[@simonepusceddu44]

In the canon 5d mark iv is it possible to set the metering timer of the exposure meter for more than 4 seconds as the default in shooting mode? In live view mode the limit is 30 minutes, but in viewfinder shooting mode after 4 seconds the meter stops measuring and the shooting data displayed in the viewfinder goes out ... Is there a solution?

[@mh7711]

The reason is that the r5 is so much better in every aspect than the eos mark3 and 4

[@necromancer___3054]

2022, still a relevant camera

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

Great video! Your reasons are laid out clearly and concisely as to why you like the 5DMkIV. I recently upgraded from the EOS 5D Mark II to the EOS R, and then to the EOS R5. There's definitely a difference in the feel between single lens reflex cameras and mirrorless cameras. And I must say, I prefer the feel of the former. Maybe I've just been using DSLRs for so long now, but they just feel more natural in the hand. There is a more direct connection between that shutter closing and your pressing the button. Mirrorless cameras, even the best ones, feel more like computers masquerading as cameras. That physical/mechanical connection between the camera and the user is lacking that DSLRs tanks like the 5DMkIV have.

[@KaiCreative]

Thank you 🙏 and thanks for sharing your experiences - I’m sure we’ll all adjust to the mirrorless as time goes by ... lucky you to have the R5 though - I’m very eager to try out the 8K video and see how easy it is to edit - my PC just about keeps up with 4K (:

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Been shooting with a 90D and getting great photos in RAW with L lens. Thinking of going full frame, better in low light and more coverage. Crop frame is great for extending that 300 mm L lens to about 480 mm. Nothing bad about a good crop-sensor.

[@mh7711]

For me my R5 feels so much more connected and direct to me, it is so much better in every single point than my 5dmk3, it is like 500% boost, makes so much more fun to work with it

[@EEEBA1]

So many options, almost too many. I'm currently trying to decide which route to go. Digital SLR or mirror less. I'm leaning toward the SLR at this point. Now which brand? Decisions decisions.

[@KaiCreative]

I’ve used my 5DMark IV for Corporate work, weddings, short films, promo videos, green screen work and have taken it with me when I’ve gone out travelling, on holidays and I use it to film KZbin videos. And I’ve only just got it serviced! It literally just keeps on going - It is still a serious competitor among the multitude of modern camera systems and is so versatile! Absolutely love it! Keen to see what Canon do with their EOS R5 but for now I'm sticking with my 5DMarkIV.

[@stevemurnan1702]

I traded my well kept 5DmkIV with 140k shutter actuations in a months ago for a 1DXmk3. After oil and debris kept on getting the sensor I sent it back for a new one. To cut a long story short I've had 4 1DXmk3's all with the same problem with visible marks on images at f6.3. The last one went back today and I've got a refund. Guess what? I bought a new 5DmkIV. I couldn't be happier.

[@churchillricardo2541]

I do wedding shoots, fashion portraits, ads, magazine shoots, celebrity shoots. Actually still its awesome camera. 5D mark iv

[@davidturchick23]

Great points, thanks for sharing. I have used Canon Rebel series in the past and just upgraded to the 5DMkIV, I'm on day 2 of using it so very early experiences but PHENOMENAL results. I've been watching various videos to help me learn more about this model and found this one. I too had some L glass and didn't want to start all over. I'm a novice with a good eye for wildlife and scenery shots. I have been taking stills of the birds here on the coast of SC, USA ... Herons, Egrets, Ospreys, etc. Using the 100 -400mm L IS II provides amazing detail and color.

[@buffalobob121]

Great video! I'm keeping my 5D Mark II for backup/secondary, even as I transition to the 5D Mark IV as my primary. Your video sealed my decision to buy the Mark IV, by the way. Thanks heaps.

[@chardonwaite]

Totally agree, I believe it's essential to have a photographic camera in your bag nowadays. For how low cost they can be yet ad so much value to your kit, they are worth every cent to have. Anything 20 megapixel onwards will kick ass.

[@TFtoysAddict]

I love my 5d4 and I still use it today in 2021. I been using it for the past 4 years (bought it back in 2017 and paid nearly full msrp price for it) Though yes it is somewhat old now but it still takes amazing images as long as you have the right glass. I also pair mine with the EOS-R for weddings. Though it be super nice to have the latest tech like the R5 but the price difference is huge for it to justify the price upgrade for a barely noticeable difference to a clients eye. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to the R5 when the price drops but for now until then I’ll continue to use my 5d4/eosR combo.

[@gautambhadra8684]

I am very happy with my 5D IV. Tempted for R5 but seen your honest analysis i shall continue with my old Canon 5D IV. Thanks for your useful posting.

[@KaiCreative]

Glad it was helpful! To be honest, I'm looking to get my hands on the R5 as soon as possible!! (:

[@timelesscreations777]

The 5D Mark 4 is a beast all day long. I can honestly say I believe in five more years from now it's still be a beast at the camera. Nothing's ever going to take away from how great it is. So whatever it doesn't record video in 8k! It's a Work Horse!

[@KaiCreative]

Yesss!! Like it’s predecessors i too believe it will still be highly sort after in 5 years - probably to a brand new generation of photographers and filmmakers. I don’t know what tech will exist then - but the Mark IV is so robust it will still be alive and kicking then 💪💪

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Kind of like those Rebels. They keep on giving.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

What even is the point of 8K recording lmao. Its just a flex at this point, technology hasnt caught up yet and pretty much everything isnt 4k already let alone 8k.

Still using my 5D4 for video works. I purchased all the things that needed to fill the gap in the video department. Atomos Ninja V for external recording and monitoring, shotgun mic and zoom H6 to address the audio. Overall I think it can still serve a couple of year in the video but tone more years in the stills side. I have to put on hold my pre-order of the Canon EoS R5 until such time they have fix for the overheating issue. Awesome vide By the way, thanks for sharing.

[@schildcl]

I simply love love this camera, it fulfills all my photography needs. A big plus is the choice of EF lenses. The new R-system might be the way to go but at this point I will not invest in a new lens system. I do understand with an adapter you can mount an L-lens to a R-body but this is not just the same. When the price of the 5D mark IV continue to drop I might consider buying a second body.

Absolutely, I totally agree.

[@tachiroakisu5128]

Great video! I have a 5d Mark 2 and a Leica Q mirrorless... while I really enjoy the mirrorless, I'm just still hooked on the SLR feel and satisfying "cahchunk" of the mirror. I also really still love looking directly through the glass when the camera is off something you can't get on mirrorless... I use my Mark 2 more than I do the Leica for these reasons. Nice to hear I'm not alone. May upgrade to the mark 4.

[@KaiCreative]

Nice to hear Tachiro Akisu (: I’ve recently been using my Mark IV alongside the EOS-R, for about 4 months and still feel more comfortable with the Mark 4 - probably down to using DSLRs for years - but I’m slowly transitioning over - eager to have a plat with the R5 (:

[@dipanka]

As a serious hobbyist for over 40 years it serves all my needs. Best all round camera for landscape, portraits, wildlife. Even birds in flight (albeit at 7fps but the autofocus system is amazing). The touch screen, B mode and timer combo is tailor made for long exposure photography. Also excellent for videography, unless you want 4K which is impractical except for short runs. Of course there are way better DSLRs for video, but as part of an all round package the 5DIV shines. Rugged, never had a problem shooting snowy owls in extreme weather in Canada at -25C in blizzard like conditions. Got wet by the spray in Niagara Falls and nothing happened! Same with extreme hot conditions and blowing sand in the Namib desert, no issues. Sits very stable in my hands. Gives me good shots in low light hand held without jacking up the ISO too much. Would not exchange it for a lighter camera. Finally, beats my Red Raven in low light videography. I've shot with just one candle with very decent results (the Red Gemini is the one for low light apparently, but cant afford it). No complaints! Its going to last me a few more years for sure.

[@KaiCreative]

Great informative video Kai, Thank you! I have heard so many bad reviews about the Canon 5D Mark IV, the 4K crop, the 4K file size comparing it to Sony etc. However, I am glad I never listened to that crap. In my opinion the 5D Mark IV is one of the best cameras out there, not saying that other camera makers are not as good, I am just a Canon user. I am a photographer first, however, I have taken an interest in video and the 5D Mark IV is the best fit for me. I actually bought it to photograph and video Italy in detail. I have actually thought about buying a second 5D Mark IV and store it when I burn this one out, that is how much I like it. I think at some point I might want C-LOG, you may have changed my mind to look into it. I will make a video called 10 Reasons Why I'm still using the Canon 5D Mark IV in 2025 :).

Thanks for your video! Now you make me feel better about my machine! :)))) I am a photographer and a happy owner of a Canon 5D mark iv since 2017, but I just realized recently that I really like making videos, however I hardly ever used this feature on mine. I do not want to invest into another camera again since this is perfect and I have a set of super L lens as well so I got a Ronin S and now I am trying to hook all this up together into a video station, so far so good! ...One thing to mention though, you gotta workout hard in the gym for this beast, because good quality tools get heavy! :)))

[@larichard5889]

I have tried many cameras - Sony, Leica, Nikon, Fuji and several Canon models including the new R series. The RF lenses are, for the most part awesome (awesome prices too!) but the camera can't keep up with the 5D Mark IV. Out of the many thousands of pictures I have taken the 5D Mark IV has produced more outstanding pictures than the rest. Paired with classic EF L glass - in the "crunch" when speed, focus, light and clarity need to combine to create art the 5D comes through! If you have time to set up, plan, use a tripod , get the best light , experiment with lenses and shots - good photographers can make great pictures with many cameras. But in the crunch - in funky weather, or when you can't ever get "that" shot again.....give me the tank. Yes, your mileage may vary, but make sure you've tried one before you doubt...….

[@KaiCreative]

Love it! Especially “In a crunch” 🤩🤩🤩 I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a tricky situation at an event or wedding and the Mark IV just rides though it 👏👏👏

I'm new to photography and videography. I had hired a camera person to shoot my projects (shorts and feature film) in the past. However, I am in the market now and deciding between a Panasonic GH5s, Sony A7 III and this camera. I was leaning towards the GH5s but now after seeing this video, I am rethinking my options. That you, Kai. Kai is my son's middle name. Maybe that's a sign to go with the Mark IV.

[@KaiCreative]

Hey JJ 😊 the GH5s is a great camera 👌 the thing I like about the 5Dmark IV more than anything is it’s robustness - how it just keeps on going even in tough shooting conditions - which makes it great as a workhorse camera - and the Clog is not too bad - I know some people love the Sony colours over canon though - they are amazing 😉 especially for short films - not that the Canon colour is bad at all 👌

Hey Kai, I’ve actually been a little interested in getting into videography. I was wondering what setting you use for your 5D mk4 (I also have this camera) because it seems like whenever I take a video and import it onto my laptop, the quality goes all the way down to a 480p.

[@fullandstarving]

Me too, i guess 5D mark IV can use at least 3-4 years ahead. 30MP are more than enough for almost every needs. (For some reason i shoot for billboard too) I shoot for commercial production, it feels like tank, the battery, body, autofocus very quick and reliable. All around camera, i take a second hand for only 2000 bucks, shutter count only 1800. Very big deal, feels new and fresh!

Which he got and started filming bits and pieces. A few years later he has his own production company called ‘Blake Ridder’ and millions of views on KZbin from his short-films.

Great video Kai with some fantastic reasons. Ive been thinking for a while about upgrading my camera and have been looking at the 5D mark 4 and the EOS R. I think what swings it for me is the ability to use the lenses for both cameras on the EOS R, and probably more importantly the weight reduction with the EOS R. With the release EOS R5 the price of the R hopefully drop. Whit all that said that 5D iv is a fantastic camera🤔

There's a huge gap between what you photograph to what you getting when you starting to edit the RAW files. I'm using lens form Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary.

[@sunnydaysmedia4170]

Hello Kai, that's a very informative video right there. Thank you!!! I just got my Mark IV today, so there's no better time your video could have come in handy. I'll like to ask though, what camera you shot this video with????

[@KaiCreative]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏 this video was shot on the 5DMarkIV in 4K 👌

[@technologyknowledgekh9340]

Thank you

[@NomadOutdoorAdventures]

I am still using the Canon 5D Mark 4 today I only got it two years ago

[@RudyVisuals]

Awesome vid Kai! We love the 5d Mark IV! Never actually owned one but regularly use one at the photo school and studio we use. It's still such a work horse of a camera. What are your thoughts on the upcoming r5 btw??

[@KaiCreative]

Rudy! What’s up man? Hope You’re keeping well! Yep love my Mark 4! Definitely interested in the R5 - literally bought the R last week as I heard there is a delay to the R5 - but hoping to get my hands on one as soon as possible! What you thinking 🤔

[@marcuscaruana6772]

I have 2 friends for life...5DM3 and 5DM4. There's no way I'm going to move away if I will be constricted to use an adopter for my glass!

[@KaiCreative]

Shame that they don't seem to be moving forward with the 5DMarkIV :( There is definitely a market for it - so it seems 🤔

[@churchillricardo2541]

Now 2024. Still i use 5D mark iv. Because its awesome camera. I have Canon mark ii, mark iii, mark iv. My lens collections - 16-35 (2.8), 24-70 (2.8) , 50mm (1.2), 70-200 (2.8) , 85mm (1.2).

Truly a man of taste and collector or fine artefacts 📸

[@robertwhitemoto]

Yep... keeping my 5DiV ... Love it.

[@KaiCreative]

It’s such a beast 🥳🥳🥳

i just recently got a 5d4 2021 ill switch to mirrorless when they age more.

[@herrysyu2585]

Chinese fan here😄 Great introduction👍👍👍

[@franksalz9471]

for me, the best one in the market.... stabil.... no problem tool..... a perfect combination for foto and video... with good lenses a perfect tool......

[@TxStateBeta57]

Can you dual record video on both card slots (redundantly) on the Canon 5DM3 or M4? Thank you!

[@dennusbaum7210]

Kai, well don't, I have been using the Canon Mark 5 IV for over 3 years and is a workhorse. Like you I waiting for the R-5. With the current price of around $2000 for the Canon Mark, 5 IV I may just pick one up for a backup.

[@sclogse1]

One pixel goes out and there goes your video. Lucky to be able to sell my Mark II Buying used, by the, one can never tell how much video was shot on a Canon. Only stills.

[@josephschmeggins6311]

Just bought one. The R with the grip didn’t feel right after shooting Canon’s DSLR’s for years. Tiny camera, huge grip. The 5D4 is perfect and has more capabilities than I’ll ever need. It’s a tool. Give the latest and greatest to a hack and you’ll get crap. Give a budget camera to someone with knowledge and you’ll get great shots.

[@SuperDigitalMe]

wow that 1080p is very good

[@exposure2297]

Does the 5D mk4 have a remote input for a shutter release intervalometer ?

[@alloneword154]

It is it better than a C-300 mk i?

[@qtben17]

I still have it, i use it more for photos as its imagery is really beautiful. For videography, it was a let down esp for a $3300 camera (bought 2016). 1080hd/60fps is fine. Slowmo and 4k are useleas. But hey, canon colors are always on point.

[@KaiCreative]

I’m finding the 4K only really useable in controlled conditions - like sitting down and vlogging - I attempted to film a short film in 4K and went back to 1080p because of focus issues ...

[@FlatWaterFilms]

4k is such an energy haug. I just use 1080/ 30.

[@bob-hw3qc]

Really like the detail in this one, I knew most of the points already. Still weighing up whether the C-LOG is worth it or just using the neutral picture setting?

[@KaiCreative]

C-LOG definitely increases the dynamic range you can see it when you use the scopes in PP. Would def recommend!

[@DrRussell]

Massive DR increase; no comparison and well worth it. More important given the 8bit codec

[@papje]

Is that c-log only for film?

[@FlatWaterFilms]

About FF vs Crop, in sunny conditions my 90D with an L lens shooting RAW, takes amazing pictures.

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Sold it, been using the 5D IV. 😊

[@forsterl.stewart414]

5d miv is a true photographers camera. Designed for stills this beast utilizes the digic6 + sensor the same as the canon 1dx mii so low light capability is good. As a matter of fact DXO Mark gave it a score of 91 that's the best rating given to canon sensor at that time. All auto ffocus points work at f8. So many telephoto and even pro grade supertelephoto lens work with the 1.4x miii and 2x miii tele extenders at all a.f. points and at 7 f.p.s. shooting speeds it handles moving subjects quite well. Ergonomics are great as with most Canon cameras. If your looking for pro grade high quality video capability I think this camera is not the camera for you. Canon makes cinematic cameras which are more capable than this body. But if you're like me a photographer who doesn't shoot or need a video camera except rare occasions but needs a fantastic camera body camera for stills than this is a great choice.

[@johnnjoroge6742]

How much can I get for Canon 5d Mark iv

[@LennyCooke636]

Compare the 5D IV with the original 5D which cost about the same, but was more like a "digital brownie" when it came to features...

[@buonaseba]

It is so cool video!!! I am also using Canon 5d mark4 haha

[@KaiCreative]

Hello! Thanks for your kind words 🙏 대단히 감사합니다 hope that you are creating some amazing stuff with it!

[@emmakoyuconvydancer6263]

How much is the price please

[@francisjtuk]

I love the 5dmk4. I could never understand why everyone was getting hysterical about its crap 4K. I mainly do corporate films and I think it gives a great 1080 image. Customers are happy. The af tracking is great. Not that mad about clog on 8 bit but I guess it’s nice to have the option.

[@KaiCreative]

Same here - used it for corporate and wedding videos all at 1080p - been using the 4K more for KZbin videos and actually can work around it just fine (: and actually it’s not that bad either 😊

[@UltravioletFilms]

@@KaiCreative yep the 4k looks decent enough but honestly that format motion jpeg was a bit of a silly choice. A clear attempt to avoid messing with their cinema range.

[@qtben17]

5dm4 is also my first choice for corporate videos or interview style whose clients are specific with great skin tones. That is the money look! More creative or cinematic style i tend to use my a73. Different jobs, different tools

awesome video

[@KaiCreative]

Thanks Trap! Much appreciated!

[@xxWQND3R3Rxx]

One day I’ll be able to get one, one day. 😅

[@360dereceaz]

Amen for both of us )

[@aimhighdontmiss4260]

I'm not sure whether to get this or the EOS-R? Which one would you recommend I get mainly for video?

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Get a video camera.

[@johnleal8276]

I have the zhiyun crane 2 and I use the mark iv. Since it's so heavy it is difficult to balance and has a shaking effect. I noticed you use the ronin 2. How is it with the mark iv and is there anything I can do to help with the balance on my gimbal?

[@KaiCreative]

Hi John 👋 thanks for the question. Not sure what the Zhiyun spec sheet says about max weight - you might want to double check? The Ronin-S spec sheet allows for the 5DMARKIV and kit lens to be mounted. And I’ve used that set up for a whole day of filming with no real issues. But it’s still heavy! It’s literally the max weight that the Ronin-s can handle and it does struggle a little if it hasn’t been balanced properly! If you get the balancing right you can do all the modes properly including the 360 inception spin. 👍

[@johnleal8276]

@@KaiCreative Gotcha. Missed the notification. Thanks for the response!

[@phill5917]

Right now I use a Canon 6D but soon I want to upgrade to this camera but its soo expensive lol.

[@CaliDreamz]

What's a good gimbal up buy for the 5d Mark iv? I own a old school 7d but I'm about to buy the mark 4 for music videos. My work is mainly on music videos. I just purchased the 24-70mm 2.8 ii lens and manfrotto 502 fluid head flat base tripod. So I'm preparing to make the change for the 5d Mark 4 and looking into gimbals. I see you are using them in your video here. Please I will appreciate your feedback? Great video by the way. I respect your input.. Great work too

[@KaiCreative]

Thanks Cali 🙏 so I’m using the RoninS gimbal with the 5DmarkIV and 24-105mm set up. I think that is the max weight that the RoninS can handle before it starts beeping. I’ve used that set up for corporate and weddings and it’s been fantastic - the Ronin battery lasts all day long but my arms and back start to burn by the end of the day 😮😂😅

[@CaliDreamz]

@@KaiCreative thank you for the reply. I came across your channel while looking up research and reviews on which way to go next with a camera and gimbal. Even though the infamous mirror less Canon R6 and R5 just came out I'm still considering going with the 5d Mark iv.

[@francisjtuk]

If you have dslr like 5dmkiii and mkiv will you need to change all lenses if we go in with the new r5 or r6 ?

[@KaiCreative]

You will need an adapter - similar to the EOS-R (:
