I just wanted to say - I came across this video after watching Jared Polin's 2hr long video going through the settings on the R6 Mark II from the photography side and I am so thankful that both of you guys went into all the settings (I can't believe I sat through 2.5hrs videos of just camera settings LOL). It's incredibly helpful and way better than trying to look up stuff in the manual. Please don't ever delete this video! (just as a side note: Jared did go over the video settings but he is primarily a photographer so even though he covered it, he left most settings alone and didn't really explain from a videography perspective because that's not his specialty.)

@@Josh_Sattin Josh can you do one for photos? Mine is on the way, but coming from a 6Dii and I usually use grids/area instead of spot focusing for moving subjects, dancers etc. So eye focus might not be for me with multiple dancers on stage, where an area of focus might be more dependable. I don't know. But also program buttons to switch between sticky eye focus and then back to area focus for group shots etc.. I've a lot to learn.

Excellent video, I learned a few new things which I greatly appreciate. I setup the custom modes similar to yours so I will try them out in the coming days. It was interesting that even my menu options were different then yours in two cases. AF1 had another menu entry called Focus Mode AF at the bottom that didn't appear on your screen. Perhaps caused by different lens (I had RF 24-105/non L). I have the RF 24 1.8 which I think has the focus breathing option. If you were relatively nearby I would offer to meet up so you could take the lens through it's paces and try out the focus breathing. Thanks again!

I'm a 6D Mii user and I do photography, but I want to upgrade to a mirrorless camera because I want to do more video.

[@NastyBrkdwn]

Here's youtube for the win again! FINALLY got my camera in the mail after an almost 2 month backorder, so of course I had to come and look for a video of the settings to configure, thanks Josh! My only issue that I've noticed with mine is that when I'm in manual mode, I CAN'T have both focus peaking and zebra on at the same time. I'll either need to turn the zebras off to use peaking, or turn peaking off to use zebra. In the video above I see that you've got both of them enabled at the same time. How'd you do that? I'd like to note that I AM using a EF 24-70 lens with the control ring adapter...if that's the root cause of the problem.

[@stevepritchard3970]

At 26 minutes they appear to be both off on the screen - fairly certain you can have one only on at a time, but I expect you have sorted this already as you enquired 8 months ago. Cheers.

[@weemite]

Josh, this was great. Thank you. I intend to use vintage lenses so I’ll be filming in manual mode and almost always from a tripod or fixed position. Any tips or suggestions on manual mode video with the R6MarkII?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're welcome. There are a few things. I do cover them in my full advanced user guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6snWR9nriBr7c

[@Reinbeats]

great video as always! is there an image quality difference between normal 4k and 4k with movie crop?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Thanks! More noise in crop mode. You can see it in this video. 4K24 and 4K60 act the same on the R6II. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6nUdmlqlrCtp6s

[@rodporterfield]

So I can use one of the custom (C1-C3) modes for B-roll so that I don’t forget to change the shutter speed!!! Nice!!!

[@FordSierraIS]

8:20 had a long discussion about this with a friend, the name is misleading as it sounds like the NR is only applied to high ISO, but it is on regardless of ISO. i did some tests on photo and it softens images even on ISO100.

[@dsmolks1]

Do you know if it is possible to path the C1/C2/C3 settings through the custom buttons, so you don’t have to turn the dial? …if not, do you know if other canons do? Thanks!

[@marijn17s]

Really helpful video! I am having trouble with the focus sometimes though. For my purposes i sometimes have to shoot through a fence and when it loses focus close by it is absolutely impossible to get it back. It is completely lost even when pointing it at something very far which it should not have any trouble focussing on (not through the fence just to get focus back) and it just fails to do so. I have to then go into photo mode and in that mode it can instantly get it back. I have tried putting the focus speed to the maximum but it doesn't help. Any ideas on what i can try?

[@travisharrisphotography]

Quick question for you.. In photo mode, I want to be able to just press the record button and record video. I was told this will default to the video settings that are saved in move mode, in C3. So, I flip the camera to movie mode, set the exposure the way I want for video and save in c3. Great. Then, back to photo-mode and off I go taking photos. When I press the record button, it starts shooting video, but its not at all the settings I saved. Its in some type of auto mode? Its weird. How can I fix this?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You need to register the settings in C3. If you are in C3 and change settings it won't save them unless you register the settings in the menu.

[@travisharrisphotography]

Hey Josh! Yes, of course. For sure. Been doing that (been using C1 - C3 for a long time). But, on the R6 II apparently its not an option for the quick record button when in photo mode. :-( I wrote the same question over on Jan Wegener's channel and he wrote back saying its not supported on this camera. @@Josh_Sattin

[@markdebok]

First: great video, very helpfull! But a question regarding the HDMI display output: Does this mean, that when you use an external monitor without recording function, you can't use the touchscreen of the camera for selecting your object for auto-focus?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Thanks. Glad the video was helpful for you. If you have it set to output the display settings over HDMI, the LCD screen on the camera goes black. If you have the other setting where it outputs a clean HDMI the LCD screen works as usual.

[@JDproAV]

Wonderful setup guide. A couple questions. What video features are unavailable in crop mode when shooting with a ff lens? Also can you disable ibis while enabling digital is only? Thank you.

[@Josh_Sattin]

I can't really think of any features that are unavailable in APSC mode off of the top of my head. Yes you can disable IBIS and have digital stabilization on. Here is a full breakdown of the Canon stabilization system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pofRpHqbarKCaac

[@PabloVazquezVisualArts]

Hi! Awesome review! I have a question about video: When shooting in FullHD, is there any "line skipping" from the sensor or the frame is made of full read out and then downscaling? In old DSLRs, there was some line skipping, most noticeable as "aliasing" when shooting video with straight lines, for instance. And in 4K, what does the "oversampling" exactly do? some kind of pixel binning? Thank you very much!

[@Josh_Sattin]

The manufacturers are never clear about how they get their 1080p images if it is actually oversampled, pixel binned, line skipped, etc. The oversampling is a process where they use all of the pixels from the full resolution and convert it to 4K. Pixel binning and line skipping are two methods to throw away pixels to get down to 4K resolution while using less processing and quicker sensor readouts.

[@samirachiko]

Could be very useful a video about how to use the Atomos V with this camera! ❤ Do you have other videos about the R6II? Then what do you think about the dxomark sensor ranking that put the R8 at the third position?? That’s means that the R6II has the same position?? Because has the same sensor.

[@ninnieanddave]

Hey Josh. Thank you a lot for this great Video, helped me set up the R6Mk2, but I came across an issue and struggle a lot and I hope you have an answer for it :) I use for filming an external Monitor and when I use the Face or Eye Tracking Autofocus while Recording a few (3-5 People) sometimes it happens that the two Arrows appear and disappear randomly and sometimes it happens (while people are dancing or quickly got out of the frame and come back again) that the Focus loses the Object and I cannot put the focus back and need to stop the Recording. Can I re-arrange the Focus with an external Monitor while recording? Thanks in Advance!

[@WarszawskiProforma]

There are no special settings for AF using an external monitor. On Canon, you can't change the AF settings during recording, but you can select objects to track using either the touch screen or the joystick. If there is more than one object, it's obvious that AF will be probably lost in some cases trying to focus on the right object. I suggest trying different tracking settings (e.g. speed of changing the object to track). It may resolve your problems to some extent.

[@jahy-k4464]

thank you so much for the Video! it helped me a lot. I just have a question about the crop mode. Isn't it better to crop in post?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're welcome. It depends. For photos, it is often better to crop in post. For video, it's often better to use a crop mode (if there is one) since the camera records in 4K. Cropping in post will give you less than a 4K resolution but using the crop mode in camera will still give you the full 4K resolution. Using crop mode often can help with autofocus since the subject is bigger in the frame.

[@jahy-k4464]

@@Josh_Sattin ah ok. I thought you also lost quality in crop mode. But in that case it makes a lot of sense, Thank so much! 😃

great rundown thanks - shame it doesn't switch back to 4k after briefly using high framerate, and the archaic way canon still does whitebalance, bah. anyway, recently got the r6mkii and this vid helped me no end. More on the auto-focus as I took it out in anger recently and couldn't get my head around what it was trying to do (with R16mm lens, also have the drop-in adaptor and getting head around what actually works in AF focus-wise with my EF 16-35f4, 24-105f4 & 100-400...)

Hey Josh, I really love this guide and I'm shooting video, too. Maybe you could answer my question. I'm looking for a good video lens that supports the AI AF & maybe tracking stuff. I have three EF USM L-lenses (24-70 mm f/2.8, 70-200 mm f/2,8 and 50 mm f/1.4) and was wondering, if I should invest in a more cinematic 35 mm lens, like from Canon, SIRUI, Samyang ... Is there anything, you would recommend? Thx for an answer!

Hi Josh. I think that I saw in one of your videos the AF tracking option that does not focus on the background when the object goes out of the frame. I tried different settings but didn't get it. This is one of the most interesting features for me regarding R6II (which I own since yesterday). Do you know how to set it up? Thank you in advance

[@Josh_Sattin]

I think that is a "face only" autofocus feature but unfortunately it's only found in the cinema cameras, not the mirrorless cameras.

[@WarszawskiProforma]

@@Josh_Sattin Thanks for the reply. Damn, I was pretty sure that I saw this in some video about the R6II. That’s sad.

[@WarszawskiProforma]

I finally found this feature. I was right. It can be set up on the R6 II. It's on the first page of AF settings. Movie Servo AF -> Subject detection AF -> detect only. After choosing "detect only" if you set AF to track when you go out of the frame, the focus will stay in the same position :)

You said you can't record to your internal SD card if you use a monitor? I have a Shinobi and was planning on using that to see myself better in front of the camera and still use the LCD screen to access the menu, but will I be able to record if I do this? Seems kind of dumb of Canon if true.

[@Josh_Sattin]

You can use an external monitor while recording internally, but the LCD screen on the camera will be off. It's really annoying.

[@mattanglum7673]

@Josh Sattin is that a "feature" of all canon cameras? My M50 is the same way and I thought I could buy my way out of that issue.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Unfortunately it's a weird quirk in Canon Mirrorless cameras. If I recall correctly, the R5 and R allow you to see the LCD screen while putting out a signal over HDMI and recording internally.

[@FredricMelchersson]

A quick question, Im not seeing 23fps. When high frame rate is on, I can choose from 100fps or 150fps. What I'm I doing wrong? :D

[@Josh_Sattin]

You are in PAL mode and need to change it to NTSC.

I followed this video before shooting some video, but I have a problem. All the video is greyed out. When I turn off the c.log.3 in camera it stops that from happening. Is all that recorded stuff lost to the grey now?

[@Josh_Sattin]

What you are seeing is the Clog3 image. It needs to be graded, as explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHSnkq1netycqMk

Hi everyone. I just made a video with the canon r6 mkII using Clog3. When I played it back in Lightroom it was completely unuseful: An extreme amount of grain. How can I correct this?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You probably aren't getting enough light to your sensor and/or using a very high ISO. Please check out this video to help you expose Clog3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goanimyvmLOfepo

[@PhilipZilfo]

can you explain why false color is quirky?

[@PhilipZilfo]

@@Josh_Sattin you said the false color was quirky.. why?

[@Josh_Sattin]

@@PhilipZilfo Sorry I realized I replied to the wrong comment. It's quirky because you have to have view assist and focus peaking turned off to use the false color in the R56II.

[@PhilipZilfo]

@@Josh_Sattin hahaha i figured you were responding to someone else.. yeah it sucks.. i set up two buttons to turn on false color and zebras and i’ve put the view assist button in the Q menu so i can quickly turn off view assist before i turn on false color. i wish you could could assign view assist to a button. can’t understand why they wouldn’t give that as an option. would be so much easier to just turn it off with one button and turn on false color.. two button presses.. or for example, just automatically disable view assist when false color is on and as soon as you turn it off view assist goes back on.. seems logical.. why not?

[@Josh_Sattin]

@@PhilipZilfo Just the quirks in Canon mirrorless cameras. There are others.

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Why on earth do they not do a software update the would switch off view assist when you switch on false colour and then reverse it when you turn false colour off. Simple solution but I suppose that the Canon programmers just do not use these cameras.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Great question!

[@v1c1ous0ne]

My menu only give me 4 options you show 8 and I don’t have all the setting options you have…..was there an update I need to do?

Nice intro video into the menu systems. But many sections were skimmed thru or skipped altogether. A more comprehensive dive into what each setting does would be helpful. I know the video would be like 2 hours long but still useful for lazy people like me that would rather watch a video then read the manual. lol

[@DARSHAN.MAHAJAN]

All i ...?

[@cup_oh_tea]

Why would you set metering to 30 minutes? That is going to be terrible unless you have extremely controlled lighting. Metering is how often the camera samples the light and applies noise reduction, highlight peaking and any other auto features that you have enabled. So, unless you are doing long format in a controlled studio environment, it is going to be better to have it set to something like 30secs to 1min. For anyone using aperture priority or shutter priority or another mode that isn't manual, it is also useful to have this set to a faster interval to prevent things like exposure changing with the time of day and scene lighting. Once again, this is a variable setting that you'll need to change according to your shooting style and needs, but at the same time for most of those watching, 30 minutes is going to be an awful choice.

[@Josh_Sattin]

I shoot in manual so all that does its leave the exposure meter on the screen longer.
