Canon R6 Mark II Cinematic Video Guide | Advanced Tutorial

[@ryanellis3816]

do you or someone else have a good video for how to get video shot post processed quickly and viewable for the novice dad with kids? Thanks

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

If quick view-ability and processing is a priority I would avoid shooting in a LOG format and instead shoot in a standard profile so that the color and contrast is baked into the image.

Nice detailed video. How to shoot in bright sunlight if you do not have ND filter?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

You would either have to raise the shutter speed and accept the lost motion blur. Or you would close the aperture and accept the deeper depth of field. I typically don’t like those compromises so I’ll use an ND filter.

[@josecarlosr6317]

[@rodporterfield]

I just tried shooting outside for the first time. Light from the sun kept changing due to cloud cover, which ruined my exposure. If shutter speed is constant at 1/50, what do you recommend changing, aperture or iso, to adjust exposure to compensate for the sun dipping in and out while trying to film outside?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

Ideally I would use an ND filter but if thats not available I like to change the aperture to adjust for the brightness. I want to keep the ISO at its base of 800 at all times.

[@rodporterfield]

@@BrunoPozo4Real any ND filter in particular?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

I got these cheap ones from K&F, a better brand might be NISI or Polar Pro. But be sure it's a variable neutral density filter (VND for short) so that you can adjust the intensity depending on your lighting conditions@@rodporterfield

Hey buddy, it was an amazing video as I just bought my new gear. However, can you also explain how to use LUTs afterwards? And where can I get the LUTs? Thank you

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

Sure. Here’s a video of how I use LUTs to color grade. They are modified versions of the official canon lut that cost $19. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2aQeWxmnKmDf9Usi=Us-StDnrOYJKTxi3 But if you want the canon official luts that are free then you need to go to the product page of the R6 and go to Drivers/Support. Then put in your computer info and select the canon luts option. It will download a folder with the luts. Cheers

[@stiescreativeagency]

Bruno, Awesome content! Would you do a video or share recommendations for clog in a concert environment? We assume it's totally different that what you recommended above because the face flesh tone will be colored by stage lighting that is constantly changing in hue and brightness. We can't find any low light concert videos for R6 Mark II on things like clog, IPB vs. IPB light, if 4K is worse for low light, if High ISO compensation should actually be off etc. Thanks!

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

Sure thing. I actually started recording a stage for Improv Comedy that has taught me how I like to set it up. Stay tuned :)

[@stiescreativeagency]

@@BrunoPozo4Real Awesome. Thanks. I rented a R6 Mark II for a concert shoot this Friday actually. I've scoured KZbin for hours trying to find someone knowledgeable at that level. I may just opt for 4k 30fps so I have some more data for post zooming and digital stabilization if needed. I feel 30fps is going to give me smoother footage with performers. Jury is still out on IPB or IPB light since it will be edited on a MacBook. But I need to squeeze as much quality as I can. clog looks amazing, but concerned with the contstant light changes I won't be able to rely on a one time zebra pattern to give me a good benchmark. I may opt to skip clog and apply color filters to simulate color grading in post. Not as good but getting blown out footage would be worse.

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

@@stiescreativeagency In your use case I would recommend shooting in 4k30 in IPB and just skip the Clog-3. Clog-3 takes some time and practice to get comfortable exposing. And if you expose clog-3 incorrectly it can be really challenging to fix. While the standard video profiles you will see how the final video looks while you shoot. So you can adjust things before it gets out of hand. Best of luck!

[@stiescreativeagency]

@@BrunoPozo4Real Totally agree. Thanks and look forward to you doing a possible low-light event video with this camera. Nobody has a definitive concert video that covers things as in-depth as you do.

[@photosolutions8618]

Thanks for the straightforward video. I understand what the ND filter does, but why was that the first option instead of lowering the ISO from 800 to something in the 100-400 range?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

When shooting in Clog-3, you get the most dynamic range at 800 iso+. Dropping the iso below 800 removes a few stops of dynamic range in the shadows. You can visibly see this if you have histograms enabled and drop the iso below 800 (the graph limits change)

[@angelllacuna8889]

on the Log Settings, what is the View Assist option and why you leave it OFF ? (the video is a bit too fast, especially for people who depend on reading the subtitles)

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

Sorry about that, I’ll keep that in mind for the future! View Assist allows the preview of the video on the camera to have contrast/color added. When view assist is off it will keep the log look which is grey/low contrast. I trun view assist off since it often messes up my exposure, since the way they expose the preview image is different from how I expose.

[@GoodNewsPromotion]

Ok so let me know if I’m understanding correctly… before i turn on clog 3, I should set my white balance up first, correct? Once my WB is properly set, then I can proceed to turn on clog 3?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

You can adjust white balance with clog3 on or off, it is not dependent on that feature.

[@perkrafft3904]

I have just bought a cine-lens, IRIX 21mm to my Canon EOS R6 Mark II. However, my camera won´t take any picture or even make a video. I guess there should be some kind of settings, but what settings should i do to be able to use my cine-lens? With an ordinary Canon lens there is not any problem at all to take pictures or make a video. Does anyone have a tip what i should do, maybe what kind of settings?

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

Ahh this is an easy fix. In the orange menu there should be an option for “shutter with no lens” and enable that. With cine lenses, since they are manual lenses without digital communication, the R6 mark II doesnt recognize a lens on the camera. So it won’t shoot photos or video. Just change that setting. Google it if you cant find it. Cheers

That is strange. I have no idea why the 1/8 isn’t showing up for you, you can try updating the firmware though. It might help! And it’s okay if “auto shutter slow” is greyed out, that’s only available for some of the other “auto” modes like Av, Tv, B, etc..
