How to Setup a DSLR for Cinema or Video Shooting - Canon 5DMIII

[@Footzy_11]

Finally a video for dummies. You explain so a new-beginner understands. And thats what many youtubers forget. These videos are meant for dummies like me. Experienced knows already how to set up their cameras. finally got my settings done

[@dbasarich]

I learned more watching this video in the first minute than any other video. Thank you for posting this. Very worthwhile watching especially after all of the money I've spent on hardware/software over the years.

[@jimzielinski]

I've had this camera for years but primarily for stills. You just answered every question I was looking for plus several I didn't even know I needed to look for yet. A huge thank you!

[@RayDavies123]

Your tutorials are really interesting and easy to follow. My Premier Pro skills have improved leaps and bounds after your series on the Adobe Suite. Please know that we appreciated the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@chinfat]

Thank you much!

[@mitch60mccoy]

Hey, I've had my cameras for a number of years and I still just learned a ton watching your video. Great stuff. Super simple to follow. And really helpful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@mikesparks3398]

I looked all over youtube when I first got my 5d mark3 for something like this! simple but all the stuff you need to start! thanks!

[@RaventheScienceMaven]

You are literally a godsend. Thank you. My settings were ALL wrong. I had this $1.5k camera and wasn't even taking advantage of the settings properly.

[@dianapetersen6373]

I cannot believe how hard it was to find any kind of directions or tutorial on how to shoot video on this camera! This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@timkeefer177]

I watched about 15-20 videos and if I had found yours first I wouldn't on need the others, Great Job

[@axtionaus]

Absolutely brilliant. Step by step and I like the headings so I can jump to them when I need an update

[@douglasinfarinato5163]

I have watched this video twice now, and I'm going to put what I learned to use tomorrow videotaping a large display of moving, model trains. Thank you very much for sharing this detailed information with everyone!

[@locovidepro]

This was by far one of the best tutorials. Thank you so much.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Been using the histogram for a while, but did not know about using the light meter with it. Awesome tip!

[@chinfat]

Thanks for watching my videos. I appreciate it.

[@starlightinnovationsstudio3317]

Thank you Sir , you are Just "AWESOME" I had no idea about Canon 5D Mark III, I bought this camera a while before , anytime I touched this camera I got more Confuse than before, But thanks to you , Your Tutorial is very descriptive, Extensive, and really Simple to understand. Now I will be using my camera without any frustration. Thank you so much

[@catseyes11]

I know this vid is from years back but Oh my God you just saved my ass today! I just started a multimedia communications course and we are focusing on creating videos right now. I just got my Canon EOS 5D Mark iii but had no idea how to use it for video and since I bought it second hand, the settings were all jacked up- at least, not set for what I need for producing quality video. Thank you soooo much for doing this tutorial, new sub, will check out your other vids as I am sure there is a ton of info I could use beyond the basics of setting my camera up for video. Cheers!

[@shirinraouf]

This video was like a course! Thank u so much! 👏🏼♥️

[@jameswhite5360]

Thanks for the video. I am a photographer and have been asked to shoot a bit of video for a client, this has been a really useful video for me. Many thanks.

[@regisdesalles6866]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL, REALLY BRILIANT!

[@JennyPalmChannel]

Oh my, I feel like I learned so much! I just bought this camera. So excited to learn and start shooting better videos. Thank you for an awesome tutorial😊

[@chinfat]

Thank you. Good luck with the camera. It's a great one.

[@germaniumoxide6382]

It was great to see a Genuine tutorial after a very long time

[@kiltynashinnagh]

Very clear and helpful thanks. I'm shooting in the Antarctic next month and would like to know the best Kelvin setting for all that white.

[@AnitabyDesign]

This was awesome! Thank you so much for helping me to finally understand these terms that I hear so much as I venture into learning photography. Your explanation and teaching style are great.

[@JCPhotographyMallorca]

this was actually really helpful thanks so much

[@Spider_06]

[@wadesmith666]

Awesome , I learnt a lot, still confused with some things, but getting there

[@shevasahara4038]

Thank you for such a helpful video, I'm just now randomly finding your channel but if you don't already, you should teach classes! Soo informative and precise.

[@TheSara2332]

[@smartdencity]

Very helpful training and one of the best I've seen. Thank you very much Chinfat.

[@williamdaniels1798]

Great video! Very helpful, great pace and the perfect amount of detail! Thanks so much for this.

[@neilraymondwallace167]

Loved this clear and straightforward instruction video on approaching shooting video on full size sensor camera Canon 5D Like to hear as well your views on choice of what to look for in tilt pan heads for documentary making and some recommendations on uploading data from the camera compact flash files onto laptop or portable hard drive as you shoot.

[@alwayschasing]

Great video. Learned a lot. Thanks.

[@tyroneshoelace4872]

Some questions please; 1. Are you formatting to wipe out all previous settings? Will it wipe out my still image settings? 2. How do these movies settings effect the still image settings? I don't want to have to keep changing my settings every time I use the camera.

[@sureshanair9574]

Hai. This information is valuable. This vedio is useful to me thanks a lot....

[@SchardtCinematic]

I shoot most video using my old Minolta /Rokkor lenses. All Manual focus and the look and feel is much more organic. I use an adapter from Fotodiox to adapt my lens to my 5D mark 3. I use a simple rubber focus ring on the lens for focusing. LOL Love the Romper Room Reference.

[@chinfat]

That's awesome. A lot of those older lenses have great glass in them. They look a lot better than a lot of the new lenses.

[@sureshthudi1992]

tq very much sir...for u r greatest guidance 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕵🕵🕵🕴🕴🕴🕴🕴

[@Pinarelloi]

Thanks a million for making this tutorial, to explain the basics of videography. I'm just starting my journey into dslr video, and this was a massive help...

[@5057a8hype]

Thank you! You are a life saver!

[@pgmg-and-tv]

When shooting video camera vertical or landscape?

[@jimmybarry6254]

Well presented.

[@flacolopez7048]

Great video thanks! One questio ? When shooting video and going from inside of let's say a house where there is low light to outside where it's super bright how do you manage to adjust exposure without messing up your video and be able to follow your subject from inside to outside? Thanks!

[@sf2tv]

Nice

[@yeethiopialijochkefeleagizea]

GOOD INFO MAN THANK YOU

[@Nasarullahbaig]

Very nice and detailed tutorial, I really appreciate it.

[@deepakkumarphotography]

Simple and well explained, i started to follow your channel for Adobe premiere pro tutorials series and now with this dslr video shooting tips you really make this easy for beginner. Thanks a lot sir.

[@tycooper7780]

I have been getting a lot of drifting lately when importing into Final Cut. I shoot 24 fps 1080p. I record my audio separately on the Zoom H6. I have my Zoom H6 set on 48Khz24bit and have Final Cut set to preference 24fps 48Khz. What do you believe the problem may be? Should I set my Zoom H6 to 16bit instead of 24bit?

[@tonylouisvisionvideography3469]

I find that a computer with weak RAM, processing power or Slow hard drive can cause drifting. The main reasons for drifting is incorrect settings on your editor compared with the settings on your Zoom H6. If you shot with your Zoom set to 24bit your Editor should be set the same 24Bit. The best thing to do is calibrate your system by experimenting/trying out different settings and see what happens. Cameras, recording devices always have to be set up correctly to work properly.

[@pedrorockstar]

This video is great. Thanks for posting it

[@keifervitalis1830]

Excellent teacher ! Thanks much

[@THOMAS1945STO]

I agree with the others ! Very good and usefull tutorial !

[@KelleyA2E]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

[@otabekb]

hi may i ask what post process program is the best?

[@juballandry]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@dylanrayphotography3850]

can you tell us the details about that lens you recommending for filming please ? thanx

[@surajdeen7531]

Could you include a session on tripods ?

[@BplexOnline]

This is the easiest setting to follow i did it at the same time i was watching but i got a question... is this applies to photos as well or its just video?

[@chinfat]

It does to an extent. Yes. Still photography differs to a degree. For one example, ISO can be boosted higher. You can sometimes get away with shooting at 6400 ISO and not detect the grain. The grain is noticed when you are playing back in motion photography.

[@BplexOnline]

@@chinfat thank you. Im a bigginner i just got my 5d M3 and my 70-200 2.8 and a 50mm 1.8 lenses hopefully i get better

[@CRA1G1978]

if you have brought a 5d iii do you really need the very basic commentary and CF card and taking a photo?

[@chinfat]

This is for beginning film students who haven't used that camera. Not for you. So yes... yes, I do.

[@HURPSYYEMRAY1]

Thank you

[@ndirangumusa339]

good to me coz I wan be doing photos & shooting cameras are great,behind the lenses.

[@ummarwayanad4376]

Thanks... Sir

[@Ulmontor]

I'm shooting on my Nikon D800 and I have trouble finding good cinema lenses... any recommendations?

[@rakeshraut3757]

rokinon cine lenses with Nikon mount even cp2 lenses you can get with nikon mount but these are very expencive. Rokinon ones are budget and great lenses for cinema. but shure you are geting cine ones as you seen in this tutorial

[@TheRedpool]

Hello there and thanks for the in depth tutorial on the Canon 5D Mk iii for video. I have got a question for you and I am hoping that you will be able to answer. When I focus on an object and then I decide to pan left, or right, even up and down (without zooming in-out) would the camera maintain the focus? I have tried this but has not worked for me!!! In the kitchen I focused on some plates that where by the sink, and went to the dinning room, I then came back to the kitchen, it was not in focus. I did not touch it, nor zoomed in-out. Any idea, how to achieve this please? Thank you very much...

[@chinfat]

Do you have an AF/MF switch on the actual lens? That is the auto focus/manual focus switch. If so, turn it to MF. Other than that, not sure what the issue may be.

[@TheRedpool]

Hi there and thanks for the response. I leave it on an MF, which is Manual focus, however I am still having the same issue!!!

[@chinfat]

Hmmmm... not sure on that one. Is it doing it with one lens or all lenses?@@TheRedpool

[@TheRedpool]

With all lenses! I have tried the 17-40 L. Series, 100 mm Macro, 50 mm Prime. @@chinfat

[@mikesparks3398]

does it not shoot all -I with an sd card? if not what does it default to?

[@chinfat]

It will record just fine with the newest, faster SD cards. When the camera first came out, the current version of SD was not quite fast enough, so the compact flash was needed with the higher data rate.

[@callan5323]

Wait, am I Dreaming or did you create an outstanding DSLR Cinema set up ; )

[@thebaldeditor6148]

nice . i was going to shoot with this camera at next weak for a Channel . i shut with nikons and blackmagics and i have never shut with canons . this think helped me a lot Thanks a million . but u didnt mention that how to change PAL to NTSC (25 and 50 FPS for PAL and 24 ,30 and 60 fps are for NTSC so how to change it ? u camera is in NTSC )

[@akshaybabu5503]

amazing first time commenting on someones video ; very much helpful (y) keep doing

[@DJWOLFIExx]

Rokinon cinema lenses are amazing bang for buck, manual focus only. great look though. Sigma Art lenses are great for docs, 18-35mm 1.8 and the sigma 24-70 2.8, creamy images. tameron has comparable lenses. those two lenses cover most of what you would need for a doc film set up. and check out litra pro for hand held chimeras bi color, bright.

[@Obliviatora]

Perfect, thank you!

[@zoubtube]

Thanks for another great video. I point everyone I come across who has an interest in videography to your excellent premiere pro videos. hopefully it helps grow your subscribers numbers. I do have a question. I've been working on scuba footage which is challenging from a lighting and color editing perspective. If possible, I'm wondering if you would be willing to put together a video on editing scuba footage that shows tips and tricks when working with clips that require heavy color/noise reduction and sharpening editing. I can send you clips if you don't have any (most are small clips, 15 sec to a minute max). I (and many others) would love to see a pros workflow for this type of footage. thanks again for everything

[@kennlw5]

Dude you AWSOME

[@asfilmproduction1433]

Thank you for information thanks.

[@jasonius81]

Informative video, thank you!

[@050572robert]

you can record "ALL-I" on a SD card aswell as a CF card, not just the CF.

[@chinfat]

It depends on the speed of the SD card. At the time I did this video, those SD cards were very expensive. They've gone down since.

[@nabir2389]
