How to get a clean HDMI output on the Canon M50

[@AppalachianAmbrosia]

Thank you for this information. The Manual focus is essential to get rid of the Face Tracking box.....Thank you for that extra info. I was only pressing the INFO button and had the camera on Face Tracking. Your video was a quick fix.

[@brianmayer54]

That was the final straw for me. I started with the micro USB from Cannon only to be stuck at a low resolution then tried micro HDMI only to be stuck not being able to remove the focus box without switching to manual focus...... I was trying to record video from my camera and audio from a pro mic to my computer and now I officially give up.

[@ClassicGhost]

Yes with an hdmi cable I still had the face tracking box. I will switch to manual focus. I’d rather keep autofocus if anyone can help me get rid of the face tracking box

[@RAULBARTENDER]

hi!!! I hava canon eos m. do you know have to disactivated the option when the camera turn off during the hdmi?? helpppp

[@ZanderRound]

Hi, I'm afraid the efm m50 has a limit of 30 mins play time and record time, I myself have to keep an eye on the time and press the shutter button in between segments to start the time over 🙄 sorry

[@RAULBARTENDER]

Zander Round you totally right just test it and at least 30 min not bad to look it up thank you for respond

[@JoeSmith9021090210]

You can buy an adapter that goes into the battery compartment, which then lets you connect it to AC power or USB with unlimited run time. check out Tech Gear Talk here on KZbin. Cheers

Hi I have a question please about Canon M50 I am trying to connect the camera to the laptop without cabil (Micro HDMI cable) so that I can see live output on my laptop.. via (WIFI) or any connection method that broadcasts the video live to big screen wireless Would you help me please ? thx

[@CarlBroadbent]

Will the record red dot disappear.

[@ZanderRound]

All screen overlays disappear but you don’t actually need it on record when streaming via hdmi. The software (eg obs) basically records what’s on the lcd screen. 👌 hope this helps

[@CarlBroadbent]

@@ZanderRound oh. I see great.

[@markanderson6639]

That was easy. I didn't know that getting clean HDMI from a Canon M50 was as simple as that. I was actually considering getting a Canon SL3 for clean HDMI but obviously I don't need to. Thanks for the info.

Is this a mark 2 or 1 ?

[@drasticg]

What cable are you using to connect with the computer please

[@JoeSmith9021090210]

Doesn't the auto focus overlay remain, even if you press the info button? If, that is you're using the AF, which I think is key.

[@ZanderRound]

George O you have to have it in manual focus for that to disappear too yes, not much of a problem unless you are moving around a lot 👍

Hello and what is the Red Point in the picture on the upper right side? And what is with the Auto-Focus Frame inside the Frame? Best Regards Volker

[@stevelibby3]

Im curious if you’ve tried via USB and no elgato... I’m trying to see if I can stream without having to get the capture card- (I’ll likely get it later for higher quality if I can still stream well without it. I’m currently experiencing latency when viewing live via the EOS Utility software... seems to be about 1 second delay...

[@ZanderRound]

To be honest I haven't tried, all the info I read steered me towards the elgato, but I'll research and try and make a video on it. Appreciate the comment.

[@stevelibby3]

Awesome... I don't go live often enough to make the Elgato a priority, but it seems to be the most recommended. Let me know if you experience the latency when you plug via USB : )

Do you get a 1sec lag using the capture card ? and Second question please is Whats the attachment on the bottom of your m50?

[@ZanderRound]

There is lag but you can adjust things in obs for audio to sync up in advanced settings, the attachment is the small rig cage for the m50. Adds more options for accessories and more protection. Appreciate the comment 👍

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

good video but what about the auto shut off? how long can you stream for before camera turns off and can you use camara LCD screen flipped forward so you can see what's in the frame?

[@ZanderRound]

Thanks, 30 mins is the limit before it shuts off but if you just press the shutter button before then it resets it. Also unfortunately when the hdmi is plugged in the front LCD doesn't work.

[@lark9497]

@@ZanderRound a dummy battery won't fix this?

[@lark9497]

Hello, I've seen videos that say that the m50 does not have clean hdmi out. It looks like you got rid of all the stuff on the screen. Some folks were saying we had to turn auto focus off for the m50. Is that what you did? Also, What are you doing to keep the power up? Some folks mentioned a dummy battery you could plug in. Nice video and I am hoping your are right about this. I don't want to loose the auto focus.

[@ZanderRound]

Lark hi yeah lots of comments about the same thing, I think I need to revisit this video and do it again now I’m a bit better at KZbin lol. Unfortunately yes to loose the autofocus box you have to turn to manual focus and lose autofocus. Pressing info gives you a clean picture output For the power yes a dummy battery has to be used but even then there is a 30 min limit until auto shut off, I set a timer on my stream deck and press the shutter button close to 30 mins that resets the time. Hope this helps and I will do another video on this to clarify everything

[@lark9497]

@@ZanderRound Nice work. There is a program to help w/ doing this, but I'm wondering if there is a less expensive program. something you might want to llook into.

[@ZanderRound]

Lark yeah I think it’s a paid program that connect to usb but you lose a bit of quality compared to the hdmi

[@GregSummersMusic]

So, the m50 doesn’t have to be put into manual mode to get rid of the AF square? Seems that no matter how many times I pressed the info button I couldn’t get rid of it. Had to go to manual focus. Also, I have a workaround with the eos utility but this is the only workaround to keep the camera display from going to sleep which shuts off the stream. I’m using a blackmagic web presenter to interface with the camera but maybe the Elgato is doing that for you? Keeping camera awake? I’m sure you are going to get these comments here because I’ve only seen one KZbin video that addressed the sleep issue.

[@ZanderRound]

Ah ok you can disable auto power off in the settings and also change the display off time in the power settings on the m50. I've had no issues using the elgato camlink with the camera turning off, I also use a battery adapter that's plugged into the mains. Manuel focus is needed too.

[@GregSummersMusic]

@@ZanderRound the highest for display off is 30 min so you cannot completely disable it and once the display timer activates, the feed is gone. Do you have an option to completely disable the display timing out? Also, the square for the AF stays on and the info but does not turn it off, unless there is a recent firmware that fixes this. Are you able to turn off your square for the auto focus? I'd like to still have autofocus but of course I don't want the audience to see that square

[@ZanderRound]

It only works in manual focus for the moment it would be good if canon fixed this with a software update, I'm not sure but I think because the camera is in manual focus the feed doesn't turn off. I will do a test tomorrow and time it 👍👍

@@ZanderRound Ok I will try it now as well

Hey thanks for the video! The one issue I cannot find a solution for yet is that I am using my Canon M50 for livestreaming when gaming but the quality begins to lag.

Please help as it seems I might be missing something obvious or I am the only one experiencing this issue. Thank you so much in advance!

[@ZanderRound]

I'm not 100% but if quality is lagging I would think that would be either your GPU struggling or your internet speed being insufficient. I have never tried linking via USB. I use the Elgato camlink 4k with the micro hdmi port for live streaming and it's been fantastic. Hope this helps in anyway, good luck.

Hello, a few years later now, do you still recommend using the Elgato CamLink capture card now that Canon has made available their USB Webcam Utility App ? Do you know if HDMI-output using the Elgato capture card is superior (or preferable in some way) to the Canon Webcam Utility App ? The M50 Mk II is out now but other than a slightly better battery I don't find much justifying the difference is cost, if/when purchased new can exceed $100 USD (I'm in U.S.). Great Tip Vid.. *Liked & Subbed* Thanks ... _and God I hope you even still see this now 2 1/2 years later..._

[@ZanderRound]

Hi thanks for the comment, today i still think hdmi has a quality benefit but the webcam utility is still good, and convenient, as far as the camera goes the m50 is still the best budget mirrorless out there in my eyes and the mark ii is a waste of money compare to the mark i, I sold my mark i a few months ago and instantly regretted it, trying to find a cheap one second hand is still difficult as they are so popular still today. Hope this helps and have a great 2022

No you have to have auto focus off to get rid of the square unfortunately

Zander Round which makes my point: Canon D50 doesn’t have a TOTAL clean HDMI. Almost is not an option to us who live stream.

That beard is a growin'!

Lol the wife is trying to get me to shave it off 1 week 😂

I bet somebody already said this, but if you are streaming using OBS, the easiest thing to do is to download the EOS software from Canon and then plug in through USB. Then you can use the autofocus and you don't see the square and you also don't have to spend the money on a digital adapter. If you use a GoPro this isn't an issue--plug in through the digital adapter and you're good to go.

The reason to do this is quality. That USB link takes the quality wayyyy down to webcam quality. Fine for a meeting, but it's NOT the same as the method here as far as results.

But for gaming it's very cpu heavy, I lost 30 frames on far cry which is cpu heavy.

Here is an update to this video.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp27opKKaZ12n7c Some of the information is dated and I was really bad at KZbin at this point, the above video is better 😂 thanks guys

That's it - sucks but yea, Auto Focus is OFF ... however, if you keep the F-stop open and don't move around much this works GREAT
