[@xXTTNXx]

hi i dont have 4k 29.97p only 25p. Is there any fix?

[@ronn1NNNNN]

I have clicked photos in auto mode , and raw pics (using canon EOS r50) When I start seeing the pics in 55 inch tv all the pics are grainy. Now what should I do ?

[@yolandagomez9255]

that lens does not focus though. It does in Manual but not AV, TV ectc: is it supposed to be that way?

[@misterliquidcity]

So first of all, i love your videos. Problem with your videos they are too good. I keep changing what camera I should get. Do you think this is the best beginner camera in this price range? I am really using it primarily for live video Zoom meetings, etc. And videos. I'm not going to take a lot of pictures or make videos outside. Also, what lens do you recommend for this camera for video that doesn't break the bank? Thanks, and you definitely have a new subscriber!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Well if you are focused on video only, I would consider the Sony ZV-E10 geni.us/ObFCBGY also, but yes this camera is a good option as well.

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

Jason-I know that when an EF lens is used with the R50 a 1.6 crop factor is imposed. In some video reviews it is sometimes implied or said outright that the 1.6 crop factor also applies to the 18-45mm kit lens when used with the R50. I always thought that lenses like the 18-45mm kit lens designed for a cropped sensor camera were specifically designed to allow them to operate with the specified focal length, am I wrong? Are they true 18-45mm or 28.8-72mm?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes the "crop factor" is very confusing at first! The effective focal range is what I am referencing. You don't need to do this for full frame cameras/ lenses because effective is the same as what the lens says. On crop factor cameras the lens numbers still reference to full frame standard of measurement. This is why we need to calculate the "effective" focal length when using the smaller sensor cameras. This is also why some crop factor cameras use 1.6x and others use 1.5x due to the actual sensor size... Basically with crop factors you get more effective zoom when compared to a full frame camera. One more example I will give is if you want a 35mm look on a crop factor camera you would need to do the math and figure that out. so basically it would be 35mm / 1.6x which gives you ~22mm.... So if filming with a crop factor camera you would need to use a 22mm lens to give you the same "field of view" as what a 35mm lens would give you on a full frame camera. Again, because the standard is measured in full frame when it comes to focal lengths this is why we need to do the math....

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

@@Jason_Hermann Yes, I understand all that but that doesn’t answer the basic question, is does the 18-45mm kit lens provide the true 18-45mm range of view or does it too crop to 28.8-72mm?

[@Jason_Hermann]

​@@blueridgebonsai9155 You always have to apply the crop factor unless you are using a full frame camera with a full frame lens. So yes it is an "effective" 28.8-72mm...

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

@@Jason_Hermann Thanks for that clarification. The information in a lot of KZbin videos is conflicting or just glossed over with respect to this question so it is good to have a specific answer.

[@thefilmalliance]

I just rented the R50 and am super pumped about the 10 Bit HDR mode, What are your thoughts on the lens selection? Great video btw.

[@jasonpeishan]

Hi there. Just wondering if you shoot in HDR PQ mode, what color space will you use in adobe premiere pro and when you export the video will you convert to rec709? I found out that if I use the rec709 for HDR PQ on the timeline, the video will be overexpose. But if I use rec2020 together with clog LUT, the colors looked way better

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks for the kind words and yeah lens selection is a bit of a problem with the Canon RF-S system at the moment so there are barely any lenses to chose from other than non wide angle kit lenses... 18-45mm is not to bad for a kit lens, but the 18-150mm is significantly better I would say and you can see that clearly in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIeZiZmVert1iZY I just started using the 55-210mm which I got with this kit and it also appears to be really good so far considering the price and zoom range. I did not pixel peep anything yet on the 55-210mm though... Other than that you have a few affordable RF primes like the 16mm, 24mm and 35mm. The RF L lenses are incredible quality, but they are huge and very expensive so for this camera don't make the most sense to me. Beyond that you have some fully manual lenses that look like fun... As far as the 10-bit HDR-PQ mode, I used it on the R10 and R6 Mark II and found it hard to use so I would be very interested in seeing your findings on that! All the best, Jay

[@Jason_Hermann]

Hello, I think you were asking The Film Alliance, but I can tell you in Final Cut I had to use the HDR option on the footage and then Final cut new what to do with it. I'm not sure if Premier has something similar.. However, I still found it hard to use for the most part, both exposing "correctly" on the camera and trying to grade the footage in post. I need more practice with it for sure, but I do much prefer grading regular log footage.

[@jasonpeishan]

@Jason Hermann thanks for the reply. Yeah I agree with you. But R50 doesn't come with canon log. I also noticed that once I shoot in HDR PQ mode the video quality seems to be much softer compared to the normal mode but retains more highlight and shadows.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes that is correct no Clog and yes the 10-bit HDR-PQ mode has more information for sure in the highlights and shadows... The issue for me is, the workflow when using it. I need to practice with it more for sure!

[@MizanurRahman-ub6fr]

I am about to buy one in two days. I am confused between R10 and R50. Which one do you suggest? The price for both cameras is the same in my local area; they have an offer on R10. It will be used mostly for street still image.

[@Jason_Hermann]

R10 is the better camera between the two...

[@chrismorgan8147]

@Jason Hermann is there any option where I can stop the LCD from turning off while the camera is on? It’s really annoying and I can’t find a solution

[@Jason_Hermann]

There are options in the power saving area that you can change. I don't know if it will stay on always though... cam.start.canon/en/C011/manual/html/UG-09_Set-up_0150.html

[@Jason_Hermann]

You put the lens on the camera and point and shoot? Do you have an RF 50mm f/1.8 lens?

[@vigneshhari8917]

Sir, I am planning to create documentary-style videos that include content about foods, traditional secrets, and interviews with people. Additionally, I need to capture high-quality photos. Given that I am not a beginner and have used the Nikon D5600 DSLR for the past four years, could you please suggest a camera that would be suitable for these purposes? Sir please give reply. Sir, before watching this video, my preference was the Sony a6100Y. Is that a good choice for the features I mentioned? Could you provide a corrected or better version of this?

[@danypromax]

Which one is better for beginner and first camera sony zv e10 or canon eos r50?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Both are great options Dany, and I would prefer having the viewfinder for photography in particular, but the ZV-E10 is a little better in a few ways for video I would say. If you don't think you will use the electronic viewfinder for your eye in bright conditions, then I would go with the ZV-E10. If you want that viewfinder for bright conditions then something like the Sony A6100: geni.us/Jd1DG9 or the Canon R50 would be a great option. Also, Sony has way more lenses to choose from at the moment, but Canon is slowly catching with lens options...

[@jasonpeishan]

Thanks for the video 😊 very informative. I have subscribed to your channel. Just a question and hope you can help me out. I'm in dilemma whether to buy a prime lense rf24mm or rf35mm mainly for videography purpose as the kit lens doesn't provide high aperture size. Moreover this camera R50 is an apsc which means that it has 1.6x crop factor. I'm new in videography and maybe you can advise me which lens should I buy for my first prime lens. Thanks and appreciate if you could help.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Honestly the current problem with the Canon RF-S lens line is there are no wide angle options. The RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens: geni.us/fYVnltt is currently your widest and most affordable option with auto focus at this time...

[@jasonpeishan]

@Jason Hermann thanks for the reply. Yeah I know there is not a lot of selection for RF lens. But I do some photography shoot occasionally. So I am looking for a flexible versatile lens. 16mm is a bit too wide for taking portrait photos right. Coz I see a lot of reviewer saying that 35mm is the human eye lens. So considering the crop factor I am thinking thay 24mm lens (ff 35mm) should be the best. However, if I buy 35mm lens(ff 55mm) will be a bit too close for videography/vlog

[@Jason_Hermann]

Well typically vlogging often means hand holding the camera while talking to it. For that you will need the 16mm. If your using a tripod and have room to step back a bit then yeah the 24mm or 35mm would be a better option for way less distortion and better background blur if desired. I would go with the 24mm over the 35mm for crop factor camera because it gives you more flexibility.

Hi, do you know if the canon R50 has a clean hdmi output? if yes, how do I find it

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes it does if you go to the HDMI Display options with the camera in video mode. It's on page 6 of the 1st camera tab... you need to select the camera + monitor option, but the camera will not record internally in this config so you would need record off the HDMI with a Ninja or something...

Canon R50 has an 3.5mm diameter stereo mini jack, but is it truly stereo? The canon M50 had this listed in it's specifications and it turned out to be only mono audio. None of the reviews have actually answered this question for me.

Hi, I am a newbie.. can you help me so to choose which lens I should buy? I want to buy the Canon R50, but I don't know which lens I should buy. I need to do manly photos to my family.. so for example to a person (bokeh effect) or to group of persons. Which one of these lens you recommend to me? 1) CANON RF-S 55-210MM F5-7.1 IS STM 2) Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM 3) CANON RF 24MM F1.8 MACRO IS STM 4) Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM

[@Jason_Hermann]

I would recommend the 50mm f/1.8 geni.us/U8903L and the 18-150mm lens geni.us/5pxFjX for everything else.... Canon has very few lens options for the crop factor cameras like the R50 and the really good full frame RF lenses cost a ton....
