Question of the Day 💡What do you think of the Canon EOS R? Let us know! ****** Check Out the Canon EOS R RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Kit HERE ➡ canon.us/sean

Tell me, which camera was the footage taken from 11:20 onwards?

[@Ahmedpakido]

I'm also using Canon EOS R right now for my youtube and its great. i do have one complain about the in-body image stabilization which this camera doesn't have other then that its amazing.

[@SoJesusChristMusic]

Brilliant! I want to know more about filming in Log on the EOS R.

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

I’m currently using the Canon M50 for short form content and the Sony ZV-E10 for longer form content. Both are great in their own right.

[@busungu]

Your good

[@thejohnnylaw]

Both a great cameras, but a crop sensor. The Canon EOS R has a full-frame sensor which has many benefits over a crop sensor. ~John, Think Team

[@0104743]

@@thejohnnylaw What's the point of taking a full shot on a CANON R camera? CANON R shoots 4K video with a crop factor of 1.74 times. Let me remind you that the image will be even smaller than the crop matrix 1.6!

[@HeyyyHR]

I need Nolan &/or Omar to do more videos on how to adjust my camera settings in the Sony ZV1… I mistakenly recorded in high resolution & it became a HUGE file. Took up too much space on my camera, SD card & MacBook/iMovie. Plus, Cathrin Manning mentioned editing off the external drive instead of the hard drive. She said she didn’t know how to explain it. PLEASEEE do a video on that too I must admit, I loooove the way Sean is talking slow for us newbies! Lol much appreciated Y’all videos are soooo helpful!!!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for that feedback and the great ideas!

[@HeyyyHR]

@@ThinkMediaTV you’re so welcome! Much appreciated that you reply AND listen lol

Dude, this was such a great and easy to follow video. I picked up the Canon R with the RF 50mm 1.8 recently. Love how you broke everything down with the easy to shoot FPS and resolution.

One of the reasons why you would change the shutter is for motion blur it looks more natural when you Use 180° rule

I love Canon's colors right out of the gate, everyone always talks about Sony camera's these days. Tempted to get a new camera, but I just love the convenience of my phone.

Canon does have excellent color science! Totally agree with you! ~John, Think Team

[@ScottishVanTrips]

That was awesome Sean, I've got the EOS RP and I arrived here searching up how I can use it to replace my DJI Action cam to shoot my KZbin channel videos. I'm sure it would be much better quality.

[@pathofprophecy]

Sean, I just bought a used Canon M50 Mark II camera from a friend. I've upgraded because #1. The camera was available for a great price (it also included a FeiyuTech G6 Max Gimbal, a handheld/table gimbal; an extra lense; 5 batteries; a battery charger; a shadow cap for the lense; a Deity V-mic D4 Duo microphones (with the foam covers and the dead cat covers); a camera backpack bag; and a few other goodies. #2 The money came available from an annual continuing education/equipment upgrade allowance. #3. I rewarded myself for having achieved 500+ subscribers on my channel because I had been using my iPhone7 to get my channel off the ground. I just made a test video last night for the first time and my wife and two sons who saw it were very impressed.

[@dankoons5577]

thanks for the tips. I bought the R because of my Canon lenses. I was glad to view some positives about the R and someone who didn't speed talk ;)

I shot my first video on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and used the built-in mic, but for future videos I'm going to use my Canon 5D Mark III and Rode VideoMic Pro+ to try and step it up a gear. I'm still learning and experimenting though!

Hi, Sean! Thank you for these tips! Could I apply them on Canon EOS M50 camera? I am struggling with the focus of the camera while I practice and teach yoga in front of it. So, the camera focuses in the beginning , but after some time the view gets blurred. I assume it's because I move my body and something happens with the focus. I am preparing to start my yoga channel and this is my biggest issue now. Would you give me any tips on that? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you for the great channel and all the useful advice you and your team give us on how to start a KZbin channel! Blessings and good wishes, Elisa

[@TaraVon]

What are you filming in, 4K? I’ve noticed with the 4K on the Canon M50, often blurs in and out with the face tracking. Best to film in 1080 at 30fps.

Great video, SUPER helpful!! When you mentioned the 4k setting (and image stabilizer) crops the video more, what lens would you recommend so it's a wider shot? The 50mm? We shoot a lot in the vlog style, and it's a little too close to our faces, lol. We currently use the 24-mm to 105-mm lens and a mini hand tripod (when shooting in vlog style).
