I have to tell you, I bought the Canon R5 and was lucky to get it when it first came out. It was a retirement gift from me to me. I have always wanted a great quality camera and this was it. I am by no means an experienced photographer and have so much to learn. Your videos on my camera have helped me so much. I continue to come back to them for guidance. I can't thank you enough for helping me and giving me such joy in taking photos. I have yet to try the video but that is my next step.

[@darylcheshire1618]

Me too, I just retired and I just got the R5, My last Canon is the 5D mk III, so about ten years.

[@bladechucker]

Same here ;)

[@leilani2258]

Just picked up a used Canon R5 and this walk through was an absolute lifesaver. I have no knowledge at all of photography and cameras - and this helped give me the confidence boost I needed to feel more comfortable with the camera already. Thanks Jared. 😊

[@ommepoisson8903]

Your cadance, tone, and style are great. To put it simply, you don’t annoy me. Your vids can be in the background playing for hours. I keep rewinding because I get busy with my 9 month old or keep going into the camera to adjust it to your suggested settings. Thank you!

[@nicocatalano]

Hey Jared, the mark on the top of the camera to show where the sensor is located is for when you are pulling focus on a high five or nucleus or other ring system off camera from a monitor, you use that mark to determine focus distances. Coming from a 2nd AC I see my 1st use that mark as a measuring point on almost every shoot especially on fs6 and Arri systems

[@yschlussel]

Jared - Just discovered reason to use 1.6X crop instead of full... I was in the zoo today and wanted to see how I would do with the R5 and only the 28-70 lens figuring that I had 45M pixels to use if I want to crop. What I found out was the eye tracking does not work all that well when the subjects are small. When I turned on the 1.6X crop, the frame was more full with the subject and therefore the eye tracking worked better. Just a scenario when having a shorter lens than you want (not ideal), it might make sense to use the 1.6X crop to get better focus and a useable picture rather than relying on cropping afterwards to a not in focus picture.

[@smithbrownjones]

.....or just buy the right lens for the job...? 😆🤔

[@yschlussel]

@@smithbrownjones Right. Thanks.... 😆 I was using starting to use the camera and I wanted to see how far 45MP would take me.

1:08:35 For "Release Shutter Without Lens," that's useful if you're using adapted lenses, or manual lenses that don't have any electronics at all.

[@BethBuelow]

Exactly. I learned that when I got my first Lensbaby!

[@classact9144]

🎉 yes. Blunder they don't seem to know that. Makes them seem less professional.

[@morganshields2739]

The sensor mark is important if your going to physically measure distances for focus

[@basilbcf]

Great tutorial. One minor point: Starting around 32:32 in the video you start talking about Shoot Menu 7, IS (Image Stabilization). In that discussion, you show using a camera with a lens that has the stabilizer switch on the side. If someone were following your video with such a lens (lens with IS) they might be confused because they would NOT see the IS menu item in the menu. When using a lens that has Image Stabilization, the in-camera IS menu item will not be visible. You will only see that menu option when you are using a lens that is a non-IS lens. To see the menu item, either put a non-IS lens on, OR just remove the lens. Then, once you turn IS on in the menu, and reattach any lens, IBIS will remain on regardless of what lens is attached (except certain lenses, such as some cinema lenses, IBIS will not be applied). Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone were to follow along and not know why there were not seeing the IS option in Shoot Menu 7.

[@apeplinski2442]

TY! I was confused at this!

Thanks! I refer back to this video anytime I need to know something about my R5 cameras. I just purchased an R5C and of course the first thing I looked for is a users guide from you. Did you ever make one and I'm just missing it?

[@bobpollack6894]

Jared, can the R5 drive itself to the assignment and shoot the assignment for me, if so what menu is that in?

[@timelesscreations777]

Quick question. Are you wearing stretchy jeans? And if so is it because they don't overheat?

[@RyanTurner]

@jared Polin Thanks for the Video, just got the R5 today and this is exactly what i needed. :) on a side note Kelvin is measured in absolute numbers so it’s “5600 Kelvin” not “degrees Kelvin” just for future reference since you deal with color temperature all the time. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@frkaar]

Hey, the "Release shutter w/o lens" is usefull with Lensbaby lens. My camera refuses to shoot with Sol45 if this option is not activated.

[@billsstudio2528]

If anyone is scratching their heads at 32:35 regarding IS mode not showing up. You will NOT see this feature in non video mode if you have a IS lens mounted. See manual = [IS mode] is not displayed when an IS-equipped lens is attached.

[@capturelightmedia]

At the 1:08:35 mark, the “Release Shutter w/o Lens is also needed for when you’re shooting with adapted manual lenses like the Helios.

[@getdavo1]

I also play with pinhole lens cap photography which needs this setting.

[@rvboondocker2559]

I’m not kidding, it’s very big of you to make such a basic video. I am not a beginner, but there wasn’t anything like this when I was. I’d just add that the camera should always “off” when changing lenses or no cover on front of camera.

[@himanshoogovindani8511]

Hello Jared. I am soon going to be a 1st-time mirrorless owner (once my R3 arrives). I am overwhelmed having so many customising options and clueless about where to start with. There are a few videos about customising R5 but the way you explain things is just awesome. It would be great if you and Steven could suggest some hybrid shooter customisation suggestions.

[@babyBELUGAr]

Just sold my 5d4 and am getting my r5 tomorrow and I'm unbelievably excited. Really just for the AF

[@toddreed5799]

I know this video is approaching 2 and a half years old, but I needed to throw out my thanks for this guide. I absolutely love the fact you use an external recorder to record the menus in your User Guides as opposed to simply recording the back of the camera the way everybody else does. I used your Canon 90D guide when I got my 90D and I just picked up a new R5, so I'm using this guide as I go through the menus on that. Your method/style makes familiarizing myself with the menus "Fro" much easier.

[@corradoricupero7607]

Great video Jared! For the Film Plane Indicator or the Sensor Plane Indicator, it is usually this is used in film production so that focus pullers can mark out exact distances for talent to be from the sensor. For example, if they put a ‘mark’ on the floor 10ft from the Film Plane Indicator, they know that if they set the focus of their manual focus cinema lens to 10ft and the actor “hits their mark”, they will be in perfect focus.

[@LaneMaine]

It's hard to hit the right balance between being thorough and keeping things concise. You nailed it. Thank you.

[@rohangreenld]

with the line for the sensor mentioned at 16:15 I'm not sure but a lot of cinema cameras have a similar feature as a lot of cine lenses use measurements from this point for focus and you can use this mark to run a tape measure to work out your focus so might be along these lines. i know the C70 has a hook instead of this line for attaching a tape measure.

[@irvinprevost1387]

That's a nice camera bro

[@peterpechmtb]

The sensor plane mark is important when setting up your tripod plates for precise panorama shooting.

[@MarcKoetse]

Yep, you use it in combination with the turning point of your tripod to avoid parallax issues in panorama shoots.

[@alexsystems2001]

Fro! I appreciate all the work put into this video but I shoot with a GH5 😅. Thank you though for the effort and work, your videos are always done in a format that is pretty easy to understand. I had an A7R4 but just kept finding myself enjoying my GH5 and eventually sold my A7R4.

[@jul1anuhd]

Isn't the autofocus annoying? More like a auto defocus system xD Had the G70, GX9, GH5 and now the S5. Upgrading to the Canon R5. Otherwise great camera!

[@alexsystems2001]

@@jul1anuhd sometimes, haha mainly annoying for video but for photos the autofocus is good enough for me, I don’t shoot too much action. I do have to say the autofocus for the A7R4 was life changing! It was the most amazing thing on the planet. So if you upgrade to the R5 I am sure you will be impressed! I love the A7R4 but I brought out my 70-200 one day and it was just too bulky of a setup for me personally and what I do. Lovely camera though.

[@jul1anuhd]

@@alexsystems2001 For photos, MFT is very practical... Very small and handy, plus many small lenses. Was shocked at the full-frame lenses for the first time. Everyone said that the 20-60mm lens is so small and handy (for me it was the biggest lens I ever had xD). Great and reliable autofocus is just very handy for videos. All the best and have fun with the GH5 ;)

[@alexsystems2001]

@@jul1anuhd thank you! Oh yeah, I was shocked I went all in on the A7R4 and got the trinity of g-masters. Although beautiful glass and beautiful results the 24-70 f2.8 was crazy! Then the internal zooming 70-200 f2.8 it’s in its biggest position full time it didn’t fit in any bag I had. The sharpness, the f2.8 speed in darker situations were amazing though. I think you’ll like that expandable 70-200 f2.8 canon is making, I think will help a lot with the shock of FF lens size a little but I think the 24-70 F2.8 for canon with OIS built into the lens may make that range a little bigger, the 24-70 f2.8 gmaster I think is a little smaller because it doesn’t have ois built in. Yes nice chatting! I hope whatever camera you get you love. If you get the R5 please let me know how you like it! Ive considered the R5, I’m sure it is amazing but I don’t want a A7R4 repeat and not end up using the camera.

Nicely done Jared. Trying too make my way into stills again. A lot has changed in 12 years. This saves me a lot of time. I have skimmed over the manual a few times, but Canon often doesn't tell the significance of a setting, just what it is. The value add helps lot... And, I shoot Raw now myself. However, have you ever gotten strange artifacts in raw?

I have never owned an image stablelized camera, this is a key feature on this camera that I am very interested in. Okay... stupid question.... If i were to use an image stableized lens on this camera, do I set it to image stableized as well? Or? do I let this camera do its magic?... Say with the canon 70-200 EF.... also I have the 24-70 EF with no stableization where this camera fixes that issue.... I would think/hope.... :) thanks for your videos they are very informative... being out of the loop for a long time sticking with the same camera now venturing into the mirrorless world.

Long exposure noise reduction doesn’t “smooth” images. It takes a second blank exposure to eliminate hot pixels common during long exposures. You absolutely should leave it on.

[@adampullar4440]

Thank you for the video. Went from the Rebel T5i 9 years ago to the 6D Mii to the 1dx Mii, and just ordered the R5. You've really helped me through the years and I appreciate it!

[@BillSmithBSartist]

I’m not sure you understood long exposure light reduction. It’s not going to “smooth out” your image. It will subtract hot pixels that show up on long exposures. Your point may be valid for high ISO NR. But not long exposure NR

[@dee.other.artist8091]

Hey dude, a great video in general. However way too long for me, even with the timestamps. Are you producing a “Pro’s Cut” of this video anytime soon? I was wondering: People who buy this camera might know how to mount a lens and where to find the shutter button, right? 🤣

[@ohmyrodh]

Hi Jared, excellent information as always, thanks for that. The focal plane sign is inherited from old film cameras, especially plate cameras, where to obtain precise focus, the distance between the subject and the focal plane, that is, the film plane, was literally measured with a measuring tape. Today in certain conditions, especially in macro photography it could be useful.

[@d-naughty9735]

Thank you Jared!!! Awesome Video for the R5! Easy “Real World” review!!! Great content that us R5 “Newbies” can use!

[@omenworks]

[@dayz112]

I think the reason they have as standard " release shutter without card" is to allow the cameras that are on shops to be tested and take photos without the card, since if there is a card is easy to steal it. But yes, it's the first thing i change on my camera menu, and it would should start with that off, and it should be hidden on the menu. :)

[@vincentcestmois7529]

certainly true, but it should be off by default. It makes no sense to enable by default a dangerous feature for 0,01% of use case

[@darylcheshire1618]

The film plane icon was used in some macro photography where you can measure the distance from the subject to the film. Usually done with a bellows on a tripod. Perhaps product photos.

I havea couple of questions about the R5 Mark II that I thought you might be able ot answer - First, can I power the camera with a 3rd-party USB power supply? I don't mind spending tons of money on the camera, but their price for a USB power supply to power the camera and charge the battery in the camera is pretty outrageous. Second, one about connecting the camera to a computer. I know you can use Canon's Utility software, or take out a card and put it in a reader, but can I connect directly to my computer via a USB-C cable? I am planning on migrating from an OM1, which allows you to plug the camera into the computer, turn it on and select a special "Storage mode" from the menu, and the camera's memory cards appear as external storage drives on the computer, allowing you to directly access them with your editing software. Can the. R% Mark II do this? Thank you,

[@gordonneedham7014]

WOW it's information overload with all the new cameras. I currently use the Canon 5DsR. I am finding that my focus is soft and looks grainy ... I rely on AF trying to get Taco Bell Sharp photos ... but I'm starting to think I'm missing something. At 71 years old, my eyesight is changing so I was thinking of changing my Camera Choice to go along with the Tracking Modes and looking for clear photos. Every camera seems to be subject priority. I do Landscape (like all Beginners), as well as the deer and bears around my house, plus attend 1-2 airshows each year. What "R" camera do you recommend? or do I look at the latest and greatest model. It seems like the Canon R5 has all the features I need and should be a little less expensive because it is an older model? Suggestions??? No Camera Club near me. Thanks

Made it to the end. While I have no plans on getting the R5 in the near future, I always like watxhing/listening to these Users Guides as a way of learning about features I didn't know these cameras had, or as a way of explaining features on the Canon cameras that I do have. #Igotthisfar

Will you be doing a similar tutorial for the Mark II?

Why is the R5 Top LCD panel showing the last used mode after the camera power switch is turned to OFF? The mode dial doesn't change the last used mode when the power switch is turned off. Removing the battery does fully turn the display.

Why the hell JPEG still exists if PNG is much better and support losless compressing? I oniw it's slower but this can be solved with todays camera processors by using a buffer.

Going to use the canon R5 with the Canon RF14-35mm F4 L is USM Lens for streaming with ecamm live. Just wondering what settings you recommend on the lens and the camera whether it would be 14 or 16 mm on the lines I plan on having auto focus on without the Eye focus enabled

I finally jumped on the FF bandwagen and picked up an R5, and this video ha been invaluable at quickly getting me up to speed. My only other comment is that I was scratching my head when you started talking about setting up the camera for shooting video, no mention of how to switch the camera to video mode! That took me a few minutes to figure out! otherwise great instructions that even a trogl0dyte like me can understand!

[@thai24]

Digital Zoom?: Great video. Am I correct in that there is no digital zoom with the R5 so you have to buy the glass like the RF 24-105? Or am I missing that setting somewhere? Thanks!

Moving on to video once I get to the Movie Tab 1 I followed the settings and once it gets to sound recording your shows AUTO but mine just has option for ON or OFF?

that little white line is where the older 35mm film plane was located..too funny

[@RVNmedic]

Thanks so much. I really like your lunatic style. Reminds me of a lot of people I grew up with. Do you make any presets for Capture One? If not I'll still stay subscribed. LOL

#igotthisfar I have a Canon R5C, but of course all the stills side of the menu is virtually identical. Thanks for a VERY in-depth video. Definitely learned a lot!

I was doing good until you skipped a step as to how to turn JPEG off, and move to RAW, and somehow in trying to figure that out I changed the language to some sign foreign language I don't know where the heck it came from. Now I have to figue out how to change my language back to English before I can begin again!

[@LongManeDude]

#igotthisfar. My new R5 just passed the sniff test. This is a great video for someone moving from a ten-year-old DSLR to the current mirrorless technology.

[@rawlhas]

is there any option that I can custumise the "q" button(quick menu)?

[@HotGates]

Great just might move back to Canon from Nikon, Unlike Nikon mirrorless there multiple exposure blended result is only jpeg and not RAW like in their dslr's and their focus for bif can't tell the difference from a bird or a sky.

[@keeganflahive1604]

Buying a R5 this week to replace my R and this is awesome 👏

[@prayagpankaj9237]

[@MarianMoisii]

[@jeanmarc4157]

So I have the l series 2.8 24 to 70. I was wondering if the 1.8 50 mm would offer me much more. It feels like it should be a crime to use a $200 lens over in l series. Although I am getting one stop faster. I mean for 200 bucks I might as well grab it and test it out. What do? you guys think

[@NoTraceOfSense]

Go for it! The nifty fifty is a really good way to get into prime lenses, especially because it’s a “normal” lens - it looks fairly close to the field of view we see and doesn’t distort pictures.

[@paulmacghee5721]

Jared, You say you keep keep the VF Display in 1 or large, do you take you glasses off when using the EVF? Do you set the diopter to compensate?

[@marthakarenclark3368]

At about 1:10:04 you start talking about the video recording menus. I lost you - where is the video recording menus?
