[@4nyclarry]

Purchased the M50 Mark II six months ago and new to photography with two mini courses under me. This video has opened my eyes and given me a real understanding of the camera's capabilities. Truthfully, until this video, i was unaware of how little I new about my wonderful camera. I can see the light now, no pun intended. Thank you for your time and for your excellent and clear teaching abilities.

[@MafijurRab]

I just received now my Canon M50 Mark II. I would like to become a Professional Photographer. This video will enhance my capability.

[@mahnitmac7070]

It's a year later and as a PhD student, I've been reviewing this small amounts at à time. (because of my intense class and study schedule). This video, coupled with your actual class that I purchased is outstanding. In my opinion, you literally surpass my college professors with your ability to teach. Your class was well worth the purchase. I'm still here reviewing, and it gets easier to understand. Thank you... thank you.

[@brunochamorra3338]

there are not enough likes in the world for this video. I have no words to describe the work done here. thank you so much. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Great to hear Jon. Thank you for joining.

[@gkgunn53]

The quality and effort of this video are fantastic. It is hard to believe it is KZbin free. Thank You,

[@jerryreynolds2383]

If you own a Canon M50, this is the best two hours you can spend! I have a good understanding of photography, learning it in the 70's with a "match meter" all manual Olympus OM-1. What your video did for me was to dissect the somewhat complicated/convoluted menu of the M50 so that I could better navigate the controls to achieve the results I desire. Thank you so much for that.

[@MikeB-sp6gp]

Michael. I gotta say this. I've been watching videos about the Canon M50 because I need to make vlogs for work. I'm at the 2:00 minute mark. If I don't make it past your 'throw the camera at the wall story' your video will have done me a huge service. The experts consistently offer great info. But they forget that these machines can be monstrously confusing and frustrating. Thank you for the empathy.

[@mokhtaramin4726]

I don't have any experience in photography but needed help to figure out the M50 and fortunate to have found this video. AMAZING. I have been watching it over and over and feel I gained months of mistakes and frustration. Thank you Thank you.

[@Savage1776_]

I just wanted to say 10 months ago I bought a Canon M50 and watched this video. All I had was the kit lens. I've been purchased a couple crop sensor lenses and went to town learning the exposure triangle. Fast forward 10 months and my M50 is gone. Replaced by an 80d for backup and Canon EOS R for my main camera. I'm now shooting on a 24-70 F2 8, 24 to 105 F4, 70-200 F2 .8, 85 1.8 and 35 1.4. I'm doing photography professionally now. I have a studio in my house. I've mastered Lightroom and am intermediate in Photoshop. I can do Basics like layers, masks and I'm now getting into doing composites. I work 8 hours a day and come home and study for 4. And then on the weekends just take hundreds of pictures and edit like crazy. I have a 4 light Studio setup 3 strobes for my house and one strobe to take on the road with me. I've got a series of softboxes and grids. I'm going to confess I got frustrated at times and it's a lot to learn. Well once you learn something nobody can ever take that away from you! I know this was kind of a long comment but I wanted to say thank you Michael for making tutorials like this because in the beginning when I was just learning the settings on my Canon M50 and knew nothing and I mean absolutely nothing about photography videos like this got me started and to where I am today. And I plan on continuing to grow every day for the rest of my photography career!!! Thank you again Michael

[@MMaven]

So great to hear from you Dion! What a story and congratulations on your hard work! U made my day

[@BrandonThomasOfficial]

This is awesome man.

[@jamesjudilla6812]

Bought M50 about three years ago. Put the camera aside, going on a trip again and found your presentation on you tube for a refresher course on how to use my M50. Thanks

[@rustyt2138]

This tutorial has been such a help for me as an owner of the M50 mark ii. Clear, concise, informative and inspirational. Thank you Michael.

[@BGWarrior66]

What a good job of explaining! The world is better and more beautiful due to people like you, Michael. Incredible help, not just for beginners!

[@DavidSwarthout]

Here's the thing: the manual that came with my M50, and with all other cameras I've owned, are virtually useless if you compare them to these videos. Michael, your channel is a superlative resource for learning how to use any of the cameras you've covered. Just today, I came back to this video to refresh my understanding of its tracking autofocus feature. So simple. Merely expand the Show More timestamp menu, pick the topic from the list and start watching. Absolutely top-notch in every respect. Keep up the great work!

[@MMaven]

Thank you David- very kind words

[@metalsilks2470]

So I am an hour and a half into this tutorial and it is by far the best I have seen! Thank you so much for creating this video! For years I have shot in AV mode and never felt like a "real" photographer...You helped change my mind. Thank you!

[@alanm.6096]

Just a note of thanks for the amount of time you put into this Micheal. When people ask me to recommend a specific camera, I always tell them to look at KZbin reviews. And in this case, watching this video sealed the deal for me. I did chuckle a bit, with all the focus being on a beginner camera - it really is beyond beginner, but Canon allows new users to keep things basic while you learn how to use all available features. Most reviewers will tell you Canon menus are logical and intuitive. It's so easy to jump between using my M50 and my 5D. My M50 is a travel camera...especially when I am with a group. Light and smaller, it's a joy to carry around. And the best part, is that Canon made the adaptor to allow usage of EF-s and EF lenses. I put that adaptor on and tested my 70-200 L lens and my 16-35L...and the output is simply excellent. Another lens to recommend is the 40mm F pancake - ultra thin and yet as crisp as the nifty 50 , 50/1.8. Now, if only the adaptor provided an added control ring to use as an aperture control (like Canon did with the R5/R6 adaptor).

[@jackblack4825]

WOW! You can be very proud of yourself Michael, your video is so well done. I've purchased the M50 Canon as a Xmas gift for my wife, your excellent video will be a must watch for her. Your video will keep me out of the dog house... if it was up to me to explain, that''s where I'd be. Your video is going to be a valuable knowledge base for her in broadening her photography skill. She's very KEEN and I'm waiting in anticipation to see the results of her work. A big thank you to you for your most informative and professional video and thanks to Canon for the M50. Job well done all round. From Australia...

[@AminaZalewska]

I bought mine second-hand, a few days ago; and it is my first camera ever. thank you for this tuto Michael

[@WavebeatsMusic]

one word: FANTASTIC! This video is soo good! I learnt a lot Michael! Thank you very much! I just subscribed to your channel and will recommend your videos to all my friends! I am a composer but just got a M50 and right now I am in love with Photography...specially macro photos. Greetings from Blue Mountains, Australia!

[@luiv5860]

Just received my m50 MK2 and boy was this a lot but I’m happy to have picked up on a lot of what you were teaching. This was definitely a intro class to say the least but I learned so much. Thank you for putting this information on KZbin for us beginners to learn! Cant wait to play with my camera and learn more about the craft of photography!

[@pennyinadiamondmine]

I've had this camera for over a year and want to cry a little because I didn't watch this video sooner. You are the real MVP.

[@MMaven]

Thank you

[@jessej175]

This is fantastic! I normally use my 80D and I purchased the M50 for blogging but still wanted to use this as a smaller backup camera. So rather then get frustrated I ran to your page to help me. Thank you for making me not regret getting the M50

[@marychan8245]

Thank you, Michael. I appreciated the clear concise delivery. You don't talk fast like those that appear hyper and rushed

[@carmenbramblett4588]

Really! a great job of explaining both camera concepts and the M50 specifically. I knew you were a pro when you pointed out that ISO was not part of exposure. Probably 90 plus percent of the lecturers on you tube put it in the "Exposure Triangle" where it doesn't belong. Also thanks for saying Iso instead of I-S-O. When I listen to people explain elements of photography and constantly call it I-S-O instead of one word "Iso", I immediately tune out everything else they are telling me. Also along the same line, you correctly noted that you are not changing the sensitivity of the sensor but rather noting that you are amplifying the signal the sensor provides. You obviously know your stuff. I encourage anyone who wants to learn photography to listen to your posts and take your courses if you offer any, Good job.

[@HotKooks]

Bought an M50 two years ago and have barely touched it. Your very first tip at 5:08 has me interested again. I am here for the next 2 hours

Michael, thanks for this awesome video!!! I was inclining to buy a used M50 from MPB in the UK, about £330, and your video persuaded me to take the plunge. I've ordered it and am looking at moving into the world of mirrorless cameras after wavering for a year or two.

Thanks to your video, I was able to take the lens apart, remove the piece of broken plastic, and put everything back together. The lens is now working again and was saved from ending in the trash! If this happens again, you can find a plastic ring replacement on eBay for $7.

This was super useful. I’ve bought the crash course, because I want more of this. Thank you so much for the work you’ve put into this.

A truly excellent and thorough drive through the all importants. Building it from the base was brilliant. It's rarely seen in this field where KZbin searchers are distracted by "Top 10 Hacks For Your M50" or whatever and we learn to flit around settings but not really getting INTO them. A couple of things, though: 1:47:17 - in Custom Functions, Release shutter w/o lens allows you to use a third party manual lens (such as my Kamlan 28mm f1.4) Great recommendations on tripods but for more out-and-about I have a Vanguard Veo A-264TR tri-foot monopod with a GH100 pistol grip ball head. Really steady, far more flexible than a tripod, smaller and lighter too. I either carry it in my hand or strap it with velcro to a rucksack. And maybe a footnote on the speedboosters. A distraction from the rest of this great video, perhaps, but they significantly add to the functionality of the camera and the lenses you work with. The EF 50mm f1.8 is a great example. The APS-C crop factor of x1.6 ordinarily gives you a full-frame equivalent of 80mm. The x0.71 speedbooster will bring that back to around 57mm but now you can also drop down to f1.2. I've yet to find a downside to using it

A great tutorial for the M50 I'm learning so much. Thank you for taking the time and posting the video. Great job.

Thank you for this video! You helped me out so much. This is my first camera and I knew absolutely nothing about photography prior to watching this.

[@sharosa305]

Great video. The crash training you mention is this in addition to this video, if so where is the links please

[@sharosa305]

oops I got it

Michael, thank you very much for this. Awesome tutorial bro...all the best to you.

Thank you for your honesty. I am totally new to using this camera mostly to make videos, So I know I have a little bit of a learning curve but with your help I will make it. You really made my life a lot easier. I just ordered my camera and your lessons are going to come into play real soon. Thank you

Surely this guy created the M50. This was so well explained. Thank you
