Canon 70D Settings for High Quality DSLR Video

[@Artisancakecompany]

I just pulled my camera out of the box for the first time. Never used a canon and this video was so helpful not only for me to understand what settings to use but it helped me familiarize myself with the functions the camera offers. Thanks so much :)

[@RayOrtega]

+Artisan Cake Company that's great! Thanks for the kind feedback and congrats on the new cam, have fun!

[@prolifikproductionz610]

+Ray Ortega please help me can't decide on what camera to go with the nikon d7100 or the canon 70d I do still images like baby pics portraits sports and wild life well as music videos so half n half I'd say but can't decide I'm also a fan of the touch screen and the nikon doesn't offer that please help!!!!

[@d-techneekzmusic331]

@@RayOrtega Question what video editing program would recommend for editing music videos? I’m real considering getting this as my first entry camera 📷

[@RayOrtega]

@@d-techneekzmusic331 I use Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. Either will do the job just fine and I think you can look into DaVinci Resolve for free.

[@HouseMadeUS]

This tutorial taught me more than 4 years in photographs school. (Slight exaggeration!) but...wow man this really helped me out. I’ve owned this 70D for a couple years and I could not get my videos to be ‘crisp’ my problem was not using manual mode. I had it in program!! Anyhow, I appreciate it. Game changer for me. Thanks again.

[@RayOrtega]

Wow thanks for the huge compliment! I'm excited that this video helped so much and it's great to hear you are now getting the results you want from the 70D. Enjoy!

[@cartercooperpa]

I adjusted these settings in Manual mode, then saved as Custom. Now when I want to shoot video, I just turn the dial to "C." Great information, clearly presented. Thank you.

[@RayOrtega]

+Carter Cooper cool, I didn't explore the C mode. Good tip.

[@penningtonimages5018]

I just want to say how nice it is that you respond to comments on a 5-year-old video. A lot of KZbinrs don't respond if their videos are more than a couple months old. Keep up the good work!

[@alegriamedia1067]

Great tutorial Ray. I've had two 70D cameras for my business for about a year now. Very happy with them.

[@SKYNETSTUDIO]

Hey Ray ! I know that this tutorial is about to reach 6 years, but I guess you'll be happy to know that is still help a lot ! Thx a lot for that !

[@DJChuckT]

OK. Best video that I've seen so far. Im pretty new to video and photography and this was simple and didn't give me a million different opinions, variables, and options to confuse me.....lol. Good job!

[@RayOrtega]

+DJ Chuck T thanks Chuck!

[@jarotdasaputranto3189]

+Ray Ortega Great videos about the 70D, probably the last great 1080p DSLR. I noticed this video and the 70D review video to be a little out of focus (it was focused on your ears instead), are u using another 70D to record it? U might have some AF focusing issues.

[@RayOrtega]

+Jarot Dasaputranto thanks. No the video was shot on a 60D, no AF. Once in awhile my old Sigma misses focus and that's what happened here. I had to just roll with it because it was shot awhile back and the rest is sharp. I just picked up a monitor so the hope is the next time the AF (non continuous) misses it mark, I'll know ahead time;) Thanks for watching!

[@riorrdanmurray9071]

+DJ Chuck T so what the best video I can get is it like 1080p

[@RayOrtega]

+Fuzzy Productions 1080p, yes.

[@myrayusuf795]

Thanks to you I got out my camera from my bag after eons. I initially bought it for real estate photos and videos but gave up taking a short cut with my phone. Unfortunately once the images from the phone are blown up, they don't look so great. This video has given me the confidence to play around with the settings and try again

[@Sapphiresoul2]

Thanks Ray, I've had my 70D since November of 2015 and i'm finally starting to use manual settings when shooting video, I also picked up a EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, the video looks pretty overkill now!, thanks for the tips!, now I can finally attempt to make "Cinematic" skits and stories.

[@PodcastersRoundtable]

Cool, good luck and have fun!

[@TheNewTravel]

Hey RagingForLife, I just bought a 70D for travel videos. Do you like your lens? Would you recommend it as a solid upgrade for vlogging in city streets with people and some nature / sight-seeing? Thanks

[@diazgzzreyes]

Hi, have you had any problem using your 70d with video? I've head about an error 80 that I'm a little worry about

[@substancemediawithjudy5496]

Ray, thank you for this video. I had never used anything more than a very simple automatic camera when I decided that I wanted to start my own KZbin channel. I bought the Canon 70D and learned to use it by watching this video multiple times. I really appreciate the way you presented the camera in this video. As a beginner, I was able to follow along and copy what you did and as a result I have produced several videos. Thanks for the help!

[@RayOrtega]

That's great, Judy! Thanks for letting me know and congrats on getting your channel started.

[@Texastigerdigsdetects]

By far the best explanation I have seen on setting the 70D... Great Job!!

[@RayOrtega]

+TexasTigerDigs thanks!

[@jamzpari4939]

I must say this is by far the most helpful video I've come across on KZbin based on its simplicity. Thanks a lot

[@RayOrtega]

+Jamz Pari thanks Jamz!

[@skakdosmer]

Great video! I just bought a 70d, so this is just what I needed. Thanks a lot.

[@eutestei]

Hi Ray, many thanks. I searched many videos on YT about video setup of the 70D, and this video was the best, with the best explanations. So many thanks for helping me.

[@RayOrtega]

+EuTestei thanks so much for the feedback and for watching!

[@rattykulture7655]

Thanks!

[@abdulbasith7366]

Hey, in 0.44 , can you tell me how you got to that screen , i couldn't find it on menu😅. New to the dslr and still learning😊

[@RayOrtega]

That's the Quick menu which you can get to using the Q button on the back of the camera. Enjoy the cam!

[@DenisseMakeupLover]

Most helpful video ive watched so far on the canon 70d !! Good job 👍🏽

[@RayOrtega]

Awesome, thanks, Denisse!

[@theangrybass3389]

Ray is the best when it comes to Canon tutorials. Thanks to him, I’m shooting great vids with my 60D

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks! I still have my 60D, I think it's probably gone soft, perhaps just needs a cleaning but I look forward to new Canon's and new video walkthroughs, looks like there's a 90D coming! ;) Have fun!

[@StyleByZaza]

Thanks so much for great explanation! Adding this video to my favorites. I should receive my camera in couple of days - - can't wait! I've been using my t5i for the last 2+ years. By the way, your audio is awesome!

[@RayOrtega]

+StyleByZaza Thanks. Audio is a huge part that most miss. There are lots of ways to get great audio. In this video I was using a wireless lav which has been my best investment to date but there are more affordable ways to go too. Enjoy the new cam!

[@StyleByZaza]

Ray Ortega Unfortunately, I can't wear a wireless lav because of my hair. I tried it but my hair keeps hitting it. ;) So for now, I'll stick to my Rode VideoMic Pro.

[@RayOrtega]

+StyleByZaza yeah I checked out your videos and saw the VMP and the audio sounds good. You might be able to point it up, more at your mouth and try to make sure it's not right over the top of something like your computer so that it won't pick up fan noise as easily. The VMP is great. With lav mics, you can also place them under your shirt which would avoid your hair and makes it so people don't see the mic which is how they handle it in Hollywood.

[@StyleByZaza]

Thank you so much for the tip Ray. I will definitely change the position of the mic. It's been bugging me because I control everything with EOS Utility and once I hit the record button, the fan kicks in and it's super loud! I'm now using a dead cat over the mic and moved the laptop further away but that only helped very little. Thanks again! Love your videos and keep up the amazing work! :D

[@laneamala]

Ooops, commented on wrong video. Thanks for this helpful video! I now have power. It was a case of not closing the battery holder door with the AC adaptor. Now I've shut the door and the camera switches on. Good, concise, to the point video of yours, helped me fix this duh simple issue.

[@RayOrtega]

Glad you got it working!

[@EmilyOlson]

This was awesome! I just got my camera & this helped me most out of any tutorial!

[@RayOrtega]

+Emily Olson awesome, thanks Emily!

[@pawnerz12]

+TvMarshin I would say mid .... judging by the thousands of reviews I watched before buying my 70d

[@pawnerz12]

+TvMarshin I would say mid .... judging by the thousands of reviews I watched before buying my 70d

[@pawnerz12]

+TvMarshin your welcome - I'm my opinion no camera is better than any other, I don't believe in the whole mid range, high end because at the end of it all its the way the user feels about the camera and how well it suits them that defines its value.... not specs or value.... my canon 70d is superior at video for many reasons and even though it's not the most expensive I wouldn't change it for anything else .... well....perhaps the 80d

[@pawnerz12]

+TvMarshin it will not disappoint ! let me know how you get on 👍

[@PrabhartandPhotography]

Hi there in my canon 70D its showing shutter speed 45 or 60..unable to set 50....any suggestion will be appreciated.

it's about time. I was searching for this yesterday morning.

[@RayOrtega]

Tammy David glad you found it!;)

[@benbedell2944]

Hi Ray, by chance will you be doing a tutorial similar to this one for the 90D? Thanks in advance.

[@RayOrtega]

I didn't necessarily plan to but I can say that most of what you see in here will apply directly to the 90D. I try to make these so that for the most part, you can setup any camera with manual settings. The 90D in manual will work the same. It may be a good idea for me to look at that cam at some point but any review/setup would be too long to wait for;) Happy to try and answer any specific questions however. Thanks for the interest, Ben!

[@HairJordan]

+Bella Anamaria awesome, congrats Bella and thanks for watching!

[@miles1657]

is there a slowmotion setting for the canon 70d? i really need to know that.. :)

[@RayOrtega]

No. You would need to shoot at 60fps in then slow it down in your editing software.

[@tapadk1466]

Thank for a very informative video about the 70d. Never thought I would need the video function, but since I do your video really helped getting things dialed in.

[@RayOrtega]

Cool, thanks for letting me know 👍

[@Highintensityhealth]

Great video, Ray! I subscribed to your channel. Do you export audio as stereo or mono for youtube. I have this issue when using the H2 zoom...it comes through on one channel.

[@RayOrtega]

+High Intensity Health thanks for the sub! I export as stereo. If you are having audio on only the left or right channel only, simply fix that audio in post. In premiere you can use the audio effects to "Fill left or right" with the same audio.

[@elcompafelix]

Can you do a video for vlogging settings? Because when I vlog there's a lot of lighting change when I walk around

[@RayOrtega]

+wesker562 good video suggestion, thanks. I won't be able to record that for a long time but I can tell you to try Tv (shutter priority) and adjust the exposure compensation if necessary. The auto settings on these cams is really good and this will handle the varying exposure changes for you while vlogging.

[@rutbamamun3042]

what camera and lens did you use to film this video? it's so amazing😮

[@ChristieGopi]

It's using short film and album

[@angelopro341]

thank you so much. I just got the 70d because is heard how great it is, but it never occurred to me that theres a learning curve, this helped a lot

[@DougGreene]

Wow Ray ... nice overview + drill-down into specifics. So a few questions: * Why use 24 fps vs. 29.97 fps? Why do you prefer 24? * Do you use the autofocus? (It's so good on the 70d). * Do you ever use the MagicLantern software?

[@RayOrtega]

+Doug Greene thanks Doug! 24fps is the standard used in film. That's about it. You'll get a small difference in motion blur between 24 and 30 but another advantage is that you can get more natural light into the camera because you will be able to lower your shutter speed when using 24fps. 24fps = 1/50 shutter. 30fps = 1/60th. I use AF when I need it but there are times, depending on what you are filming when it will lose focus and snap back into focus. So it's usually just dependent on the type of filming I'm doing. I have ML on my T2i, it's cool but I can do most of what I want with the native features.

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

After three years this video is STILL useful!!! Glad I ever met Ray here on KZbin :D

Ray! Need some new info on my old 70D. Do you know if anyone has gotten the 70D to work with the EOS Webcam Utility (Beta) ? It's not listed as a supported camera, but I keep reading that some cameras that are not listed may work. Thanks.

[@RayOrtega]

Sorry, Dan I'm not sure and don't have one to test with but give it a shot although I don't think it's included/works if I recall from what I've heard.

[@CenamEkbal]

Yes!! Been waiting for this

[@RemoveBeforeRide]

Very nice tutorial! I am going to shoot an interview video and this helped me a lot! Ray, could you make another tutorial about lighting setup for interview video shooting?

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Mirkamran. Good idea about lighting. I don't setup too many interviews these days but if it's only one person, the lighting can be fairly simple with a single softbox at a minimum, of course you could also use window light if it's not a long interview. If you throw in another smaller light for their hair (so behind them) that can really add to the look and or use that light to fill in the shadows from the keylight which would be about 45 degrees off axis from the interviewee.

Amazing video - thank you so much. One thing: when you show us the settings like mic settings you go straight away to the settings.

I'm gonna check ur channel for more 70D options and settings. But if you haven't can you do a video on the wifi and accessories that work best with the 70D.

Is there a way to turn off any info that appears on the screen (magnifier squares or any white squares)? I'm looking at finding a DSLR camera that has HDMI output that we can use on 3 screen projectors at live events so people can see what is going on more clearly. The current DSLR camera we have does not have this function so people see a constant white magnifier square on the screen all the time which is quite annoying as you can imagine.

QUESTION : On your video I see at 6:41 I see on you camera screen at bottom it shows the 3 AF modes and at the 6:47 mark it still shows the 3 AF modes BUT now to the left of them is a new symbol a Servo AF, that you touch to turn on and off the auto focus. I need that symbol back on mine, I used to use it and now its gone like in your video at the 6:41 mark. What am I missing here? How do I get it back on?

[@MagnumVideos]

Very informative. Can you change the audio gain so it reduces any audio noise in the quiet spots?

[@RayOrtega]

+Magnum you can set the gain at whatever you need for your mics and environment. There is no noise gate if that's what you mean. You'd have to turn it up and down on your own.

Great job explaining the way to set up the 70D for video. I have been intimidated by going manual and now have a good working knowledge of leaving the automatic world. Already have run some trial shots and rather amazed at how much better they look due to being able to have control over the camera!

[@MichaelFasaniPhotography]

1.25 - I found that I do get some flickering when setting camera to 60fps when shooting with IBP at 30 frames/per/second when using artificial light. So why do we have this rule or where does it come from?

[@RayOrtega]

+Michael Fasani Photography it comes from film and only needs to be a starting point. It determines the amount of motion blur in your video and the 180 degree rule is just the amount of motion blur we are used to seeing in every film we've ever watched;) If you get flicker, simply adjust the shutter speed up or down until it goes away. You won't likely see any difference in motion blur with shutter speeds close to the 180 rule.

[@MindfulJustin]

Thanks for the great video! I'd love to hear what your favorite lenses are for the 70D.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Justin. It's tricky cause I haven't tried all lenses but it also really depends on the style of shooting you are doing. I love this lens as an all around lens podhelp.me/Canon35f2ISBH its prime with image stabilization. A lot of people love the Art line from Sigma, this is a very unique zoom lens that has large aperture and looks awesome podhelp.me/sigma1835f18 but if you're shooting handheld, you'd want IS. The other Sigma lenses are great too but Canon's own STM lenses are built to be used with the AF system on the 70D. Lots of great options.

[@MindfulJustin]

Ray Ortega Thanks for tips! Right now I only have the 18-55mm and am trying to figure out the best lens to add for documentary style filmmaking and interviews. I'll have to check these out.

+In The Kitchen With Jonny I use this system podhelp.me/sennpacks516 (affiliate link) and I use a small wired lav from Aspen Mics. Each video has all the gear listed and linked in the description as well just in case you are wondering about any of the other gear. Thanks for watching!

Is there a setting that needs to turned on for the Audi levels to show while you're recording? Thanks.

[@RayOrtega]

+amla kawaii I believe if you cycle through the "info" button on the cam they should come on. You probably want to be in manual audio mode as well.

[@MRCURRYLOVER]

+amla kawaii have you found where to do this? I have done loads of googling and can't find out how

[@usachef100]

+Mark Douglas you must be in manual mode...then video mode.. look at menú and you will find 2 video camera icons...in 1 of those, you will have audio options. use manual if you want to use an external mic.

Great Video. Been looking for a video like this to help me from my switch from my Iphone to my 70D. Never realized how much goes into dslr video making, cant wait to start filming.

[@RayOrtega]

+Michael Steele thanks Michael! Good luck with the 70D and thanks for watching.

[@TAPPChannel]

thanks for that tips... So now what lens do you recommend?? I've got soma basic lens which came with the camera and the video quality is not even that good as iPhone6 video :/ I know it can do better since my wedding camera guy used Canon 70D to film my wedding and the image looks even better than some of the 4k cameras

[@RayOrtega]

The kit lenses should definitely be able to produce better video than an iPhone. I suspect that if you're using manual settings, it's just a matter of learning those better. I bet even if you used auto settings, you'd see better results however you definitely want to get the most of the cam so the key with DSLR video is light, learning exposure, focus because you are on a bigger sensor and less is in focus, composition and again...light;) You can get a lens with a larger aperture which will give you better results in low light when used properly with the other elements I mentioned but the kit lens can produce the same image when used properly. A good "cheap" lens with a large aperture is the 'nifty fifty' amzn.to/2Lm57XA but you'll probably want a wider lens and in that case the 35mm f2 with image stabilization is a really cool option podhelp.me/Canon35f2ISBH seen here in my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6YaHSleL-Ym7s

Ray, could you make a video showing how to compress footage in Premiere before uploading to KZbin?

[@RayOrtega]

Manuel Carrillo III fortunately the presets in Premiere are now really good. I use the KZbin 1080p preset and you can see it looks great.

[@mc3films]

Thanks, Ray. You're the best!

[@SureshKumarG]

+Manuel Carrillo III You can use the Handbrake software to compress it more.

[@mc3films]

+Suresh Kumar G thanks, but I was looking for the best quality.

[@SureshKumarG]

+Manuel Carrillo III it gets you the best quality. Just play with the settings.
