Excellent work, my friend. Important information carefully and precisely presented. Much appreciated…thank you.

Didn’t catch your name. Useful guidelines and very much appreciated.

Glad it was helpful! Doug Gillard

Thanks a lot for this video. I really need it. I will take the time to watch it tomorrow morning with a coffee and a notebook. Looking forward

[@jadie1234a]

I loved the tip about pressing the rate button and using the dials to change the height and width of the AF zones! Super cool!

I'm so impressed 1:23:39 with the foxes but the main thing is do canon listen to you ? well if not they should 🤔🤔🤔

[@lets_go_birding9096]

I'm glad you enjoyed the gray foxes. I was super lucky to have stumbled upon them this Year. Yes, Canon needs to quiet this fake shutter noise down even more. I don't think that would be very difficult for them to do, but I won't hold my breath :-)

THANK YOU for making this video. You have no idea how helpful it has been. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into producing this for us!

[@lets_go_birding9096]

My pleasure! I'm glad the video was helpful :-)

[@calcorstudios-rvcstevenson3666]

Once again, thank you for these videos. I hope it does not hurt your metrics that I watch it in chunks.

[@lets_go_birding9096]

You are most welcome! That's probably the best way to do it, watch it in chunks :-)

Preview AF is likely for selfies to ensure the focus of the subject(s), but it should be set to OFF unless used for video AF.

[@lets_go_birding9096]

Yes, that's correct!

[@snappycanon]

Hi I'v come from the 5d mk4 and I liked using my exposure lock with auto ISO and it stayed on with no problem for 30 minutes max, if I was in a certain position say using the ground in front of me or a wall and I was + 1 stop and using the DOF button to lock and unlock my exposure. it was easy just to point unlock and relock as the light changed. I knew if a bird flew past a place from say sky down past the trees my exposure would be right. but I dont seam to be able to lock the exposure on my R5 Mk2 and keep it as it just keeps turning itself off.

[@lets_go_birding9096]

Hello. I don't use that feature, so I don't know what the potential problems could be. Sorry about that. I shoot in full manual and occasionally use auto ISO and never have any trouble getting exposure correct or at least close enough that I can fix it and post.

[@remusmoise8836]

Thank to Olympus, we have “Pre-capture” mode from about 10 years ago, don’t forget that! Anyway, excellent tutorial!

[@lets_go_birding9096]

That's amazing! I had no idea Olympus had a pre-capture mode long before Canon. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@SVS949]

God grant you health and good luck, that's how much time and patience it took you to tell and write everything down... I have never seen such a complete view of this camera from anyone ...I'm going to buy it too, but Canon promised and didn't come to us....waiting .....Have you tried a 100 mm Macro 2.8 - RF lens with this camera.... I want to use it for Macro photography and for high-quality portraits of Swallows in flight - at a distance of 1 m - 2 m...Thank you for everything... Good luck, Health and Patience...

I'm glad you liked the video and my teaching style. Also, thank you so much for subscribing :-)

[@jensbuus6386]

You refer to a warning about impact on AF performance if you turn on the blackout free display or depth of filed simulation. I don't get them and don't see them in the manual. What do you refer to?

[@lets_go_birding9096]

Hello, that was from my personal experience with those setting from birds in flight. Just have had no luck with them on.

[@brendanhart1065]

How do I get 'servo', out of the box it is set as M and I can't find how to change it to SERVO

[@lets_go_birding9096]

go to 50:52 in the video and I'll show you how to put it in servo mode and take it out of single shot mode - if that's what you're asking.

[@ptenner56]

On my R5 Mark II, AF Area section on the menu will not display the focus type. It’s blank.

[@lets_go_birding9096]

Hi! focus type? Which exact screen are you talking about? Also, make sure you are in manual mode and not program or any other automatic modes. Just push the "mode" button down and select manual from the screen.

[@ptenner56]

AF operation/area 1/7, AF Operation is SERVO, and AF Area is completely blank. Yes, I am in Manual mode. Perhaps I need to send the camera in to be looked at

[@ptenner56]

Did a factory reset and that resolved the issue.

[@lets_go_birding9096]

Great. If you haven't already, there is a firmware update on the Canon website that you should install. Yes, if that happens again, I would send it in to get checked.
