but are able to get clean hdmi if you press “info” button until everything is off. But again, you’ll need to be in manual focus mode. If you need autofocus, you need to use sparkocam by itself with the usb cable only and select the camera source to be sparcocam, not m50.

[@JanTejano]

@@Blasten Thanks I am trying to set it up now. Thanks makes more sense now. I am using a Ef- 22mm macro, I'm not sure what it means but hopefully it works.

[@jazh9704]

Hey @Blasten, two questions for you after watching your awesome video. 1. Have you tried this setup with MacOSX? I have ordered the exact equipment you have (Sigma 16mm 1.4, CamLink4K, have an EOS M50, with al the cables). SInce Sparkocam doesn't exist for the Mac, I was going to use the EOS Utility (to keep the camera on) and OBS or any other tool without the autofocus. I heard ecamm live could be used in a similar way with the combo of eCamm via USB and HDMI via the CamLink 4K. 2. Does the RodeMic have its sound recognized through USB and/or the HDMI feed? I have a 3.5mm mic and a USB one on hand in case it doesn't. Thanks so much!

[@Blasten]

Hello James, 1. I have not used this setup with a canon yet but I have used it with a sony a6000. I believe you can use an app called Camera Live bit.ly/CameraLiveApp and also CamTwist : bit.ly/CamTwistStudio. But these arent anything Ive tested myself. 2. I have ran sound out from the camera its self but i choose to go through the usb. My audio routing is as followed. - Mic, XLR cable, go xlr, usb to computer. If you get a Usb mic, just plug it directly to the computer.

[@jazh9704]

@@Blasten Hi Blasten, thanks so much for the quick reply and the recommendations. Good to know both sound options are there. Thanks again!

The cheapest & easiest solution for MacOS barely anyone knows about: Micro USB cable + Cascable Pro Webcam app. I paid less than 40 Euros for the app and I have reliable Full HD 30fps streaming (it’s much better resolution than the free Canon EOS webcam beta app)

[@Blasten]

I will have to check that out!

[@safetyhomeloans950]

So for nonstreaming video recordings, I have my boom mic plugged straight into my M50. IF I would like to stream using Cascable, does the app allow you to use an external Boom Mic to capture audio?

I wish I knew. I’ll try and get my hands on a mac

[@BorderlessCommerce]

@@Blasten It is super complicated. There is a way, but you don't get HD (1080) which is useless for me. The way is to use the canon ultility app. However, SparkoCam said they were developing a MAC version, so I guess I have to wait for that. My MAC just runs faster than my Windows 10, which is why I would love to have a tool to stream and autofocus in HD on my Canon M50 without buying a new camera. Otherwise, I will just cough up the money on the Sony EV-10 since it supports it straight from the box.

I just want to know all your settings to get this crisp quality ....from color grading to camera settings this is probably one of the best video quality I’ve seen using a canon m50...also what lens are you using...you should make a video dammit lol i have a Mac so no sparkocam

if you thought that was good, check out my latest videos. i might have to make a video on it

How do I use it to record me while I stream my xbox games on Twitch with the live video of myself overlaying the gameplay?

[@Blasten]

You will not be able to record off the camera. You will need to record off a computer In obs

[@eunistudio]

@@Blasten hey, thank you for taking the time to respond! I finally ended up using my computer last night but I’m still lost on how to integrate the gameplay from console with the live feed from my camera. Do I need to connect my xbox to the computer? Or the camera? All of the videos I watch suggested the Camlink 4k so that’s what I bought. Did I make a mistake? Should I buy the HD 60S instead? Thank you again for helping me!

[@Blasten]

you will need the camlink for the camera and the hd60s for the console. and you will put those within OBS and you can stream and record with it.

[@eunistudio]

@@Blasten thank you so much! Most videos leave that out. I thought all I needed was the camlink! I really appreciate your help 😭

[@Mo7sho]

so what i understand is that m50 using for stream i will lose auto focus and no clear hdmi !? and no 60p at 1080p ??

[@Blasten]

You’ll only lose auto focus unless you use sparkocam or web utility as the source. You can still have 60fps.

[@Mo7sho]

@@Blasten but from where the camera get power ? From the usb cable ?

[@Blasten]

2:20 power supply

[@Rvckus]

@@Blasten So I just set up my M50 using the EOS/USB method and the highest resolution it'll let me use in OBS is 1024x576. I get the 60FPS, but not even 720p. The camera itself is set to 1080p/60FPS. Is there any way to fix that or is that just the current limitation of the USB in the EOS software?

[@polyclickkkkk]

I have exactly the same setup as yours. Capture card + M50 in Video Mode, MF. Every once in a while (3 minutes) the camera displays a message: "Viewfinder inactive, press any button to reactivate". Do you have any idea how to get rid of this? It's a camera thing, because it comes with the HDMI video signal.

[@Blasten]

go to the wrench icon in settings, go to tab #4, click display settings, set display setting to manual, and manual display as screen. let me know if that fixes it!

[@polyclickkkkk]

@@Blasten Thanks, I figured it out after a while. Apparently I have to disable the viewfinder timeout. Same tab, if I remember correctly :)

[@Blasten]

Awesome! Sorry I couldn’t have been help sooner. Glad you figured it out!

[@GalaxyGunSlinger]

My canon m50 doesn't show up on the top "canon camera" tab in Sparkocam. I have it plugged in with a capture card and power is on. Cant figure out why it wont show up. I don't want to buy sparkocam until I know it will show up bc other youtubers are showing it without buying it. Any one have an idea why?

You need to plug in usb

@@Blasten You used the M50 for the entire video? Why does your wall get so much darker when you switch to the M50?

Yes I did. Certain filters I used which I do not use any more more. I was devolving my own style. You can view my latest two video to see a cleaner image. I still use the m50 but mark ii versin.

@@Blasten Awesome! Thank you for the reply. Might end up getting a M50 now!

[@Blasten]

Do it. I have the mark ii now and it’s great. Just make sure if you do decide to get that, turn clean hdmi off while doing recordings. it will limit some controls but just turn it back on when needing to livestream. Also I use the sigma 16 mm lens. I should have a link in description

[@offlinebraaa8792]

Great video it did help me a lot! I Have some issue when I'm using an elgato camlink and EOS utility(for unlimited recording/streaming time) it does a weird bug... like a got ping with my PC (my PC has 1 seconde of latency when i'm moving my mouse or writing anything online... same for gaming) Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

[@hunterchristian5927]

so wait, if I have a cam link hdmi, do I need another usb too??

[@Blasten]

Yes because the camera does not have clean hdmi or autofocus, and shuts off after 30 minutes. Using the usb and sparko cam allows clean hdmi, unlimited recording, and autofocus. If you want to do the way I do, I use m50 as source, manual focused turned on, press the info button until screen has no hdmi information, and run sparko cam in the background so it doesn’t shut off in 30 minutes.

[@hunterchristian5927]

@@Blasten So I tried doing Manuel focus and I can't nail it. I have to be super close in order for it to not be blurry. Any tips on getting Manuel focus down?? Also, do I need spark cam if I have the canon app... I read that it was supposed to disable the auto shutoff because it gets a consistent signal... I may be wrong, any tips would be appreciated. Also, I am trying to live stream a Prezi video and my new Mac book keeps overheating. Prezi uses a lot of battery power and am wondering if the computer overheating is due to that or the camera putting strain on my Mac book? Have you had any experiences like this? Thanks

None of this works. How is it so difficult to plug a camera into a PC in 2022 ffs

[@Blasten]

How so? Because it’s worked for almost everyone

[@user-be1it9zi8v]

@@Blasten Because none of the many guides mention that EOS Utility blocks the video stream. Needless to say after hours of trying to make it work I was angry. But the point remains, this should be a lot simpler in 2022

[@Blasten]

@@user-be1it9zi8v I was pretty clear. Use capture card with hdmi AND usb with sparkocam running in background. Hdmi will be your video source. If you’re using eos app, all you need is a usb cable ONLY to send feed through USB

[@Blasten]

If you want auto focus , use sparkocam with usb and use sparkocam as source

[@user-be1it9zi8v]

@@Blasten Yeah that doesn't work if the EOS utility is running, which it does automatically when you plug in the camera, you have to close it down from the systray. But again, several cables and multiple pieces of third party software shouldn't be require to feed video into a PC

Hoo boy that was slow.
