Canon R5 | The Video SETTINGS You NEED to Know!

[@dglatz01]

Jan your R5 content is the best I’ve seen, anywhere. Everything in one place. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to put this video together. If you are not a Canon ambassador I don’t know what that term means.

[@jan_wegener]

Hehe, maybe one day ;)

[@sparkyjshaw]

I pretty sure your tip on the M-Fn button custom setting just changed my life. Excellent tutorial!

[@jan_wegener]

awesome!

[@celeritasc9207]

OMG! Auto Update Settings. Thank you, thank you, thank you. That drove me crazy whenever I used the custom programs. I tried to remember to manually save my custom setup whenever I made adjustments in the field. I can’t count the number of times I missed great shots due to forgetting or fiddling with camera settings during action. Great advice on everything else too. Very informative, I will now adjust my camera settings.

[@jan_wegener]

Yes, game changer when they added it :)

[@StuntcampRaaltestunts]

The M-Fn button tip! Thank you!!

[@etiennebertrand6337]

Just received an R5 for work and I'm forced to learn quickly how to use it as I used to work with Nikons and I'm leaving on an assignment in just over 5 days. This video is a goldmine, I will be shooting video and photo in an inhospitable area with below freezing temperatures and limited shelter. Think gloves, mittens, frozen fingers... the tools you unlocked for me will save me from minor frostbites, it's guaranteed ! thank you !

[@jan_wegener]

Glad I could help! I also made a set up video for photography

[@peteruddock7519]

This is the benchmark for help videos on KZbin! Your explanations are clear, concise and easy to follow and your content is super helpful. I will now watch your video on camera settings. Thank you. 👏

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it helped!

[@ZE3kr]

Set M-Fn to Video/Photo switch is so useful. I have tried this for months and it is really convenient! Much better than Mode+Info

[@jan_wegener]

Makes it much more usable

[@atomcreates]

Amazing video for someone like me who’s experienced at photo but relatively new to video. Thank you.

[@sallyjberry805]

I'm just beginning to learn how to take videos on my R5. You gave me the perfect tips to easily take videos in the field. Thank you!

[@jan_wegener]

Great to hear!

[@captaindaedalus1]

Jan, this is a great help. I had no custom settings, so this will be very helpful. Additionally, I didn't like the technique required to switch between video and still. Now, it's much easier and quicker. Thank you.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@captaindaedalus1]

@@jan_wegener Very helpful...

[@TheKingmaji1]

I would like to thank you for making this video. I've been shooting only stills for the past two years. This really has started me down the path of getting up and running.

[@jan_wegener]

Awesome

[@mvp_kryptonite]

I can’t agree more but for me stills since video was introduced. Now I’m going to apply this to my R7 as there is no reason not to be a hybrid shooter! 1st time I used custom functions in photo mode I was annoyed that it defaults back but this setting to auto update is perfect for me.

[@Lax-Sharks]

I just want to say thank you. I spent a really long time going through different videos to help me understand my camera, and your teaching style was exactly what I was looking for.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad I could help!

[@OfMicNMen]

Fantastic video. I watched 3-5 videos before yours and yet I still learned stuff from your video that others didn't even touch on. Thank you!

[@gojoe36]

4th CUSTOM Function Button...AWESOME idea..clever man you are 💪😉👍 Also the Custom Shooting Modes C1-C3 Auto-UPDATE that will help A LOT. Great work Jan

[@jan_wegener]

Yes, it helped me a lot when I realised I could set it up like that :D

[@darrenbarber323]

I have had my r5 for over a year and never tried video thank you for a very good information

[@jan_wegener]

No problem 👍

[@dav14pawest]

Great video as usual. A couple things that I never considered that you talked about. 1- set up C3 and saving once you see what your conditions are for each shoot. That should have been obvious but I overlooked it. 2- Auto update settings. I always thought I would never want that enabled but your explanation made me realize I was missing an important feature. 3- The 4th mode trick is brilliant.

[@jan_wegener]

Yes, took me a while as well to work out all the little tricks you can use the make the camera the most usable. Glad I could share some of them :)

[@drtnrao57]

Now the auto update mode is cleared to me.I thought camera firmware update is prevented by this.Many thanks for this video.

[@HariGopalakrishnen]

Hi Jan, whilst I await your revert on my query below, I am happy to say that this video and the earlier one on how to set up Canon R5 was so very good that I have got my second R5 too! Thank you Jan for elaborately explaining the settings. Its become a breeze in the field for me.

[@jan_wegener]

Wonderful!

[@ManKhunChan]

Fantastic - exactly what I needed (for a video beginner). Step by step guide. Thanks Jan. Cheers!

[@jan_wegener]

Happy I could help

[@nickdagorne1298]

This will be HUGELY useful when I eventually get my new R5! It looks like I will need to replay this on slowmo to follow all the settings changes, as you obviously know the R5 like the back of your hand! Very many thanks for your support. I am so pleased I came across your channel when searching for R5 information. Definitely worth keeping subscribed.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@navinsakhuja3990]

Superb. One of the best video setting explanations I’ve seen. Possibly the best. Well done Jan

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@harshvardhanrane198]

most helpful always, no frills, only best settings.

[@jan_wegener]

Happy to help!

[@multanilala]

This is best tutorial i ever seen in KZbin, Thank you

[@WildlifeInMotion]

Super useful video Jan! Nice tip for the 4th custom mode! Another way to re-focus in video is to use the touch & drag AF (moving thumb on the screen while looking through the viewfinder)

[@jan_wegener]

Great tip!

[@allanwilliams2361]

I asked for this and now I have it. Thanks Jan. All I have to do now is set it all up. Much appreciated.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad I could help!

[@danieleriksson556]

Thank you Jan! You're the best! Just what I needed! I'll watch this several times and make adjustments accordingly 😊

[@jan_wegener]

Glad I could help

[@pvp31976]

BRILLIANT video! Though I am super comfortable with photo mode, I am an absolute newb to video and this brilliant video showed me how to set up, SO EASILY! Love the detailed explanation and guidance! Thanks Jan!

[@davidclode3601]

Thanks Jan, excellent video!

[@jan_wegener]

Glad you liked it!

[@jameschilton3556]

Many thanks for highlighting the Auto Update Settings - this is a huge help.

[@jan_wegener]

Yes, big game changer when I found out about it

[@marcialgamma]

finally a good understanable video. thanks man!

[@jan_wegener]

Glad you liked it!

[@HariGopalakrishnen]

Jan, Excellent tutorial on video settings and C1 to C3 . Would be grateful if you could also have something like this tutorial on the following: 1.) 8k+25p+ (what should it be - All-I or RAW or Light Raw?) 2.) How to get 16:9 aspect in 4k and 8k? 3.) In Clog 3 - What colour space is best recommended for wildlife, mammals, birds, and separately for travel shooting

[@shyamksukumaran]

Thank you Jan. It was quite helpful.

[@jan_wegener]

So glad!

[@n.d.nnandin7937]

SUPER HELPFUL, MAN! THX

[@jan_wegener]

No problem!

[@Pacojerte2022]

No one at my work or any other video has been able to answer my question. But you just answered it. Deactivating C-LOG and shooting in "jpeg" is sort of the equivalence of S-cinetone on Sony

[@maliazima4334]

Love your wildlife photography! I was so excited to see that you make instructional videos too! Thank you!

[@jan_wegener]

Glad you like them!

[@nicolasgonzalezv]

Que buenos consejos! Se agradece demasiado. Saludos desde Talca, Chile.

[@skootyalan556]

I also have purchased your prosets and I am glad that i got it

Great to hear!

[@love4wildlife]

This is a great video, Jan. Comprehensive and concise.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zafar1084]

Jan thank you very much for the great instructional video, your style, explanations and the use of good close ups of the R5 menu screens really helps me understand the camera. There's a lot to learn and to take in especially for video which, for me is a new language but I'm diving right in. You are my go to person for the R5 so keep up the good work.

[@davidjenkins181]

Perfect Timing - My R5 arrived yesterday and I was just going through the settings. I have had an R6 for 8 months and have looked forward to more hybrid photo/video shooting with the R5.

[@jan_wegener]

Awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DanBetty]

I had an interesting phenomenon with this setup on my Canon R5. I set it up exactly like your set up in the video and my camera would fail to turn on about 60% of the time unless I took the batteries out and put them back in and I haven't had a single freeze up since the 1.5.2 update. I cleared the custom settings and I was back to normal. turned it on and off 50 times with no problem. I put the settings back and got the same result so I called Canon USA and reported that. Not sure which of those settings are triggering that in my camera But I suspect it's the auto update enabled because that's really the biggest change from my previous settings.

[@brianlanier6413]

Superb. Just what I needed, and I'm not even an animal photo/videographer. Just really helpful 👍👍

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@prosunsport1]

Outstanding well explained

[@jan_wegener]

Glad you think so!

[@kk7308]

Thank you for another amazing tutorial! Just wondering how to change the shutter speed to 1/50?

[@newdayinspirations5792]

Fantastic video and perfect timing. I was looking just yesterday for a video that talked about setup for video of birds and people in the R5. I watched another guy's video but prefer the settings you shared today since that is already how I had it set up, except that I will change the Mfn button to switch between photo and video now.

[@jan_wegener]

Awesome, thank you!

[@VictorAffaro]

very helpful , thanks a lot

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it helped

[@tomhansen3182]

Great video Jan. I am primarily a stills, landscape photographer. I am an R5 shooter as well. So, this is extremely helpful, especially to me as a nube in the video world. Thanks for taking time to put this together.

[@sleepmusicwhitenoisetinnitus]

Great video, now I can use my R5 and get the best results, thanks

[@jan_wegener]

Great to hear!

[@wellbrock]

Jan - thanks for a great and informative video. I've had this bookmarked for some weeks, but finally had time to watch it tonight in preparation for a couple of videos in the next week or so. Thanks again!

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tiaoat2013]

Thank you Jan. So helpful. Even though I'm shooting the R6 the AF information was great. I was kinda doing it all wrong! Keep up the great work.

[@jan_wegener]

Happy to help!

Thanks you! Great video

[@jan_wegener]

Glad you liked it!

[@kenalexander8714]

Great video and your setup and explanations have made it so much easier than reading the manual. I've now setup my R5 to use video which I've not bothered with before. I've done some test recordings and it all works just as you said. I love how easy it is to switch now between still and movie.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it helped!

[@christianwetzel1862]

Thank you so much. I'm really familiar with all the stills settings, but as a beginner with video was constantly confused with the video modes, their AF and the switching in between, eventually not using them much. This was exactly what I needed.

[@jan_wegener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@VEGAMF]

Tks Jan !

Very Nice, I use High light priority mode (D+) on all modes, makes my camera a wide DR version. Looks amazing :D

Thank you so much for this helpful video! As a photographer who wants to improve his video skills I have learned a lot right now. It’s great to know how easy and quick you can change between the photo and video mode with the Canon R5.

@@jan_wegener Thanks, have a question when you were discuss using CD 3 , do you mean M3. I use 1-2-3 for my photo, I think of it as PAL Portrait, Action & Landscape

Was this the perfect video? 👏🎬

[@Mike124T]

Really interesting and informative. As someone with virtually no experience of video recording I will definitely set my camera up for video shooting like this and am sure that I will be pleased with the result. Thank you.

[@jan_wegener]

Awesome!

[@shawn5210]

Great video Jan. One custom button that I have set up is to boost screen to full brightness temporarily and then press again it goes back to the previous setting. I usually use a mid range screen brightness to conserve battery and also if you leave it on auto or full brightness it can be confusing with exposure in low light. I use the button on the front near lens Mount for this.

[@jan_wegener]

Great tip!

[@philipkoenig9197]

Brilliant thanks!

You're welcome!

you are amazing jen! what is the best settings for excellent quality for instagram reels? thanks!

[@mageefilms]

Great tutorial - what I have not understood - how or where do you recall custom functions c1-3 - after the 3 settings in video mode have been made?

[@jan_wegener]

You have to select them with the mode dial

[@jonasborgvall]

Thank you Jan, for saving me a lot of time. For my work I will surely find some personal tweaks that fit me better, but I will base my adjustments on your settings! Great knowledge explained in a great way!!

[@jan_wegener]

Wonderful!

Hi Jan, I’ve commented on this video before, but wanted to say thank you again - it remains valuable! Have any of the suggestions you make in this video changed over time or is this still your go to? Also, please can you make an “Exposing and grading CLOG3 for dummies” video? There are quite a clog3 videos on YT, but no good ones focussed on wildlife (that I have found).
