Canon R5 Tutorial & R6 Tutorial Training Overview - Free Users Guide

[@RickyBatista]

This might be the best tutorial about any camera on KZbin. Bravo kind sir

[@MMaven]

Wow, thanks!

[@R0dan]

Absolutely awesome! Just got my first mirrorless camera (R6) and this is very helpful. Canon user for 40 years and mirrorless is a whole new ballgame.

[@wellsyboy]

These are far and away the best tutorials on You tube - patient voice, perfect pace, completely unrushed makes everything really easy to digest - A+++++ AWESOME!

[@Andrea-Rae]

This tutorial is outstanding and I really appreciate Michael's approach. I am an advanced beginner who understands basic photography but the R5 I just purchased is my first full-frame. This video was perfect for introducing me to all of the advanced features of this incredible camera and letting me know all of the areas where I need to learn more. I feel much more confident shooting with it now and I took pages of notes on features I want to explore in greater detail. I especially liked the section that walked thru the deep menus. Thanks to Michael for acknowledging that not all R5 owners are Pros...yet :) I look forward to using more of his videos on my journey.

[@jonathantc08]

“Advanced beginner” hahaha that’s a new one.

[@grren4309]

@@jonathantc08 still you know what they meant. Not exactly beginner, but still far away from pro.

[@meech524]

This is awesome. You are an awesome instructor. I love that you don’t rush and you explain the functions throughly as though it’s your every day language. No tricks or humor. Just straight to the point. I really appreciate that. I hope canon is paying you well because you truly deserve it. Thank you very much.

[@MMaven]

Thank you so much

[@walkersunited332]

Bless this man for making these type of tutorials. He has helped so many begginers.

[@msjenkins]

This video is amazing and by far, the most comprehensive that I have watched. I appreciate you for taking the time. The irony of it all is that I am in fact, a novice and have opted to purchase an R5 to learn on. My logic behind doing this is I expect to use this camera for years to come. I do not want to keep buying a new camera every single time that I have a need for functionality that isn’t available on entry level cameras. The learning curve will be great, but to me it was a worthwhile investment. Again, thank you so much for making this tutorial.

[@edenconnell4322]

I have been a Professional Photographer for over 10 years and your videos are so clear and precise. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. With the new cameras I have both the R5 and R6 this video is extremely helpful, so much new technology to learn. Keep sharing and inspiring. Thank you Michael !!

[@MMaven]

Thank you so much Eden!

[@jackdavis2778]

Michael, With the R5 being a new camera that is still being released in small amounts (I ordered on the release date and received it in October) I was surprised to fund such a detailed course. I wish to express my gratitude for this video. I found it to be extremely detailed and very helpful. I have found myself going back and reviewing different parts of the session more than a few times. Thanks again!

[@JordanCait]

I just purchased my R5 and I have been reviewing many online tutorials. Michael, your tutorial is by far the BEST one I have found. By videoing the back of the camera (instead of capturing the HDMI output), I can really see which buttons you are pushing etc. Your detailed index to your KZbin video makes it very easy to find specific topics. Thank you so much for creating and publishing this video!

[@snappyinc6297]

I pretty well know my way around the Canon menu but as a user of the 1DX I found the transition to the R5 very much easier after watching your video. You are a natural teacher, and I'm so impressed with what you have achieved here. Walking me through each of the menu options was far easier than ploughing my way through the 900 page manual. So I'm up and running with the new camera a lot faster than expected. Keep up the good work; this is by far the best training video I've seen in a long time. Not a problem to watch stuff I already know about exposure and aperture priority - you explain it so well It was a pleasure to watch. Ten out of ten for you.... and very many thanks.

[@MMaven]

Thank you so much for writing. I really appreciated it- Best wishes!

[@eoslove2022]

This training overview and the downloaded user's manual has blunted many of the frustrations of comprehended the features of this complex camera. Thank you!

[@V8-friendly]

Absolutely amazing. I finally could afford a R5 in 06/2024. Read the whole Canon manual (1,000 pages), but still learnt some very handy settings here! Highly recommend! 👍👍👍 💯 Best is to have the camera right next to you when watching this 3hrs long video and follow along. 📷

[@colleenskazalski8474]

This is the best tutorial for the Canon R5 I have seen on KZbin. Thank you very much!

[@hom296]

The best tutorial on how to set up your R6/R5 camera...ever!!

[@CrankyClara]

Since I enjoy taking of photos (not selfies), Santa got me the R6 this year, which is great except I have NO IDEA how to use it! I've been using mostly my cell phones (and occasional point and click cameras) for photos and videos so I feel completely overwhelmed by a real camera. Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I'm now looking forward to experimenting with all the features and pursuing (and is better equipped) to pursue photography as a real hobby.

[@billantonacci4441]

Hi Mike. I recently bought this camera . I have been looking for a video that would go thru the entire menu. This video is just flat out terrific. Thank you so very much.

[@stephaniesabourin3248]

Finally another left eye dominant shooter!

[@georgestiros4392]

Thank you....great video,,,,new to Canon R5. Had a Sony 7 R and stopped working. The piece of art is in my hands and in one day....yes fell in love with camera and the pictures ....thank you for your help

[@tobization]

Love my 6D but I made the jump to an R5. Michael, you do a fantastic job breaking things down so that they make sense - huge thanks for that.

[@Vincenade]

Jsut great!!! i recently purchased R6, and watching this 3hrs tuto allows me to go through all features of the camera at a glance. Sooo useful! many thanks for that! an incredible add-ins to Canon 800 pages manual

[@walk_and_film2022]

Brilliant tutorial … simple … but also technical … to cater for all levels of experience

[@geoffreywarrener9441]

Back to Canon after years with Nikon - your great informative tutorial makes me glad I made the change

[@samuelhodges6471]

Thank you for explaining metering. I keep mind set to 30 seconds because I was told to. But had no idea what its use was for. Now I know.

[@efrawley55]

boy did you nail the concept about beginning people who can afford it buying this camera. Very smart

[@curtisbeckett4764]

Thank you for a very professional video. very well done. You make thing easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to product this and others.

[@desabrahams5007]

I would like to be notified when the Canon R5 Crash Course is available. Great work and I love the great detail that you put into your courses.

[@flightscapeaviationphoto]

MTM is, IMO, the best out there at what he does. Great "educator" and keeps his followers informed.

[@srig4963]

Michael, you rock. This is the best video I have seen that explains the controls and number of ways to get into them and tweak. you added a lot of structure and order for the long three hour video. I was little hesitant when I saw three hours but when I started seeing I never realized how the time flew by. Thanks a bunch for a structured break down. I am sure you would have spent quite a bit of time to build this before you finally explained. Thanks once again.

[@JoeDillingham]

It's worth mentioning that picture style also affects the preview of a RAW capture. At least, it used to on older cameras. I like to set the picture style to a super neutral setting with low contrast so I get a better idea if I've nailed the RAW capture or not, or if it's something I'm going to be able to save in post or not. That said, this video is fantastic. Thank you for it.

[@RickLincoln]

An amazing amount of pertinent information delivered with the precision of an advanced Toastmaster or one with media training. I'm a long time shooter coming from a 5D3 and am seeking to become familiar with my new R5 before it arrives. Your video is a gift. You put a tremendous amount of time, thought and planning for this. Thank you!

[@MMaven]

Thank you so much Rick! So glad you found it useful

[@joeblacke99]

Good stuff. One thing about auto lighting optimizer is that when shooting RAW with turned on and editing with Canon DPP, the software will try to auto tune the exposure values. It’s not exclusive to jpegs. The same type of things when you turn on noise reduction or lens correction in the camera menu and using DPP with RAW images.

[@grjlynch]

OMG thank you so much for doing this. I retired in December and now (like everyone else in the UK) I am in lockdown. So I thought I would FINALY invest some time to learn how to use my 5D MK IV properly and then I thought, if i am going to invest time, why don’t I do it with a new camera? So you are to thank for my new R5 and having now invested the 3 hours, teaching me, not only how to set up my new camera, but teaching me things about photography that I never knew before. So thank you once again. I just need to go and practice and then come back and do your crash course. Take care and stay safe!

[@buguw]

Thanks for this video. It saves my time to read the manual. I used Canon from 1990s, bought 8 EOS bodies, and my first DSLR is Canon D60. But R6 is much different to my other DSLRs. This video is very helpful.

[@SuperPrufrock]

An absolutely wonderful, detailed, comprehensive training video. Thanks for producing this. Having invested a whole 3 hours I need to review it again to learn what I missed the first time round. The only improvement, if I may suggest, is to index the content so that we desciples can look up time indexed content when we ned to without scrolling all the way through. Nonetheless this is an outstanding contribution to the learning & understanding of the R5 community. Thanks again.

[@MMaven]

Thank you David- there is an index in the description- best wishes

[@SuperPrufrock]

@@MMaven Thanks

[@kelb89]

This is an amazing overview, especially for beginners.

Michael, this is a phenomenal tutorial - clear, concise, detailed and really easy to follow. You didn't lose my attention once, three hours have flown by! Just brilliant!! Thank you so SO much.

Thank you Ian!

[@basilbcf]

My R5 just arrived today - this is perfect! Can't wait to pop those Maven filters on my new beast.

[@stevelongman3174]

wow what a great video, recently upgraded my canon 80d to an r5, world of difference in the controls and menu settings, only crit i have is there's not enough or clear enough on how to set up the joystick to enable AF shift, i got that info from another you tube clip, will watch the rest of this video to see how i can set up back button focus

[@tylerdoestech]

Excellent work, Michael! Also, who else provides 3 HOURS of video tutorial for free on KZbin for a specific camera's features?!?! I will be excited to see a review and comparison of this camera from you in coming weeks, hopefully!

Its coming but will probably take some time.Thank you for your support Tyler!

[@lindarenaud4245]

I may have missed it, but in order to see all 8 tabs in the Shoot menu, for example, you have to be in M-manual mode. You will only see 4 if you are in A+ which I was.

[@nevermind2407]

Went from 5D Mk1 to R6 and did a Jeremy Clarkson... "How hard can it be?".. Bloody Nora this camera is massive in features and options. I need to breath in a paperbag... Thanks for this "overview". I think I am going for the full course though!

[@marywaller7037]

I would like to be notified when the Canon R5 crash course is available please.I bought your tutorials for the Canon mark iv,which helped a lot as I liked the simplicity that your tutorials give.Still waiting for my Canon R5 to arrive,and even though I have some experience with the mark iv tutorials,its always best to start again with a new camera.Cheers keep up the good work.

[@gunnarkarl5039]

Thanks for this tutorial, it was very useful, greetings Gunnar

[@petertrahan9785]

When you compared low ISO to high ISO at 56:40 you were actually comparing fast shutter speed to slow shutter speed. The graininess that you were seeing in your image was a result of collecting less light due to a faster shutter speed, not the higher ISO. You can prove this by taking those same two pictures at the same shutter speed with high and low ISO and then exposure matching them in post. The image taken with the higher ISO will have less grain. The grain is noise and is caused by not collecting enough light.

[@drfg2008]

👍 thx! Best I could find on KZbin - by far best

[@briankennedy9439]

Thanks Michael for a great video on the R5. Waiting for mine to arrive and appreciate that I can get a head start on it.

[@Betheball1966]

Still referring to this 6months later. Awesome. Thank you

[@dcurleyifa]

Thanks for this video very comprehensive and useful. I am amazed that the Eye focus works so well that when I pointed R5 at my iPad with your vid /face it locked on to your eye on your screen, fantastic to be that accurate with eye recognition .

[@Rajeshshetty1970]

Superb video this is really helpful Thanks for the Hardwork and effort for creating this video

[@anadelman]

I just started watching your video. It seems well done. I hope to have some positive reviews for you. As a technical note, when you do your conversion from bits to bytes, don't use 8. Use 10. Yes, there are 8 bits to a byte. But there are also 1 start bit and 1 stop bit, resulting in 10 total bits per byte.

[@josephwanyoike3566]

Thank you for this! I have been looking for a detailed view of the features that compiles basic photography with camera capabilities. You nailed it. I will be subscribing and marking this as I become comfortable with my new EOS R6 (can't wait for it to arrive!!!!) I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into this tutorial.

[@reginabarker6959]

Thank you, I’m an intermediate who learned a ton from you. I’m loving the r5 and looking forward to the increased mp, eye autofocus, and the arrival of my ef to rf adapter. Thank you: you are very knowledgeable but also easy to understand. (I am moving from the 5d mkiii)

[@Eddie303]

Even I am planning on getting the R6 but was undecided between that and the Sony A7Riii because the Sony has practically double the battery life and supposedly performs better in low light conditions and then there is the megapixels count

[@hom296]

What an amazing tutorial! And I don't even have the camera. Thinking about it though. Well done Michael!

[@JamesLima]

Amazing video, thank you so much! I like using the aspect radio (4:3 for Instagram feed), it doesn't crop the RAW image, it just limits the viewfinder, and you can always use the full image in post. Cheers from Brazil!

[@TC_Conner]

At 27:00 in you switched to the quick view screen. How do you birng that screen up? I have the EOS R5 and can't seem to get that black quick menu screen to show.

[@Todd10260]

Please do this for the R6 if you get one!

[@diepenj47]

Todd, I just finished all three hours of this great video and followed along with my R6. There are a few differences between the R5 & R6 but i would say this video is 95% accurate for either camera.

[@travispatenaude9139]

Thank you for the great explanation of the AF but mainly on the face and eye recognition.

[@smbehindyou]

Really good info sir. Thanks a lot

[@barbaraharrison3847]

Thanks so much for doing this. I am up to the exposure part of the tutorial, about 43:28. I own a Canon EOS 6D, but the R5 is more complicated. I would have appreciated that as you went through the different aspects with the sub menus, etc that you would have said the name of the button(s) that you were using to get to what you were explaining. I was having trouble following. I couldn't quite see how your fingers moved. This was a little too fast for me. I did have my camera out and was trying it out as you spoke in order to get it into my fingers and brain. Yes, I am overwhelmed and know that I will learn by doing, but still it would have helped if you said the name of the button as you pressed or spun the wheel.

[@MMaven]

The only button that I am touching on top of the camera during the exposure lesson is the rotating wheel that goes from side to side you should still be able to see my finger on it in the video I was very careful to make sure it was still in the frame

[@adrianbattersby9584]

Please let me know as soon as your R5 crash course is available - I’m finding this one very good but would appreciate the full detail. Would suggest get it out urgently or all the pre-order people like me will have already learned from elsewhere - maybe even the 900+ page manual although in most cases I doubt it !!! :-)

[@MMaven]

Thank you so much -We have many lessons that will not be found in the manual about Real Life shooting, We should finish this week

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Michael, what a fantastic tutorial. You are a master of your subject. Question: Often when doing landscape photography using a tripod we are told to switch - off our Image Stabilization so that the (IS) does not take a nervous - breakdown. So, does this still apply to the new Canon R5 Mirrorless ???

[@andresbohorquez2524]

Incredible R5 detailed overview THANK YOUUUUUU

[@hefnhef1]

Thank you, this is an amazing free resource and I greatly appreciate it.

[@lang5264]

At 32:28 in the video you switched from the info screen to liveview what button did you press to do so? I shoot the 5D4 currently and it has a button on the back to toggle between the two but canon has removed that button on the r5. Thanks so much I hope you can give me some advice.
