Cinematic Look with the Canon SL2 (200d) - Tutorial

[@TechGearTalk]

What's up everyone?! I hope this cinematic SL2 tutorial was helpful. I love how powerful this camera is for the price. A lot of people dismiss it as a beginner camera, but I think the results are pretty good. Let me know what you think!! Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

[@alex-ee3st]

Do you think this camera still worth it in 2019?

[@sameldin2022]

Amazing 👍👍.. waiting for the color grading video.. Thanks.. Greetings from Australia 👍

Congrats and good luck. Let me know if you have any questions. (but start a new comment thread so I'm notified)

[@molkaan]

As owner of a 200d i just want to say THANK YOU! One of the best tutorial I’ve seen so far, and makes me happy about using this camera!

[@TechGearTalk]

It's so nice to hear that it was helpful. Thank you for watching and for the support. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@BabyBackManiac]

I wish I could go back in time to 3 years ago and have this video when I started. Seriously, bro, this is the best 18 minutes somebody new to videography could watch. You are going to help a LOT of people get started with this video and if these doesn't end up with a million views someday it will be a shame.

[@TechGearTalk]

Wow, that's amazing to hear. I'm really glad this video was useful. I was hoping that I didn't include too much stuff to the point where people wouldn't watch. Really appreciate the feedback.

[@BabyBackManiac]

Tech Gear Talk my pleasure. I would’ve loved to see this when I was starting out. My only concern about how many views this gets is because it’s tied to the SL2 and Canon seems to be moving away from DSLRs right now. But I guess you could just make it again with a different camera. ;-) I’ve said this before but I’m really thankful for this new batch of camera/photography youtubers coming up who just seem to want to help.

[@TechGearTalk]

Good point about it being tied to the SL2 but yes, I could just re-do it. I'm just glad this is being helpful. I know people waste hours/days/weeks/months searching for info.

[@Rupakmallick1991]

Totally agree...

[@TechGearTalk]

You agree with it being good? or with there being a challenge because it's tied to the sl2? or with both?

[@jonscon4604]

[@DoctorF1984]

TechRunsGadgets That's it. The 200d is a great camera. She is very valuable and for this money you can't get a another camera with this quality. It's sad that the 200d often stands in the shadows of the expensive ones... My sister got the 200d to xmas from me. She is totally happy and me too.. I love the 200d. Great photography should not cost a lot of money, so the 200d is perfect.

[@TechGearTalk]

I totally agree, it's a fantastic value.

I completely agree with you that people overlook it. They think "oh, beginner camera". But the truth is that you can get great results with it. What lens/es are you using? Appreciate the Sub!

[@drewjfordphoto2010]

@@TechGearTalk oh, the usual suspects... ef-s 10-18, nifty fifty, 24-105 etc

[@TechGearTalk]

That's a nice and complete setup.

Omg I’ve had my SL2 for 3 years . Used it in auto mode and wish I had a clue on what the hell your talking about . I hate myself !!!!! Bought the camera for KZbin , which has gone no where lol. But I enjoy my camera. I actually bought my first lense last week , the canon 50mm 1.8 ( start small ) I will continue to watch all your tutorials as I really want to learn . Much love from the UK

[@rupamnath3961]

I bought my first dslr canon 200d II today and watching your video to learn how to operate it.. great video.. thanks

[@TechGearTalk]

Congratulations! Hope the videos are being helpful.

Great video man! I got my SL2 and a nifty fifty for about 2 months and I'm loving it. Btw, shout out from São Paulo, Brasil!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank so much for the feedback 🙏🏻. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share. Was it easy enough to follow?

[@TaitusC]

Is nifty fifty good with that camera? I got the lens already but im thinking about buying this camera

[@andyobrien6263]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial, very thorough & easy to follow-great work!

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was useful Andy. Do you already have the sl2/200d?

[@andyobrien6263]

Tech Gear Talk Yes I do have the 200d, I’m a wildlife photographer & videographer & use it for certain parts of my workflow. I have the Nikon d5,d850 & d500 for stills & the Fuji XT3 & XH1 for video, however the 200d is great for quick timelapse, vlog & Broll - the colour science is great straight out of camera & it’s so light & easy to use on sliders & gimbals. I also use one for my DSLR camera traps which means it can be left outside for weeks at a time in a weatherproof housing but it’s never failed to date!

[@TechGearTalk]

That's a pretty sweet lineup there. A tool for every job. I think people sometimes underrate these smaller cameras because they are only looking at specs and don't take into account workflow and real-life use. What you described is a perfect example. Thank you for sharing and for being part of the community.

So glad it was helpful Jason. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help.

Great great video. So we'll done. So thorough but to the point. I have struggled with putting all these concepts together until now. You just changed my field of view from a 125mm lens to a 22mm lens.

[@TechGearTalk]

Congrats!!! Hope this was helpful

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

very inspiring. as the owner of an SL2, i purchased it for the dual pixel autofocus. i have read plenty of web slams about the soft 1080p, canon mp4 codec. sure, it's not 4k. sure, it's not the sharpest footage. that said, there is something very appealing about the image, especially since so much of the footage we see is distributed on the web. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i look forward to ANY and ALL SL2 vids you post. BIG thumbs up for a job well done.

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad it was inspiring. Yup, I heard all the same stuff you're talking about. But for the price, I can't think of a better value. I've got more coming!

[@tamasvarga67]

smalltalk.productions It’s a fantastic camera for the money especially considering the affordable decent quality STM lenses.

[@TechGearTalk]

Great point about the affordable lens options @Tamas Varga

[@ChicoReyesRosas]

Hi friend! Is it normal to have to raise the iso to more than 800 even having a good luminosity? in Iso 100 even having good light it looks dark in my SL2. I would appreciate your help :)

[@TechGearTalk]

No, that is not normal. Can you give me the rest of the settings (aperture, shutter speed and frame rate)

[@ChicoReyesRosas]

@@TechGearTalk :( Aperture 4.5 , shutter speed 60 and frame rate 30 I'm sad :( mi SL2 is New :(

[@TechGearTalk]

And you are shooting outside? In bright sunlight?

[@ChicoReyesRosas]

@@TechGearTalk yesterday I recorded on a sunny day but I recorded in automatic mode and there were no problems but today I recorded in my room with a decent illumination in manual mode in with the iso 100 I didn't see anything at all, I had to upload it to 1600 :( to have a result regular, what can I do friend?

[@TechGearTalk]

Ok, in your room, it would depend on what you consider "decent illumination". My guess is that you don't have enough light. You would need a lens that opens up wider than f/4.5 and/or to add light. Does that make sense?

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a beginner and it not only inspired me as it helped a lot on the process of making cinematic videos.

[@TechGearTalk]

That just made my day. So glad I could help. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@joaoleaojunior]

@@TechGearTalk I usually underestimate the fact that good responses can push us forward on content making. i'm currently at 6k subscribers and every video i make and ge that positivity just makes things way better to go. As for questions, i want to know more about color correcting and color grading in a way that things dont look so overdone. I've tried to make my footage more cinematic by altering those values and i can't seem to find the good spot for that. usually i see the shadows just pitch black and grainy whenever i up those midtones and also been having issues with over saturating stuff. i rather make my own luts but i need to master them before trying, thank you so much for this great content, i've watched a couple of videos now.

[@TechGearTalk]

Super solid questions. I'll try to make sure I address those. Sounds like you already know quite a big and hopefully I can give you some tips to put you over the edge.
